Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment, Not Income
At BetMGM, we believe gambling should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only. Betting should never be considered a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Set a budget you can afford to lose, play for fun, and always gamble responsibly.
Age Verification
In the United Kingdom, you must be 18 years of age or older to participate in gambling activities. BetMGM is committed to preventing underage gambling. We verify the age and identity of all players during registration and may request documentation at any time.
If you are under 18, please do not attempt to register or place bets. Underage gambling is illegal and harmful.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Recognise these warning signs in yourself or others:
- Chasing losses by betting more money to recover what you've lost
- Gambling with money intended for essential expenses (rent, bills, food)
- Hiding your gambling activities or lying about how much you gamble
- Neglecting family, friends, work, or hobbies due to gambling
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when not gambling
- Needing to bet larger amounts to achieve the same excitement
- Unsuccessful attempts to reduce or stop gambling
- Borrowing money or using credit to fund gambling
- Gambling to escape problems or negative emotions

If you recognise any of these signs, please seek help immediately.
