Responsible Gaming

Gaming Should Be Entertainment

At Noah's Ark Paignton, we believe that gambling should only ever be viewed as a form of entertainment, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. While we aim to provide an enjoyable experience, it's crucial to gamble responsibly and within your means.

Only spend what you can afford to lose, and never chase losses. If you feel that your gambling is becoming a problem, help is available.

Age Verification – 18+ Only

By using Noah's Ark Paignton, you confirm that you are 18 years of age or over, or the legal minimum age for gambling in your jurisdiction, whichever is higher.

We take player protection seriously and do not knowingly accept players under the legal age. If you are under 18, please do not use our services.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Do you recognise any of the following signs in your own gambling behaviour?

  • Chasing losses: Gambling more to try to win back money you've lost
  • Hiding gambling: Keeping your gambling activity secret from family or friends
  • Loss of control: Gambling for longer or with more money than you intended
  • Neglecting responsibilities: Missing work, study, or family time because of gambling
  • Borrowing to gamble: Taking loans or using credit to fund gambling
  • Mood changes: Feeling anxious, irritable, or depressed when not gambling
  • Escalating stakes: Needing to gamble with larger amounts to feel the same excitement
  • Failed attempts to stop: Being unable to reduce or quit gambling despite wanting to

If you recognise any of these signs, please seek help immediately.
