Responsible Gaming
Our Commitment to Safe Gaming
At thefordsons.com, we are committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. Online slots and casino games should be enjoyed as entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Please gamble within your means and never chase losses.
Age Verification
We take age verification seriously. You must be at least 18 years old or the legal age for gambling in your jurisdiction to access our services. We do not permit access to anyone under the legal gambling age. If you are under 18, please do not attempt to register or play on our platform.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Please be aware of the following warning signs that may indicate problem gambling:
- Spending more money or time gambling than intended
- Feeling the need to gamble with increasing amounts to achieve the same level of excitement
- Repeatedly attempting to cut back or quit gambling without success
- Chasing losses by continuing to gamble to recover money lost
- Hiding gambling activities or lying about the extent of gambling
- Experiencing relationship problems due to gambling
- Using gambling as a way to escape problems or relieve stress
- Borrowing money to gamble or pay gambling debts
- Neglecting work, education, or family responsibilities due to gambling
- Feeling anxious or irritable when unable to gamble
If you recognize any of these signs in yourself or someone else, please seek help immediately.
Self-Help Tools and Controls
Most reputable online casinos, including those we recommend, offer tools to help you maintain control over your gambling:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specified time period
- Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you are willing to lose
- Session Time Limits: Limit how long you can play in one session
- Reality Checks: Receive reminders during play about how long you've been gambling
- Self-Exclusion: Voluntarily exclude yourself from gambling for a set period
- Account Closure: Permanently close your account if needed
We encourage you to use these tools as part of your responsible gaming strategy.
