Responsible Gaming
Gambling Should Be Entertainment
At Finch n Berry, we're committed to promoting responsible gaming. Online casino games should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. The house always has a mathematical advantage, and there is no guaranteed way to win.
We encourage all players to gamble within their means and to take regular breaks from play.
Age Verification
In Ireland, you must be at least 18 years of age to participate in gambling activities. We take this requirement seriously and verify the age of all players during registration.
If you are under 18, or if you believe someone underage is gambling, please do not proceed and contact the relevant authorities.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop without warning. Please be honest with yourself and watch for these warning signs:
- Chasing losses — Trying to win back money you've lost by gambling more
- Hiding gambling activity — Keeping your gambling secret from friends or family
- Neglecting responsibilities — Missing work, school, or family commitments due to gambling
- Spending more than planned — Gambling longer or wagering more than you intended
- Inability to stop — Feeling unable to reduce or quit gambling despite wanting to
- Gambling with money you can't afford to lose — Using rent, bills, or essential expense funds
- Mood changes — Feeling anxious, irritable, or depressed when not gambling
- Borrowing money to gamble — Taking loans or using credit to fund gambling activity
- Relationship problems — Arguments with loved ones about gambling habits
- Failed attempts to cut back — Repeatedly trying and failing to reduce gambling
If you recognize any of these signs in yourself or someone you know, please reach out for support.
