At SisterCasinoUK, we are dedicated to ensuring that your online gaming experience remains fun, safe, and entertaining. While we are an information portal and comparison site, we believe it is our duty to promote responsible gambling practices and provide our visitors with the tools they need to stay in control.
Gambling should always be treated as a form of entertainment, not a way to make money. This page outlines our commitment to player protection and provides resources for those who may need assistance.
For the majority of people, gambling is a harmless leisure activity. However, for some, it can become a problem. It is important to recognize the signs of problem gambling early.
Ask yourself the following questions:
Do you stay away from work or college to gamble?
Do you gamble to escape from a boring or unhappy life?
When you run out of money while gambling, do you feel lost and in despair and need to gamble again as soon as possible?
Do you gamble until your last penny is gone, even the fare home or the cost of a cup of tea?
Have you ever lied to cover up the amount of money or time you have spent gambling?
Have others criticized your gambling?
If you answered “yes” to some of these questions, you may have a gambling problem. We strongly recommend speaking to one of the organizations listed below.
The casinos we review and list on SisterCasinoUK are required to provide tools to help you manage your gambling. We encourage you to use these tools proactively:
Most reputable casinos allow you to set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits. This prevents you from spending more than you can afford to lose.
If you need a short break, you can use the “Time-Out” feature to block access to your account for a short period (usually 24 hours to 6 weeks).
If you feel your gambling is getting out of control, you should request a Self-Exclusion. This will block access to your account for a longer period (usually 6 months to 5 years). During this time, the operator will take reasonable steps to prevent you from opening new accounts.
SisterCasinoUK is strictly for users aged 18 and over. It is illegal for anyone under the age of 18 to gamble.
We encourage parents to use filtering software to prevent minors from accessing gambling websites. Popular filtering services include:
Net Nanny: www.netnanny.com
CyberPatrol: www.cyberpatrol.education
GamBlock: www.gamblock.com

To ensure your gambling remains fun and safe, try to follow these simple rules:
Set a budget: Decide how much you can afford to lose before you start playing and stick to it.
Don’t chase losses: If you lose money, don’t try to win it back by increasing your stakes. This usually leads to bigger losses.
Keep track of time: It’s easy to lose track of time when you’re having fun. Set a time limit for your gaming sessions.
Don’t gamble when upset or depressed: Your decision-making can be impaired when you are not feeling your best.
Balance gambling with other activities: Ensure gambling is not your only form of entertainment.
