Responsible Gaming

Our Commitment to Safe Gambling

At Dawlish Arts Festival, we believe that gambling should be enjoyed as entertainment only, never as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. We are committed to promoting responsible gaming practices and supporting those who may be struggling with gambling-related issues.

Age Verification

In the United Kingdom, you must be 18 years of age or older to participate in any form of gambling or betting activities. We strictly enforce age verification on all betting platforms we recommend. It is illegal for anyone under 18 to gamble in the UK.

If you are under 18, please do not attempt to access betting services. If you are aware of underage gambling, please report it to the relevant authorities.
