At Lizandmikesgarden, we are passionate about eSports betting and want every person who visits our site to enjoy it safely. Drew Hepburn founded this platform with a clear principle: entertainment should never come at a personal cost. We believe that responsible gaming is not a box to tick — it is a genuine commitment that shapes everything we publish and recommend. If you ever feel that betting is causing you stress, financial difficulty, or emotional harm, please use the resources and tools on this page immediately.
This page is for anyone who bets on eSports, or any other sport, and wants to keep that activity fun, controlled, and sustainable. It is also for friends and family members who are worried about someone close to them. You do not need to be in crisis to find this information useful — understanding the risks early is one of the smartest things any bettor can do.
Lizandmikesgarden operates exclusively for adults. You must be 18 years of age or older to place bets in Great Britain. Every licensed operator we review is legally required to verify your age before allowing you to deposit or wager. If you are under 18, please leave any gambling site immediately. If you are a parent or guardian, we strongly encourage you to use parental control software such as Gamban, Betfilter, or Net Nanny to prevent underage access to gambling websites.
Problem gambling can develop gradually and is not always easy to recognise in yourself. The following signs may indicate that gambling has moved from entertainment to a harmful habit:
Experiencing even one or two of these signs is enough reason to seek support. There is no shame in asking for help.
Answer these questions honestly to check in with yourself about your gambling habits:
If you answered yes to any of these questions, we encourage you to speak to a professional. The organisations listed below offer free, confidential support.
Every UK-licensed betting site allows you to set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits. This is one of the most effective ways to keep your spending within a budget you are comfortable with. You can usually set these limits in your account settings. Reductions take effect immediately; increases are subject to a mandatory waiting period.
Reality check notifications remind you how long you have been logged in and how much you have spent during a session. Enabling these alerts gives you a regular pause to decide whether you want to continue or stop.
If you feel you need a short break, a cooling-off period lets you temporarily suspend your account for a set number of days or weeks. You cannot place bets during this time, giving you space to reflect without permanently closing your account.
GAMSTOP is the free national self-exclusion scheme for Great Britain. Registering at gamstop.co.uk will block you from all UK-licensed gambling websites for a minimum of six months, one year, or five years. This is a powerful tool if you feel you cannot control your gambling on your own. Individual operators also offer their own self-exclusion options directly through your account.
You are never alone. These organisations provide free, confidential, and non-judgmental support:
eSports betting should be an enjoyable part of your leisure time — nothing more. We at Lizandmikesgarden, led by Drew Hepburn, will always put your wellbeing above clicks, revenue, or rankings. If something on our site ever makes you feel pressured or uncomfortable, please contact us. Your safety matters more than any bet.
