Responsible Gaming
Gambling Should Be Entertainment
At JH Lifts, we're committed to promoting responsible gambling practices. Betting should always be viewed as a form of entertainment, not as a way to make money or solve financial problems. Only gamble with money you can afford to lose, and never chase losses by betting more than you planned.
Remember: the odds are always in favour of the bookmaker. If you find yourself struggling to control your gambling habits, help and support are available.
Age Verification
Gambling is only legal for persons aged 18 years and over in Great Britain. We are committed to preventing underage gambling. If you are under 18, please do not use Ladbrokes or any other gambling services.
Parents and guardians concerned about underage gambling should contact GamCare for advice and support.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Are you experiencing any of the following? If so, you may be developing a gambling problem:
- Gambling more frequently or with larger amounts than intended
- Constantly thinking about gambling or previous betting experiences
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money you've lost
- Hiding gambling activity from family, friends, or partners
- Using gambling to escape stress, anxiety, or other negative feelings
- Borrowing money or getting into debt to fund gambling
- Neglecting work, school, family, or hobbies due to gambling
- Experiencing mood swings or irritability when unable to gamble
- Failed attempts to reduce or stop gambling
- Lying about the amount of time or money spent on gambling
If you recognise any of these signs in your own behaviour, it's important to seek help as soon as possible.
