Responsible Gaming

Gaming Should Be Entertainment, Not Income

At Cave Kitchen, we believe that online poker and casino gaming should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only. Gambling should never be viewed as a way to earn money, pay bills, or solve financial problems. The house always has a mathematical edge, and you should only wager money you can afford to lose.

If you find yourself gambling to escape problems or recover losses, please seek help immediately.

Age Verification

By accessing and using Cave Kitchen, you confirm that you are:

• At least 18 years of age (or the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction)
• Not prohibited by law from gambling in your country or region
• Accessing this site from a location where online gambling is legal

We take age verification seriously. All UK-licensed operators are required to verify player identity and age before allowing deposits or play.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can develop gradually. If you recognise any of the following signs in yourself or someone you know, it may indicate a gambling problem:

• Spending more time or money on gambling than intended
• Chasing losses by gambling more to win back money
• Hiding gambling activity or lying about the amount spent
• Gambling to escape problems, stress, or negative emotions
• Neglecting family, work, or other important responsibilities
• Experiencing mood swings or irritability when unable to gamble
• Borrowing money to fund gambling
• Feeling unable to stop or control gambling despite wanting to
• Experiencing financial difficulties as a result of gambling
• Friends or family expressing concern about your gambling

Self-Help Tools & Safer Gaming Features

Reputable UK licensed operators provide tools to help you maintain control:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to deposit per day, week, or month
• Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you're prepared to lose in a set timeframe
• Session Time Limits: Receive reminders or automatic logout after a set period of play
• Reality Checks: Periodic notifications showing your current session activity and balance
• Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from a site or multiple operators via GamStop (see below)
• Account Closure: Request permanent account termination if needed

We encourage you to use these tools as part of responsible gaming. Never hesitate to set limits that feel right for you.
