Responsible Gambling

At Rahtu, we care deeply about safe and responsible gambling. As a trusted comparison platform for UK online casinos, we believe our duty is to help players make smart, balanced, and informed choices when they play.

1. Gambling as Fun, Not Income

Playing casino games should always be for fun and leisure — not as a way to make money or fix financial problems. Gambling comes with risks, and it's important to understand them clearly. Always keep realistic expectations and never play hoping for guaranteed wins.

2. Staying in Control

To keep gambling healthy and enjoyable, follow these simple tips:

Decide your budget before playing and never spend more than you can lose comfortably.
Set clear time limits and stick to them.
Don't try to win back lost money by betting more.
Avoid gambling when you're stressed, upset, tired, or under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
Make sure gambling never affects your work, family life, or daily responsibilities.

3. Recognizing the Warning Signs

Ask yourself the following questions to check if gambling is becoming a problem:

Do you often spend more time or money than you planned?
Do you hide your gambling habits from others?
Do you use gambling to escape problems or negative feelings?
Have you ever lied about how much you gamble or lose?

If any of these feel true, you might be developing harmful habits. Reaching out for help early can make a big difference.
