Responsible Gaming
Gambling Should Be Entertainment
We want to remind all our visitors that gambling should only ever be viewed as a form of entertainment, not as a way to make money or solve financial problems. While betting can be enjoyable, it carries real financial risks. Only gamble with money you can afford to lose, and never see it as an investment or income source.
Age Verification
In the United Kingdom, you must be 18 years of age or older to gamble legally. If you are under 18, gambling is strictly prohibited. originalmoving.com and affiliated betting sites are exclusively for adults. We take age verification seriously and encourage all operators to implement robust checks to ensure compliance with UK gambling laws.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognise any of the following signs in yourself or someone you know, it may indicate a gambling problem:
- Constantly chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- Hiding gambling activities or lying about the time and money spent gambling
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when trying to reduce gambling
- Gambling with increasing amounts of money to achieve the same excitement
- Neglecting personal, professional, or family responsibilities due to gambling
- Using gambling to escape problems, stress, or negative emotions
- Borrowing money or incurring debt to fund gambling
- Jeopardising relationships, employment, or education because of gambling
- Failed attempts to cut back or stop gambling
- Experiencing physical symptoms (sleep problems, headaches) related to gambling stress
If you experience any of these signs, please seek help immediately.
Self-Help Tools and Controls
Most responsible betting operators provide tools to help you maintain control over your gambling:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to lose before your account is temporarily restricted
- Time Limits: Set reminders or automatic session timeouts to prevent prolonged gambling sessions
- Reality Checks: Enable pop-up notifications during play to remind you of time and money spent
- Self-Exclusion: Take a break by temporarily or permanently closing your account to prevent access
These tools are designed to empower you. Use them proactively to maintain a healthy relationship with gambling.
