Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Fun, Not a Way to Make Money
At buskingforourplanet.com, we're committed to promoting responsible gaming. Gambling should only ever be viewed as entertainment—a way to spend your leisure time for enjoyment. It should never be considered as a method to earn money, pay bills, or solve financial problems.
Please gamble within your means and only with money you can afford to lose. If you find yourself struggling to control your gambling habits, help is available.
Age Verification
Gambling is only available to individuals aged 18 years and over in the United Kingdom. It is your responsibility to ensure you meet this legal requirement before participating in any gambling activities on our site or at Grosvenor casinos.
We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of age at any time.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognize any of the following signs in yourself or someone you know, it may indicate a problem with gambling:
- Constantly thinking about gambling or past gambling experiences
- Needing to gamble with increasing amounts of money to achieve the same excitement
- Repeatedly trying to cut back or stop gambling, but being unable to do so
- Feeling restless or irritable when attempting to reduce gambling
- Gambling to escape problems, anxiety, depression, or other negative emotions
- Lying to family, friends, or therapists about the extent of your gambling
- Chasing losses by returning another day to try to win back money you've lost
- Jeopardizing relationships, education, or career opportunities due to gambling
- Asking others for money to finance gambling activities
- Being unable to account for missing money or unexplained financial problems
If you've noticed any of these signs, please reach out for support immediately.
Self-Help Tools & Controls
Grosvenor and responsible gaming operators provide various tools to help you maintain control:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific time period (daily, weekly, or monthly).

- Reality Checks: Receive periodic reminders about how long you've been playing and how much you've spent.
- Time Limits: Set a maximum duration for your gaming sessions.
- Self-Exclusion: Voluntarily exclude yourself from gambling for a set period, ranging from days to years.
