Responsible Gambling

Gambling and Risk

Rabbit Road and all crash-style games involve real financial risk. Outcomes are determined by chance and cannot be predicted, controlled, or influenced by any strategy. Gambling should always be treated as a form of entertainment – never as a source of income or a way to recover financial losses.

Before playing on any real-money platform, a clear budget should be set and treated as a fixed cost of entertainment. Once that limit is reached, play should stop regardless of the session’s results. Chasing losses is one of the most common contributors to gambling-related harm.

Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can develop gradually and is not always easy to recognise. Common signs include spending more than originally intended, gambling with money set aside for other purposes, feeling unable to stop, and neglecting work, relationships, or personal responsibilities as a result of gambling activity.

Tools Available Through Licensed Operators

All platforms licensed by the UK Gambling Commission are required to provide tools that help players manage their gambling. These include deposit limits, loss limits, session time limits, reality check notifications, and temporary or permanent self-exclusion. These tools are available through the account settings of any UKGC-licensed platform.

Setting limits before starting a session – rather than during or after – is the most effective way to use these tools. Players are encouraged to make use of them as a matter of routine, not only when a problem has already developed.

GamStop and Self-Exclusion

GamStop is a free self-exclusion scheme that allows players to restrict access to all UK-licensed gambling websites and apps in a single step. Once registered, access is blocked across all participating operators for a chosen period – a minimum of six months, up to five years or permanently.

Self-exclusion through individual operators is also available and takes effect immediately upon request. Both options can be used alongside each other for additional protection. If gambling is causing financial or personal harm, self-exclusion is a practical and immediate step that any player can take.
