Responsible Gaming
Our Commitment to Safe Gambling
At Clevedon Flower Show, we believe that gambling 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 those who may be affected by problem gambling.
Age Verification
All betting sites featured on our platform are strictly for adults aged 18 years and over (or the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction). If you are under the legal age to gamble, please do not use any betting services. It is your responsibility to ensure you comply with local laws and regulations.

Self-Help Tools
Most reputable betting sites offer tools to help you maintain control of your gambling:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific time period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Establish a maximum amount you are willing to lose
- Reality Checks: Receive notifications during gambling sessions to remind you how long you've been gambling
- Time-Out: Take a temporary break from your account
- Self-Exclusion: Voluntarily exclude yourself from an operator for a set period or permanently
Take advantage of these tools to gamble responsibly. You should always set limits before you start gambling and stick to them.
