Responsible Gaming
Gambling Should Be Entertainment, Not Income
At Solar and Green, we're committed to promoting responsible gaming. Gambling should only ever be viewed as a form of entertainment, similar to going to the cinema or theatre. It should never be considered a way to earn money or solve financial problems.
Please gamble within your means and only spend what you can afford to lose. If you're looking for ways to manage your gaming, we've provided resources and support information below.
Age Verification
Online gambling in the UK is only legal for individuals aged 18 and over. If you are under 18, you must not access or use any casino services.
It is illegal for operators to offer gambling services to anyone under the legal age of majority in their jurisdiction. If you are unsure of your local legal age requirements, please check with your local regulatory body.

Self-Help Tools and Features
Most reputable online casinos offer the following responsible gaming tools:
Deposit Limits
Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specified timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly). This helps you control your spending.
Loss Limits
Set a maximum amount of losses you're willing to accept. When you reach this limit, you'll be prevented from gambling further.
Reality Checks
Receive regular pop-up reminders showing how long you've been playing and how much you've spent. This helps maintain awareness during your gaming session.
Time-Out (Cool-Off Period)
Take a temporary break from gambling for a period you choose (hours, days, or weeks). Your account will be temporarily suspended.
Self-Exclusion
Permanently exclude yourself from a casino or use multi-operator self-exclusion schemes to restrict access across multiple gambling sites.
Contact the casino's customer support team to activate any of these tools.
