Responsible Gaming
Our Commitment to Safe Gaming
At Rory Gallagher's Wish to Walk, we are committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. Gambling should be enjoyed as entertainment only, never as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. We encourage all players to gamble within their means and to seek help if gambling becomes a concern.
Age Verification
In Ireland, you must be 18 years of age or older to participate in gambling activities. We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of age at any time. If you are under the legal gambling age, please do not use our services.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Please be aware of these common warning signs that may indicate a gambling problem:
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- Gambling with money needed for essentials (bills, rent, food)
- Hiding gambling activity from friends, family, or partners
- Gambling for longer periods or with larger amounts than intended
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when trying to cut down
- Neglecting work, education, or personal relationships due to gambling
- Using gambling to escape problems or negative emotions
- Borrowing money or accumulating debt to fund gambling
- Failed attempts to reduce or control gambling
- Lying about the extent of gambling activity
Self-Help Tools
Most online casinos offer tools to help you maintain control over your gambling:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Establish a maximum amount you are willing to lose
- Betting Limits: Restrict the size of individual bets
- Reality Checks: Receive periodic reminders about how long you've been playing and how much you've wagered
- Time-Out/Cool-Off Periods: Temporarily suspend your account for a set period
- Self-Exclusion: Permanently close your account if you need to stop gambling
We encourage you to use these tools to maintain control and gamble responsibly.
