Responsible Gaming

At 2place.org, we believe that eSports betting should be an enjoyable, entertaining activity. Our founder, Lorcan Perkins, built this site with one clear principle: player welfare always comes first. This page exists because we genuinely care about every person who visits 2place.org, and we want to make sure that betting remains a positive experience for you.

If you ever feel that gambling is causing you stress, financial difficulty, or emotional harm, please read this page carefully. Help is always available, and reaching out is a sign of strength, not weakness.

Gambling Should Always Be a Choice, Not a Compulsion

Responsible gambling means betting only with money you can afford to lose, staying in control of how much time and money you spend, and never chasing losses. eSports betting, like all forms of gambling, carries real financial risk. We encourage every user of 2place.org to set personal limits before placing a single bet and to revisit those limits regularly.

Strict 18+ Policy

2place.org is intended exclusively for users aged 18 and over. All licensed betting operators we recommend in the GB market are required by UK Gambling Commission regulations to verify the age and identity of every customer. We strongly support these verification measures. If you suspect a minor has access to gambling content, please contact the relevant operator immediately and use parental control tools such as those available at Gamban or Net Nanny to restrict access.

Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can affect anyone, regardless of age, background, or experience. Below are common warning signs to watch for in yourself or someone you care about:

If any of these signs sound familiar, please take action today. The resources listed below can help.

Self-Assessment Checklist

Ask yourself the following questions honestly. If you answer yes to two or more, we strongly recommend speaking to a professional support service.

Practical Tools to Stay in Control

Deposit Limits

Every UK-licensed operator we recommend allows you to set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits directly in your account settings. Setting a deposit limit before you start betting is one of the most effective ways to stay within your budget. Limits take effect immediately and cannot be increased without a mandatory cooling-off period.

Reality Checks

Reality check notifications remind you how long you have been logged in and how much you have spent during a session. Enable these alerts in your account settings so that time does not slip away unnoticed during a long eSports event.

Cooling-Off Periods

If you feel you need a short break, you can request a cooling-off period of 24 hours, one week, or one month. During this time your account is temporarily suspended. We encourage all bettors to use this tool proactively, not just in moments of crisis.

Self-Exclusion

For longer or permanent breaks, GAMSTOP is the UK's national self-exclusion scheme. Registering at gamstop.co.uk will block you from all UK-licensed gambling sites for a minimum of six months. All operators listed on 2place.org are GAMSTOP-compliant. Self-exclusion is free, confidential, and one of the most powerful tools available to you.

Support Organisations and Crisis Helplines

You do not have to face this alone. The following organisations offer free, confidential support:
