Nobody stakes money in this hall. Habits can still form, so this is how we deal with them.
If gambling is hurting you today, ring the National Gambling Helpline free on 0808 8020 133, day or night, or talk online with GamCare.
Social casino games borrow the look, the sound and the pace of real gambling. Covered Market Row is intended only for adults over the legal gambling age and is not aimed at anyone under 18. Your age is checked twice: first on the banner that meets you, then again with a tick you must make when you create your account.
A free game can be set up to feel generous, and it tops up your till at no cost. Real-money games do neither of those things. Doing well here tells you nothing about how you would get on with money at stake.

Covered Market Row admits adults of 18 and over only. Each game runs on virtual coins with no monetary value, and those coins cannot be bought, sold, withdrawn or exchanged. You will find no coin counter and no payment page under this roof, no prize of real-world value is on offer, and doing well here does not imply future success at real-money gambling.
