Responsible Gaming

Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming

At Daisy Bake, we believe that betting and casino games should be enjoyed as entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. We are committed to promoting responsible gaming practices and supporting the wellbeing of our users.

Age Verification

All users must be at least 18 years of age or the legal gambling age in their jurisdiction, whichever is higher. We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of identity at any time. If you are under the legal age to gamble, please do not use our services or access any betting apps we recommend.

Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly)
Loss Limits: Limit the amount you are willing to lose in a given period
Reality Checks: Receive regular reminders of how long you have been playing and how much you have spent
Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from an operator's services
