Responsible Gaming

Gambling Should Be Entertainment

At 1citysquare.com, we believe darts betting should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Please gamble responsibly and only with money you can afford to lose.

Betting carries risk. While we strive to provide an enjoyable experience, it's important to understand that the odds always favour the bookmaker over time.

Age Verification

In Great Britain, you must be 18 years of age or older to gamble legally. We are committed to preventing underage gambling and verify the age of all users during registration.

If you are under 18, or if you know of anyone underage gambling, please contact the relevant authorities or support organisations listed below.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can affect anyone. Please be honest with yourself and look out for these warning signs:

• Chasing losses by betting more money to recover what you've lost
• Spending more time or money on gambling than intended
• Hiding your gambling activities from family, friends, or partners
• Borrowing money to gamble or gamble to pay debts
• Neglecting work, school, or family responsibilities due to gambling
• Feeling anxious, irritable, or depressed when not gambling
• Unsuccessful attempts to cut down or stop gambling
• Gambling to escape problems or relieve stress
• Jeopardising relationships, employment, or educational opportunities

If you recognise any of these signs in yourself or someone else, please seek help immediately.
