Responsible Gaming
Introduction
At anthonydyson.co.uk, we believe that betting with Ladbrokes should be an enjoyable form of entertainment only. Gambling should never be seen as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Please gamble responsibly and within your means.
Age Verification
You must be 18 years of age or older to gamble in the United Kingdom. This is a legal requirement. If you are under 18, please do not place bets or engage with gambling services.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognise any of the following signs, you may be developing a gambling problem:
- Gambling with money you cannot afford to lose
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- Spending more time or money gambling than intended
- Hiding gambling activities from family, friends or work colleagues
- Feeling anxious, irritable or depressed when unable to gamble
- Neglecting personal, professional or educational responsibilities due to gambling
- Borrowing money to fund gambling
- Failed attempts to cut down or stop gambling
- Using gambling as an escape from stress, worry or emotional problems
If any of these resonate with you, please seek help immediately.

- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specified time period
- Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you are willing to lose within a specified time period
- Reality Checks: Receive pop-up reminders showing how long you have been gambling and how much you have spent
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from gambling for a period you choose
