Responsible Gaming
Our Commitment to Safe Gambling
Gambling Should Be Entertainment, Not Income
At Thomson Sales, we believe that gambling should be enjoyable entertainment only. It should never be considered a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Betting sites are designed for fun and leisure activities. If you find yourself relying on gambling as an income source, it's time to seek help.
Age Verification
All users must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction) to access our affiliated betting sites. We take age verification seriously and support responsible gambling practices. If you are under the legal age, please do not attempt to gamble.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Please be aware of these warning signs that may indicate problem gambling:
- Chasing losses by gambling with more money to recover what you've lost
- Hiding your gambling activity from family, friends, or partners
- Gambling with money intended for bills, rent, or essential expenses
- Feeling anxious or irritable when trying to reduce or stop gambling
- Neglecting work, school, or family responsibilities due to gambling

- Experiencing mood swings or emotional distress related to gambling
- Unsuccessful attempts to cut back or stop gambling

If you recognize any of these signs in yourself or someone you know, reach out for support immediately.
Self-Help Tools and Responsible Gaming Features
Most reputable betting sites offer the following tools to help you gamble responsibly:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific time period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount of losses you're willing to accept
- Reality Checks: Receive regular notifications showing how long you've been gambling and how much you've spent
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from an account to take a break from gambling
