Responsible Gaming
Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming
At bhpegasus.org.uk, we are committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. Gambling should be enjoyed as entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Please gamble within your means and only with money you can afford to lose.
Age Verification
We take age verification seriously. In the United Kingdom, you must be 18 years of age or older to participate in gambling activities. By accessing our site, you confirm that you meet this legal requirement. We reserve the right to request proof of age at any time.

- Hiding gambling activity or lying about the extent of your gambling
- Gambling to escape problems, stress, anxiety, or negative emotions
- Neglecting family, work, education, or social responsibilities due to gambling
- Borrowing money or getting into debt to fund gambling
- Experiencing mood changes or irritability when unable to gamble
- Failed attempts to cut down or control gambling
