Responsible Gaming
Gambling Should Be Entertainment
At Inequality Street, we're committed to promoting responsible gaming. Gambling should only ever be viewed as entertainment, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Only gamble with money you can afford to lose, and never chase losses.
We encourage all visitors to our site to gamble responsibly and within their means.
Age Verification
Gambling is only legal for individuals aged 18 years or older in the UK. By accessing betting sites through Inequality Street, you confirm that you are of legal age to gamble in your jurisdiction.
If you are under 18, please do not attempt to gamble. If you suspect someone under 18 is gambling, please report it to the relevant operator or contact the authorities.

- Neglecting family, friends, or work due to gambling

Self-Help Tools & Controls
Most reputable betting operators offer tools to help you maintain control:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to lose
- Stake Limits: Limit the amount you can wager on individual bets
- Reality Checks: Receive periodic reminders of how long you've been gambling and how much you've spent
- Time-Out/Cool-Off: Take a short break from gambling (typically 24 hours to several weeks)
- Self-Exclusion: Exclude yourself from an operator for a set period (minimum usually 6 months)
We recommend using these tools as part of your responsible gambling strategy.
