Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Fun, Not a Financial Solution
At Kokoshka, we're committed to promoting responsible gaming. Bingo and online gaming should be enjoyed as entertainment only. It is never a reliable way to earn money or solve financial problems. Always play within your means and remember that the house always has a mathematical advantage.
Age Verification
Online gaming in the UK is strictly reserved for individuals aged 18 years or older. We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of identity and age at any time. If you are under 18, please do not attempt to access gaming services on this site.
Parents and guardians can help protect young people by:
- Discussing the risks of gambling
- Using parental controls on devices
- Monitoring online activity
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognise any of these signs in yourself or someone else, it may indicate problem gambling:

- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- Hiding gambling activity from family, friends, or professionals
- Gambling to escape stress, anxiety, or depression
- Feeling anxious or irritable when unable to play
- Borrowing money to fund gambling
- Neglecting work, education, or personal relationships
- Lying about the amount of time or money spent gaming
- Failed attempts to reduce or stop gambling
- Using gaming as a way to solve financial problems
Self-Help Tools & Player Protection
Kokoshka and our partner operators provide tools to help you maintain control:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specified period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Set a limit on the amount you're willing to lose
- Reality Checks: Receive regular reminders about how long you've been playing and how much you've spent
- Time-Out: Temporarily suspend your account for a period you choose (hours, days, or weeks)

Always use these tools proactively. They are there to support your responsible gaming choices.
