Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
Online gaming should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. If you find yourself gambling to make money or recover losses, it's time to reassess your gaming habits and seek support.
Please gamble responsibly and within your means. Set limits, stick to them, and remember that the house always has an edge.
Age Verification
Online gaming is strictly for adults aged 18 years and over (or the legal age in your jurisdiction). It is illegal for minors to participate in gambling activities. By accessing gaming services, you confirm that you are of legal age and comply with all applicable laws in your region.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Do you recognise any of these warning signs? If so, seek help immediately:
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- Hiding gambling activities from family, friends, or partners
- Gambling with money needed for essentials (rent, food, bills)
- Feeling anxious or irritable when not gambling
- Spending more time and money on gambling than intended
- Neglecting work, study, or relationships due to gambling
- Lying about the extent of your gambling
- Borrowing money to gamble or pay gambling debts
- Experiencing mood swings or depression related to gambling
- Failed attempts to cut back or stop gambling
Self-Help Tools and Responsible Gaming Features
Most reputable online gaming operators offer tools to help you stay in control:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Cap the amount you are willing to lose during a gaming session
- Reality Checks: Receive reminders about how long you have been playing and how much you have wagered
- Self-Exclusion: Voluntarily exclude yourself from gaming platforms for a set period or permanently
