Lucky 8 understands that while for the majority of our customers gambling is an entertaining hobby there are a minority of people who do gamble beyond their means. Lucky 8 is committed to providing an environment where anyone who feels they may have a problem with gambling can access whatever help they need.
To this end within our site we provide:
- Customer driven maximum deposit limits
- Self Exclusion Options
- Links to GamCare
- Tools to prevent underage gambling.
Deposit Limits
Located within our User Accounts section customers will find the functionality which allows them to set for themselves a limit above which they will not be allowed to deposit for that period. Hence if you set a £100 weekly deposit limit here you will not be able to deposit more than that within a seven day period.
Self Exclusion Options
If you feel that you are unable to control your gambling on our site then we offer the option of Self-Exclusion. If you chose this option we will disable your account and prevent you from opening any other accounts with us for a pre-determined period (between 6 months and 5 years.) During this period we will also take all reasonable actions to prevent you accessing our site via new accounts. For information about Self Exclusion please call our Customer Service team on 0800 912 0620.
Maintaining Control
Gambling should be a source of fun, enjoyed in a controlled manner, it may help you to think about the following:
- Gambling should be a source of entertainment and not viewed as a way of making money.
- Gamble within your means - predetermine the maximum you are willing to lose and stick with it.
- Don't chase your losses.
- Keep track of the amount you win/lose.
- If you need to talk to someone about problem gambling then contact Gamcare. They are a charity set up to support and counsel anyone who may have problems gambling. Their helpline is 0845 6000 133 or visit their website http://www.gamcare.org.uk .
