Our Commitment to Responsible Gambling

Recognizing Problem Gambling (Warning Signs)
It’s important to be aware of the signs of problem gambling. Here are some warning signs to look out for:
- Gambling with money you cannot afford to lose.
- Feeling anxious or irritable when trying to cut down on gambling.
- Neglecting responsibilities or relationships due to gambling.
- Chasing losses by gambling more.
- Using gambling as a way to escape from stress or emotional issues.
Self-Assessment Tools/Questions
To help you evaluate your gambling habits, consider the following questions:
- Do you often gamble longer than you intended?
- Do you feel the need to gamble with increasing amounts of money?
- Have you ever lied to hide how much you gamble?
- Do you feel guilty about your gambling habits?
- Have you ever borrowed money to gamble?
Setting Personal Limits
We encourage our players to set personal limits on:
- Deposit Limits: Control how much money you deposit into your account.
- Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you are willing to lose.
- Time Limits: Decide how much time you want to spend gambling.
- Wager Limits: Limit the amount you wager on games.
Self-Exclusion Options and Cooling-Off Periods
If you feel that you need a break from gambling, we offer self-exclusion options. You can choose to exclude yourself from playing for a specific period or permanently. Additionally, we provide cooling-off periods to help you take a step back and reassess your gambling habits.
Reality Checks and Session Reminders
To help you stay in control, we provide reality checks and session reminders. These notifications will remind you of how long you have been playing and how much you have wagered, allowing you to make informed decisions about your gambling.
