Responsible Gaming
Gambling Should Be Entertainment, Not Income
At Ray Mills, we're committed to promoting responsible gambling. Sports betting should be an enjoyable form of entertainment, not a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Only gamble what you can afford to lose, and never chase losses or bet beyond your means.
If you're in the UK and need support, help is available 24/7 from qualified professionals.
Age Verification
You must be at least 18 years old (or the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction) to use betting sites or place wagers. Gambling is not permitted for anyone under the legal age. We take age verification seriously and require all users to confirm their age during registration.
If you are under 18, please do not use this website or any online gambling services.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually. Be aware of these warning signs:
- Chasing losses: Betting more money to recover losses from previous bets
- Hiding gambling activity: Keeping betting a secret from family or friends
- Loss of control: Inability to stop gambling or stick to a budget
- Neglecting responsibilities: Prioritising gambling over work, family, or personal commitments
- Increasing stakes: Needing to bet larger amounts to get the same excitement
- Lying about gambling: Being dishonest with others about time or money spent
- Financial problems: Borrowing money to gamble or gambling with money needed for essentials
- Mood changes: Anxiety, irritability, or depression related to gambling
- Failed attempts to quit: Repeatedly trying and failing to cut back or stop
- Gambling to escape: Using gambling to cope with stress, loneliness, or difficult emotions
If you recognise any of these signs in yourself or someone else, help is available.
Self-Help Tools & Controls
Most licensed betting operators offer built-in tools to help you manage your gambling responsibly:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a set period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Cap the amount you're willing to lose over a given timeframe
- Bet Limits: Restrict the maximum stake size on individual bets
- Reality Checks: Regular notifications reminding you how long you've been gambling and how much you've spent
- Time-Out (Cool-Off Period): Take a temporary break from betting (days or weeks) while keeping your account open
- Self-Exclusion: Permanently close your account for an extended period (6 months to several years)
We encourage you to use these tools to maintain control. Ask your betting operator for help setting them up.
