Gambling Should Be Entertainment
At Mystake on equorum.co.uk, we believe gambling should be enjoyable entertainment only—never a way to make money or solve financial problems. Please gamble within your means and only with money you can afford to lose.
Age Verification
Mystake is only available to players aged 18 years or over (or the legal age in your jurisdiction). We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of age at any time. By using this site, you confirm you meet the legal age requirement.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
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 or lying about time and money spent
- Gambling with money needed for essentials (rent, bills, food)
- Feeling anxious or irritable when not gambling
- Neglecting family, friends, work, or education due to gambling
- Unsuccessfully trying to cut down or stop gambling
- Borrowing money to gamble or to repay gambling debts
- Using gambling to escape problems or negative emotions
If you recognise any of these signs in yourself or someone else, it's important to seek help immediately.
Self-Help Tools Available at Mystake
Mystake offers several built-in tools to help you maintain control of your gambling:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit over a specific period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Cap the amount you're willing to lose in a set timeframe
- Reality Checks: Receive periodic reminders during your gaming sessions about the time and money spent
- Session Limits: Set automatic time limits for your playing sessions
