Gambling Should Be Fun
At Spinbeyonduk, we believe gambling should be an enjoyable form of entertainment, not a way to make money or solve financial problems. While we provide information about offshore and no-KYC casinos, we take our responsibility to promote safer gambling very seriously.
The casinos we review are not regulated by the UK Gambling Commission and may not have the same player protections as UKGC-licensed sites. This makes it even more important that you gamble responsibly and know where to find help if you need it.
⚠️ Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Gambling may be becoming a problem if you:
- Spend more money or time gambling than you can afford
- Gamble to win back losses ("chasing losses")
- Lie to friends or family about your gambling
- Borrow money or sell possessions to fund gambling
- Neglect work, studies, or family responsibilities due to gambling
- Feel anxious, depressed, or irritable when not gambling
- Gamble to escape problems or relieve negative feelings
- Have tried to cut down or stop but can't
- Experience relationship problems due to gambling
- Find yourself thinking about gambling constantly
If any of these apply to you, please seek help immediately. Problem gambling is treatable, and support is available.
Tips for Safer Gambling
Follow these guidelines to keep gambling fun and under control:
Set Limits and Stick to Them
- Deposit Limits: Decide how much you can afford to lose before you start gambling. Never exceed this amount.
- Time Limits: Set a time limit for your gambling session and stop when time is up.
- Loss Limits: Accept that you may lose money. Set a loss limit and walk away if you reach it.
- Win Limits: If you win, consider cashing out rather than risking your winnings.
Never Gamble with Money You Can't Afford to Lose
- Only gamble with disposable income, never with money needed for bills, rent, or essentials
- Never borrow money to gamble
- Don't use credit cards for gambling
- Keep track of how much you're spending
Don't Chase Losses
- Accept that losses are part of gambling
- Never try to win back money you've lost by gambling more
- If you're having a bad session, take a break or stop for the day
Take Regular Breaks
- Step away from the screen regularly
- Don't gamble when tired, stressed, or under the influence of alcohol
- Balance gambling with other hobbies and activities
Keep Perspective
- Remember that gambling is entertainment, not a way to make money
- The house always has an edge in the long run
- If gambling stops being fun, stop playing
