Responsible Gaming

Gaming Should Be Entertainment

At Orchid Consulting, we promote responsible gaming practices. Gambling should only ever be viewed as a form of 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 or borrow money to gamble.

Age Verification

By accessing Cosmobet through our affiliate links, you confirm that you are:

• At least 18 years of age (or the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction, whichever is higher)
• Not a self-excluded individual from any UK gambling operator
• Legally permitted to gamble in your country of residence

Gambling is strictly prohibited for anyone under the legal age. Parents and guardians should monitor young people's online activity.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

If you recognise any of the following warning signs in yourself or someone else, please seek help immediately:

• Gambling more frequently or with larger amounts than intended
• Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
• Lying to family, friends, or others about gambling activities
• Neglecting work, education, family, or personal relationships due to gambling
• Gambling to escape problems, stress, anxiety, or depression
• Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when attempting to cut down or stop gambling
• Borrowing money or going into debt to fund gambling
• Spending more money on gambling than you can afford to lose
• Experiencing blackouts or memory loss related to gambling sessions
• Unsuccessful attempts to control, reduce, or stop gambling

Self-Help Tools & Responsible Gaming Features

Most licensed operators offer tools to help you maintain control over your gambling. These include:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
• Loss Limits: Restrict the total amount you can lose during a set timeframe
• Wagering Limits: Control the maximum bet size on individual games or wagers
• Reality Checks: Receive regular notifications during gaming sessions reminding you of time and money spent
• Session Time Limits: Set a maximum duration for each gaming session
• Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from accessing gambling accounts
• Account Closure: Permanently close your account if you wish to stop gambling

We strongly encourage you to utilise these tools to maintain healthy gambling habits.
