Responsible Gambling at Vave UK
At vave-uk.co.uk, player wellbeing is a genuine priority — not just a regulatory requirement. We are committed to providing a safe, transparent, and enjoyable environment for all players. Gambling should always be a form of entertainment, never a source of financial stress or harm. This page outlines the tools, resources, and guidance available to help you stay in control of your gambling activity. If you ever feel that gambling is negatively affecting your life, please use the resources on this page or contact our support team immediately.
Age Restriction & Verification
Vave strictly enforces an 18+ policy across all services on vave-uk.co.uk. Age verification is mandatory during registration and may be requested again at any point. We also support parental control tools to help prevent underage access. If you suspect a minor has accessed the platform, notify us immediately.
Self-Control Tools Available on Vave
Vave provides a range of player-controlled tools designed to help you manage your gambling behaviour proactively:
- Deposit limits – set daily, weekly, or monthly caps on how much you can deposit
- Session time limits – receive alerts or automatic logouts after a set period
- Reality checks – periodic pop-up reminders showing your session time and activity
- Cool-off periods – take a break from 24 hours up to 6 weeks
- Self-exclusion – permanently or temporarily block access to your Vave account
Self-Exclusion
If you feel you need a longer break, you can request self-exclusion directly through your account settings or by contacting Vave support. Self-exclusion can last from 6 months to 5 years, or be permanent. During this period, you will not receive any promotional communications from Vave. You can also register with GAMSTOP, the UK's national self-exclusion scheme, at gamstop.co.uk, which will block access to all GAMSTOP-registered UK gambling sites simultaneously.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
It can be difficult to recognise when gambling becomes problematic. Some common signs include:
- Gambling with money meant for essential expenses
- Chasing losses or gambling to recover debt
- Spending increasing amounts of time or money gambling
- Neglecting work, family, or social commitments due to gambling
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or secretive about gambling habits
