In line with the UK Gambling Act and the Irish Betting Acts, you must be over 18 years of age to place a bet or register with Tote. It is a criminal offence for minors to participate in gambling activity.
All of our customers are comprehensively age verified to ensure that they are of legal age. If our electronic checks are unable to verify the age of the player, we will ask for further information to confirm the player is of legal age. Accounts may be suspended and funds withheld until satisfactory proof of age is provided.
However, we understand that the internet is readily accessible in many homes around the world and we must work with parents to protect children from underage gambling. To make sure your children do not have access to gaming sites, we recommend installing filtering software and there are a number of third-party applications available:
Net Nanny: General blocking software that protects children from inappropriate web content. It blocks apps, filters websites and allows parents to gain complete visibility over their child’s online activity. Also available on iOS and Android devices. Find out more at www.netnanny.com
CYBERsitter: Filtering software that allows parents to choose which sites are blocked on their home devices. Find out more at www.cybersitter.com
GamBlock: Specific blocking software for gambling websites. Also available on Android devices. Find out more at www.gamblock.com
Betfilter: Specific blocking software for gambling websites. Also available on Android devices. Find out more at www.betfilter.com

You may also want to familiarise yourself with the built-in parental controls on your mobile, tablet, PC or TV.
We also suggest the following tips for parents:
Do not leave children unattended with your device if you are using our products.
Keep your username, password and deposit method details out of the reach of children.
Always use a strong password on your gambling accounts.
Do not permit anyone under 18 to participate in any gambling activity.
Educate your children about the legality and the potential damage of underage gambling.
Limit the length of time your children spend online.
Take particular care if your child has access to a mobile or tablet device.
Unfortunately, no system is fool proof. If you suspect that someone under the age of 18 is gambling with Tote, please contact us to report this.
In accordance with our Terms and Conditions, if any of our customers are found to be under the age of 18-years old, the account will be suspended immediately, any unsettled bets will be made void and any winnings forfeited. Other legal ramifications may also apply.
