Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At Luckywave, we believe that casino gaming should be enjoyed as entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Like any form of entertainment, it carries risks and should only be undertaken with money you can afford to lose.
Please gamble responsibly and within your means.
Age Verification
Casino gaming is restricted to individuals aged 18 years or over in the United Kingdom. Luckywave is committed to preventing access by underage users.
By using Luckywave, you confirm that you are 18 years of age or older and meet all legal requirements to participate in online gambling in your jurisdiction.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognize any of the following warning signs in your own behaviour, please seek help immediately:
- Gambling with money you cannot afford to lose
- Chasing losses by gambling more to try to recover money lost
- Hiding your gambling activity from family, friends, or partners
- Spending increasing amounts of time and money on gambling
- Neglecting work, school, family, or social responsibilities due to gambling
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or depressed when not gambling
- Borrowing money to gamble or pay off gambling debts
- Lying about the amount of time or money spent gambling
- Failed attempts to reduce or stop gambling
- Using gambling to escape problems or negative emotions
Self-Help Tools
Luckywave and most regulated operators offer responsible gaming tools to help you maintain control:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specified period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you are willing to lose within a specified period
- Reality Checks: Receive reminder notifications during gaming sessions to help you keep track of time spent
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from your account, preventing access to gaming
- Account Closure: Permanently close your account if you wish to stop gambling
These tools are available in your account settings. We encourage you to use them as part of responsible gaming.
