Responsible Gaming

Gambling Should Be Entertainment

At Ivy and Bee, we believe gambling should only ever be seen 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.

If you are under 18 years of age, or under the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction, you are not permitted to use betting sites. Gambling is only for adults.

Age Verification (18+)

All users must be 18 years of age or older (or the legal gambling age in their jurisdiction) to participate in any form of gambling. It is your responsibility to ensure you meet the legal age requirements in your country.

By accessing betting sites through Ivy and Bee, you confirm that you are of legal age to gamble in your jurisdiction.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

If you recognise any of the following signs in yourself or someone you know, problem gambling may be developing:

• Gambling more frequently or with larger amounts than intended
• Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
• Hiding gambling activities or lying about the amount spent
• Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when unable to gamble
• Neglecting family, work, or other responsibilities due to gambling
• Using gambling to escape problems, stress, or negative emotions
• Borrowing money to fund gambling activities
• Failed attempts to control or stop gambling
• Experiencing financial difficulties as a result of gambling
• Jeopardizing relationships, education, or career opportunities

If you experience any of these signs, please seek help immediately.

Self-Help Tools and Controls

Most reputable betting operators provide tools to help you gamble responsibly:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specified timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly)
• Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount of losses you are willing to accept in a given period
• Reality Checks: Receive regular reminders of how long you have been gambling and how much you have staked
• Time-Out/Cool-Off Period: Temporarily suspend your account for a set period (from hours to weeks)
• Self-Exclusion: Permanently or temporarily close your account to prevent further gambling

Use these tools proactively to maintain control of your gambling behaviour.
