At Gen Eng, we believe that eSports betting should be an enjoyable and entertaining pastime. Caoimhe Finlayson and the entire Gen Eng team are genuinely committed to promoting safe, responsible gambling practices for every visitor to gen-eng.co.uk. We want you to stay in control, have fun, and never bet more than you can comfortably afford to lose.
This page exists because we care. If you ever feel that gambling is causing you stress, financial difficulty, or conflict in your personal life, please read the guidance below and reach out for support. You are not alone, and help is always available.
All eSports betting in Great Britain is strictly restricted to individuals aged 18 years or older. Gen Eng does not endorse, encourage, or facilitate gambling by anyone under the legal age. Every licensed operator we review is required to carry out robust age verification checks before allowing any real-money activity. If you are under 18, please leave any gambling site immediately.
If you are concerned that a young person in your household may be accessing gambling content online, free parental control tools such as Gamban and Net Nanny can help restrict access to betting websites.
Problem gambling can affect anyone, regardless of experience or income. Being honest with yourself is the first and most important step. Common warning signs include:
If any of these signs feel familiar, please consider taking a break and speaking to a professional support service listed further down this page.
Ask yourself the following questions honestly. If you answer yes to two or more, we strongly encourage you to seek support:
All UK Gambling Commission-licensed operators allow you to set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits directly in your account settings. Setting a limit before you start playing is one of the most effective ways to keep gambling affordable and enjoyable.
Reality check notifications remind you how long you have been gambling during a session. You can enable these alerts in your account to receive regular pop-up reminders, giving you the chance to step back, reflect, and decide whether to continue.
If you feel you need a short break, most licensed operators offer cooling-off periods ranging from 24 hours to several weeks. During this time your account remains open but you cannot deposit or place bets.
GAMSTOP is the UK's free national self-exclusion scheme. Registering at gamstop.co.uk allows you to exclude yourself from all UKGC-licensed gambling websites and apps for a minimum of six months. This is a powerful tool if you feel you need more structured support to stop gambling.
