Responsible Gaming
Our Commitment to Safe Gaming
At British Deer Society, we believe that gaming should be enjoyed as entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. We are committed to promoting responsible gaming practices and supporting players who may be experiencing difficulties.
Age Verification
All players must be 18 years of age or older to participate in crypto casino gaming. This is a legal requirement in the United Kingdom and most jurisdictions. We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of identity to confirm your eligibility.
If you are under 18, please do not use our affiliated casino services.

Self-Help Tools & Controls
Most reputable crypto casinos offer tools to help you maintain control over your gaming:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specified time period
- Loss Limits: Restrict the amount you're willing to lose during a gaming session
- Session Time Limits: Automatically log you out after a set period of play
- Reality Checks: Regular pop-up reminders of how long and how much you've been playing
- Self-Exclusion: Voluntarily exclude yourself from gaming for a set period (typically 6 months to 5 years)
