Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At Mans Group, we believe that tennis betting and casino gaming should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. If you find yourself relying on gambling as income or to escape difficulties, it's time to seek help.
Remember: The house always has an edge. Only bet what you can afford to lose.
Age Verification
In the United Kingdom, you must be 18 years of age or older to participate in gambling activities. We take age verification seriously and comply with all UK Gambling Commission regulations. By using our site, you confirm that you meet the legal age requirement for your jurisdiction.
If you are under 18, please do not use our betting services.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop without you realizing it. Check if any of these apply to you:
- Chasing losses by betting more money to try to recover what you've lost
- Gambling with money you need for essential expenses (rent, bills, food)
- Hiding your gambling activities from family, friends, or partners
- Neglecting work, school, or personal relationships due to gambling
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when not gambling
- Increasing the amount you bet to get the same level of excitement
- Lying about the amount of time or money spent on gambling
- Using gambling as an escape from stress, anxiety, or depression
- Borrowing money or accumulating debt to fund gambling
- Failed attempts to cut back or stop gambling
If you recognize any of these signs, help is available.
Self-Help Tools and Safeguards
Most reputable betting operators, including those featured on Mans Group, offer tools to help you maintain control:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specified period (daily, weekly, monthly)
- Loss Limits: Restrict the amount you can lose in a given timeframe
- Reality Checks: Receive reminders during betting sessions about how much time and money you've spent
- Time-Out (Self-Exclusion): Take a break from betting for a period you choose (typically 24 hours to several weeks)
- Self-Exclusion Schemes: Permanently or temporarily exclude yourself from multiple gambling operators
Use these tools proactively. They are there to help you maintain control and enjoy betting responsibly.
