Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At Lanthhorn Plumbing, we promote responsible gaming practices. Gambling should only ever be viewed as 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
You must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction) to participate in online gambling. If you are under the legal age, please do not access gambling services. Parents and guardians are encouraged to discuss the risks of gambling with young people.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you experience any of the following, you may have a gambling problem:
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- Gambling with increasing amounts of money to achieve the same excitement
- Lying to family, friends, or others about your gambling habits
- Neglecting work, study, or family responsibilities due to gambling
- Gambling to escape problems, stress, anxiety, or depression
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when not gambling
- Borrowing money or using credit to fund gambling activities
- Failed attempts to reduce or stop gambling
- Spending more time and money on gambling than intended
- Jeopardizing relationships, jobs, or educational opportunities
