At Cooldrawings, we believe that eSports betting should always be an enjoyable and entertaining experience. Kyle Tanner and the entire Cooldrawings team are genuinely committed to promoting safe, responsible gambling practices for every visitor to cooldrawings.co.uk. We recognise that for a small number of people, gambling can become harmful, and we take that responsibility seriously. This page exists to give you honest, practical guidance — no judgment, just support.
Cooldrawings operates exclusively for the GB market and upholds a strict 18+ only policy. It is illegal for anyone under the age of 18 to place a bet in Great Britain. Every licensed operator we recommend is required to carry out robust age verification checks before accepting any real-money wager. If you suspect a young person is accessing gambling content, please contact the relevant operator immediately or report it to the UK Gambling Commission.
Problem gambling can develop gradually and is not always easy to recognise in yourself. Being aware of the warning signs is the first step toward getting help. Common signs include:
If any of these signs feel familiar, please read on — help is available and recovery is absolutely possible.
Take a moment to answer these questions honestly. If you answer yes to two or more, we strongly encourage you to seek support.
All UK-licensed betting operators are required by law to provide tools that help you stay in control. We encourage every player to use these features proactively, not just in moments of crisis.
You can set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits directly in your account settings on any regulated platform. Once set, a limit cannot be increased immediately — there is a mandatory cooling-off period before any upward change takes effect. Use this tool to define a clear budget before you start betting.
Reality check notifications remind you how long you have been logged in and how much you have spent during a session. Activating this feature helps you stay grounded and make conscious decisions rather than getting caught up in the moment.
If you feel your betting is getting out of hand but are not ready for a full break, a cooling-off period lets you pause your account for a short, defined time — typically between 24 hours and 6 weeks. This breathing space can help you reflect and reset.
Self-exclusion is the most powerful tool available. GAMSTOP is the UK's free national self-exclusion scheme. Registering at www.gamstop.co.uk allows you to exclude yourself from all UKGC-licensed gambling websites at once for a minimum of six months. Once registered, the exclusion cannot be reversed during the chosen period. We strongly recommend this option if gambling is causing you real harm.
You do not have to deal with this alone. The following organisations offer free, confidential support for anyone affected by problem gambling in Great Britain and beyond:
eSports betting can be a genuinely fun way to engage with the games you love — but it should never come at the cost of your wellbeing, your finances, or your relationships. Kyle Tanner and the Cooldrawings team encourage you to set limits, take breaks, and reach out for help whenever you need it. If you have concerns about your own gambling or someone else's, please contact one of the organisations listed above today. There is no shame in asking for help — it is the smartest bet you can make.
