Responsible Gaming

Introduction

At Lyon Photography, we are committed to promoting responsible gambling practices. Gambling should be enjoyed as entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems.

Live casino gaming involves risk, and there is no guaranteed way to win. We encourage all visitors to gamble within their means and to view any money wagered as the cost of entertainment, similar to going to the cinema or a sporting event.

If you or someone you know is struggling with gambling habits, help and support are available.

Age Verification

Live casino gambling is strictly for adults aged 18 and over in the United Kingdom. By accessing casino content on this website, you confirm that you are of legal age to gamble in your jurisdiction.

If you are under 18, or under the legal gambling age in your country, please do not engage with gambling services. It is illegal and harmful.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Recognise these warning signs in yourself or others:

• Chasing losses: Gambling more money to recover losses
• Loss of control: Inability to stick to gambling limits or stop when intended
• Hiding gambling: Keeping gambling secret from family, friends, or partners
• Neglecting responsibilities: Missing work, school, or family commitments due to gambling
• Financial problems: Borrowing money to gamble or facing debt
• Emotional distress: Gambling to escape stress, anxiety, or depression
• Increased spending: Needing to gamble with larger amounts to feel the same excitement
• Failed attempts to stop: Repeated unsuccessful efforts to reduce or quit gambling
• Relationship strain: Arguments with loved ones about gambling habits
• Withdrawal symptoms: Feeling irritable or anxious when not gambling

If you recognise any of these signs, seek help immediately.

Self-Help Tools

Most reputable online and live casinos offer tools to help you maintain control:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific timeframe (daily, weekly, monthly)
• Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you are willing to lose during a session
• Reality Checks: Receive pop-up reminders during play to check how long you've been gambling and how much you've spent
• Session Time Limits: Set automatic time reminders to encourage breaks
• Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently close your account to prevent gambling
• Account Restrictions: Ask operators to restrict your account access

Use these tools proactively to maintain healthy gambling habits.
