Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At Castle Forbes Wealth, we believe that casino gaming should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Gambling carries risks, and it's important to approach it responsibly and within your means.
Only gamble with money you can afford to lose, and never view it as a source of income or investment.
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 in your jurisdiction, please do not use our affiliated casino services.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Please be aware of the following warning signs that may indicate problematic gambling behaviour:
- Spending more money on gambling than you can afford to lose
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- Hiding gambling activity or lying about time and money spent gambling
- Experiencing mood swings or irritability when not gambling
- Neglecting family, friends, work, or education due to gambling
- Using gambling to escape problems, stress, or negative emotions
- Continuing to gamble despite negative consequences
- Borrowing money or accumulating debt to fund gambling
- Failed attempts to reduce or stop gambling
- Feeling a need to gamble with increasing amounts to achieve the same excitement
If you recognize any of these signs in yourself or someone you know, please seek help immediately.

Most licensed online casinos offer tools to help you maintain control over your gambling:
