Responsible Gaming

Gambling Should Be Entertainment

At Barwick Farmhouse, we're committed to promoting responsible gambling practices. Golf betting should be an enjoyable form of entertainment, not 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

All gambling services are restricted to individuals aged 18 years and over in the United Kingdom. It is illegal for anyone under 18 to gamble. If you are under 18, please do not use any betting services.

By accessing any betting sites through our recommendations, you confirm that you are of legal age in your jurisdiction and that you have read and accepted the terms and conditions of the operator.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

If you recognise any of the following, you may be developing a gambling problem:

• Spending more time and money on gambling than intended
• Chasing losses by gambling more to try to recover money lost
• Hiding your gambling activities from family or friends
• Borrowing money to gamble or to pay debts from gambling
• Neglecting work, education, or family responsibilities due to gambling
• Feeling anxious, irritable, or depressed when unable to gamble
• Using gambling to escape problems or negative feelings
• Failed attempts to cut down or stop gambling
• Gambling with increasing amounts of money to achieve the same excitement
• Physical symptoms such as sleep disturbance or stress-related illness

If you experience any of these signs, please reach out for support immediately.

Self-Help Tools & Safeguards

Most reputable betting operators offer tools to help you maintain control:

• Deposit Limits: Set a daily, weekly, or monthly limit on how much you can deposit
• Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to lose over a specified period
• Betting Limits: Restrict the size of individual bets
• Reality Checks: Receive regular notifications about how long you've been playing and how much you've spent
• Time-Out: Take a break from gambling for a set period (hours, days, or weeks)
• Self-Exclusion: Permanently close your account if you need to stop gambling entirely

We encourage you to use these tools proactively to maintain control of your gambling.
