Responsible Gaming

Introduction

At Luckywave via hiddenbakery.co.uk, we're committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. Gambling should be treated as entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Set a budget you can afford to lose, treat any winnings as a bonus, and never gamble more than you can comfortably lose.

Age Verification

All players must be 18 years of age or older (or the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction) to use Luckywave. We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of identity and age at any time.

If you are under 18, please do not use this service.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

If you recognize any of the following signs in yourself or someone else, help may be needed:

• Chasing losses by gambling more to try to recover lost money
• Hiding gambling activity from family, friends, or partners
• Gambling with money meant for essentials (rent, bills, food)
• Spending more time or money on gambling than intended
• Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when not gambling
• Lying about the extent of your gambling activity
• Using gambling to escape problems or negative emotions
• Failed attempts to cut down or stop gambling
• Borrowing money to gamble or pay gambling debts
• Neglecting work, school, or family responsibilities

Self-Help Tools

Luckywave provides several tools to help you maintain control:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to deposit within a specific timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly).
• Loss Limits: Establish a limit on losses to prevent spending beyond your means.
• Reality Checks: Enable reminders during play sessions to help you keep track of time and money spent.
• Self-Exclusion: Voluntarily exclude yourself from your account for a period of time (days, weeks, months, or permanently).
• Account Closure: Permanently close your account if you wish to stop gambling.

Contact our support team to set these limits or access these tools.
