+Gambling should stay a form of entertainment, never a way to make money or escape a problem. LuckyThorne is operated by Thorne Media Ltd under a licence from the Malta Gaming Authority (licence MGA/XXX/XXXX). This page explains the checks we expect, the signs that gambling may be causing harm, and the practical steps you can take to stay in control. Read it before you play, and come back whenever your habits change.
+
+## Age verification
+
+You must be at least 18 to open an account or place any bet with an operator we review. This is not a formality: age verification protects people who are not legally or emotionally ready to gamble, and it is a licence condition under the Malta Gaming Authority.
+
+Expect to confirm your date of birth at sign-up and to complete identity checks (often called KYC) before your first withdrawal. Operators may ask for a government-issued photo ID, proof of address, or confirmation of a payment method. Accounts can be frozen or closed if the details do not match, so use accurate information from the start.
+
+If you share a device with someone under 18, treat your login details as private and consider parental-control or content-filtering software. Never let a minor gamble on your account, and never open an account on behalf of someone else.
+
+## Warning signs
+
+Gambling-related harm rarely arrives all at once. It builds through small habits that feel manageable until they are not. Be honest with yourself if any of the following sound familiar:
+
+- You gamble with money set aside for rent, bills, food, or debts.
+- You chase losses, betting more to win back what you have already lost.
+- You borrow money, sell possessions, or hide spending to keep playing.
+- Sessions run far longer than you planned, or you play to escape stress, boredom, or low mood.
+- You lie to family or friends about how much time or money you spend gambling.
+- You feel restless or irritable when you try to cut down or stop.
+- Gambling is affecting your sleep, work, studies, or relationships.
+
+These are not signs of weakness, and they are not rare. If several apply to you, or to someone close to you, it is worth taking them seriously now rather than waiting for things to get worse. Recognising a problem early makes it far easier to address.
+
+## Setting limits
+
+Deciding your limits before you play is one of the most effective things you can do. Set them when you are calm, not mid-session, and stick to them even on a good run.
+
+- **Money.** Decide in advance what you can genuinely afford to lose, and treat it as the cost of entertainment. Never gamble with money you need for essentials.
+- **Time.** Agree a session length before you start, and use a clock or a phone alarm so you do not lose track.
+- **Deposit and loss limits.** Licensed operators offer tools to cap how much you can deposit or lose over a day, week, or month. Set these low enough to matter.
+- **Session and reality checks.** Look for reminders that pop up after a set period so you can pause and reassess.
+
+Where an operator provides these tools, apply them in your account settings before you deposit. If a limit ever feels too easy to lift, that is a signal to lower it, not raise it. Chasing losses by increasing your limits tends to make things worse, not better.
+
+## Taking a break
+
+Sometimes limits are not enough, and stepping away is the healthier choice. Licensed operators must offer ways to do this, and using them is a sign of control, not failure.
+
+- **Cooling-off periods** let you lock yourself out for a short, fixed spell so you can reset.
+- **Self-exclusion** blocks access to your account for a longer period, often six months or more, and cannot usually be reversed on request during that time.
+- **Multi-operator exclusion schemes** can block access across many sites at once, depending on where you live. Check what is available in your jurisdiction: [PLACEHOLDER: national self-exclusion scheme for the relevant jurisdiction].
+
+While you are on a break, remove saved payment details, unsubscribe from gambling marketing, and consider blocking-software that prevents access to gambling sites. If you feel the urge to open a new account elsewhere during self-exclusion, treat that as a strong sign to seek support rather than a workaround.
+
+## A final word
+
+Gambling cannot fix money problems, and no strategy, system, or game can guarantee a win. If you are gambling to solve financial difficulties, please stop and seek advice; there are free, confidential services that can help with both the gambling and the money side.
+
+If you are worried about your own gambling or someone else's, free and confidential support is available from independent gambling-support and helpline services in your country: [PLACEHOLDER: national gambling-support helpline and website for the relevant jurisdiction]. Speaking to someone early can make a real difference.
+
+You can reach our team at hello@luckythorne.example for account-related questions, including help finding and applying the limit and self-exclusion tools above. We cannot provide clinical or counselling support, so for that please contact a qualified service.
+
+18+ only. Please gamble responsibly. T&Cs apply, verify on operator site.
