Responsible Gaming
Introduction
At Magic Red, we believe that gambling should be enjoyed as entertainment only. It should never be viewed as a way to earn money, pay bills, or solve financial problems. Please gamble responsibly and only with money you can afford to lose.
Age Verification
Magic Red is only available to players aged 18 years and over (or the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction). We are committed to preventing underage gambling. By accessing Magic Red through bristolstreets.co.uk, you confirm that you meet this age requirement.
If you are under the legal age, please do not gamble. If you have concerns about a young person's gambling, contact GamCare for support.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually. Be aware of these warning signs:
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- Gambling with increasing amounts of money to achieve the same excitement
- Spending more time gambling than intended
- Hiding gambling activities or lying about the amount of time or money spent
- Neglecting family, work, school, or other important responsibilities
- Borrowing money to gamble or pay gambling debts
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or depressed when not gambling
- Unsuccessful attempts to cut back or stop gambling
- Using gambling to escape problems or negative feelings
- Risk of losing important relationships or job opportunities due to gambling
If you recognise any of these signs in yourself or someone you know, seek help immediately.

Magic Red provides several tools to help you gamble responsibly:

- Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount of money you are willing to lose before you stop playing.
- Reality Checks: Enable pop-up reminders during your gaming session to help you track time and spending.
- Time-Out (Cool-Off): Take a temporary break from gambling for a set period (hours or days).
