Responsible Gaming
Gambling Should Be Entertainment
Betting should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment, not as a way to make money or solve financial problems. While we want you to enjoy your experience at BetMGM, it's important to understand that the odds always favour the house. Set a budget you can afford to lose and stick to it.
Age Verification
You must be 18 years of age or older to gamble in the United Kingdom. BetMGM is committed to preventing underage gambling. We verify all users' ages during registration and may request additional identification at any time.
If you are under 18, please do not attempt to register or place bets.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Be aware of these warning signs that may indicate problem gambling:
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money you've lost
- Hiding your gambling activity from family, friends, or healthcare providers
- Gambling with money needed for essentials like rent, bills, or food
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when not gambling
- Gambling for longer periods or with larger amounts than intended
- Neglecting work, education, relationships, or hobbies due to gambling
- Lying about how much time or money you spend gambling
- Borrowing money or going into debt to fund gambling
- Failed attempts to cut down or stop gambling
- Using gambling to escape problems or negative emotions
If you recognise any of these signs in yourself or someone else, please seek help immediately.
