Responsible Gaming
Gambling Should Be Entertainment, Not Income
At Fatpirate Casino, we believe gambling should only ever be viewed as a form of entertainment, similar to going to the cinema or watching a sporting event. It should never be considered a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Only gamble with money you can afford to lose, and always set limits before you play.
Age Verification
Fatpirate Casino is only available to players who are 18 years of age or older (or the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction). By accessing our website and services, you confirm that you meet this legal requirement. We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of age at any time.
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 amount of time or money spent gambling
- Gambling to escape problems, stress, anxiety, or depression
- Needing to gamble with larger amounts to achieve the same excitement
- Inability to stop or reduce gambling despite wanting to
- Experiencing financial difficulties due to gambling
- Neglecting family, work, or other responsibilities because of gambling
- Borrowing money to gamble or pay gambling debts
- Feeling irritable or anxious when not gambling
- Gambling with money needed for essential expenses (rent, food, utilities)
If you have ticked any of these boxes, please consider seeking help immediately.
