🛡️ Responsible Play

Competitions should always be fun — a small stake for a bit of excitement and the chance of a great prize. They should never put pressure on your finances or your wellbeing. We are committed to helping everyone who plays with us keep it that way.

You must be 18 or over and resident in the UK to enter our competitions, and we may ask you to verify your age and identity at any time.

A few habits that help keep playing fun:

• decide what you can afford to spend before you enter, and stick to it;
• treat entry fees as the cost of entertainment, never as a way to make money;
• set yourself time limits and take regular breaks;
• never chase losses — a losing streak is not “due” to turn around;
• avoid entering when you’re stressed, upset or have been drinking;
• never borrow money to enter competitions; and
• keep playing in balance with the other things you enjoy.

If you’d like help staying in control, email support@676competitions.co.uk and we can:

• Set a spending limit — a cap on what your account can spend per week or month;
• Give you a break — a temporary cooling-off period during which you cannot enter competitions;
• Self-exclude you — close your account for an extended period or permanently. Self-exclusion cannot be reversed on a whim, and we will confirm to you once it is in place.

We apply these requests as quickly as we reasonably can, and always without judgement.

It might be time to take a break, or to talk to someone, if you notice that you are:

• spending more time or money than you meant to;
• increasing your spending to chase a win;
• playing to escape stress, low mood or boredom;
• hiding how much you play from people close to you;
• borrowing money, selling things or missing payments to fund playing; or
• feeling anxious or guilty about your playing.

Free, confidential support is available 24 hours a day, and talking to someone really does help:

• National Gambling Helpline (GamCare) — call 0808 8020 133, free, 24/7, or visit gamcare.org.uk for live chat and local support;
• BeGambleAware — advice, self-assessment tools and support at begambleaware.org;
• GAMSTOP — free self-exclusion from all British-licensed online gambling sites at gamstop.co.uk;
• Gamblers Anonymous UK — local meetings and peer support at gamblersanonymous.org.uk.

Our competitions are strictly for adults. We check dates of birth at registration, we may require photographic ID before paying out any prize, and we close any account we discover is held by someone under 18 — any entries are void and prizes will not be paid. If you are concerned that someone under 18 is using this site, please tell us at support@676competitions.co.uk and we will investigate.
