Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At Mystake, we believe that online gaming should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only, never as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Gambling always carries risk, and the house always has a mathematical advantage. Please only gamble with money you can afford to lose.
Age Verification
You must be 18 years of age or older to use Mystake and participate in any gambling activities. This is a legal requirement in the United Kingdom. If you are under 18, please do not access our services.
If you are aware of anyone under 18 using our platform, please contact us immediately at our customer support team.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Please be aware of these warning signs that may indicate problem gambling:
- Spending more time or money on gambling than intended
- Continuously trying to recover losses by gambling more ("chasing losses")
- Hiding your gambling activity from family, friends, or partners
- Borrowing money to fund gambling activities
- Neglecting work, school, or family responsibilities due to gambling
- Experiencing mood swings or irritability related to gambling
- Using gambling as an escape from stress, anxiety, or depression
- Unsuccessful attempts to reduce or stop gambling
- Feeling anxiety or restlessness when not gambling
- Gambling with increasing amounts to achieve the same excitement
If you recognise any of these signs in your own behaviour, please seek help immediately.
