Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At Clowne Blues Club, we believe that casino gaming should be enjoyed as entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. While we offer exciting casino welcome bonuses and games, it's important to gamble responsibly and within your means.
Set a budget you can afford to lose, stick to it, and never chase losses. If gambling stops being fun, it's time to seek help.
Age Verification
All players must be 18 years of age or older (or the legal age for gambling in your jurisdiction) to use Clowne Blues Club and participate in casino gaming. We take player protection seriously and verify ages during account registration.
If you are under the legal age, please do not gamble. Gambling is not suitable for minors.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you experience any of the following, you may have a gambling problem:
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money you've lost
- Hiding your gambling activities from family, friends, or partners
- Gambling with money needed for bills, rent, food, or other essentials
- Feeling unable to stop gambling, even when you want to
- Needing to gamble with increasing amounts to get the same excitement
- Borrowing money to gamble or pay off gambling debts
- Neglecting work, school, or family responsibilities due to gambling
- Experiencing anxiety, depression, or stress related to gambling
- Lying to others about the extent of your gambling
- Gambling to escape problems or negative feelings
If you recognise any of these signs in yourself, please reach out for support immediately.

- Session Timers: Set time limits for your gaming sessions
