Responsible Gaming
Introduction
At Scented London, we believe that gambling should be enjoyed as entertainment only. It is not a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Please gamble responsibly and within your means. If you find yourself struggling with gambling, help and support are available.
Age Verification
Gambling is strictly reserved for individuals aged 18 years or older (or the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction). We do not permit gambling by minors. It is your responsibility to ensure you meet the legal age requirements before engaging with any gambling activities.
If you are under 18, please do not use this site.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognize any of the following signs in yourself or someone you know, it may indicate a gambling problem:
- Spending more time and money on gambling than intended
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- Hiding gambling activities from family, friends, or partners
- Neglecting work, school, family, or social commitments due to gambling
- Borrowing money or going into debt to fund gambling
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or depressed when unable to gamble
- Needing to gamble with increasing amounts of money to achieve the same excitement
- Failed attempts to cut back or stop gambling
- Lying about the extent of your gambling
- Using gambling as a way to escape problems or negative emotions

- Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you are willing to lose
- Time Limits: Set a time limit for your gambling sessions
- Reality Checks: Regular reminders during play to help you stay aware of time and money spent
