Responsible Gaming

Although most of our players view online gambling as a recreational hobby, we understand that it can lead some to compulsive behaviour. With this in mind, our responsible gaming section includes several measures to help players manage their sessions. We’ll briefly explain the features available and offer recommendations for analyzing your gambling actions.

What Responsible Gaming Features Do We Offer?

For the most severe cases of gambling addiction, more drastic measures are required, and our platform offers such options:

• The cooling-off option lets you pause your betting activities for up to six months.
• Self-exclusion is an even more critical option as it can prevent your gambling for up to one year.
• Account blocking is also available to players wishing to end gambling activities permanently.

For those who want to establish specific limits for their in-game actions, the following features are available:

• Set a maximum level for your stakes.
• Define how long you want your sessions to last and stop playing automatically.
• Opt out of bonus promotions by activating the relevant switch.
• Set boundaries for your daily or weekly deposits.
• Choose an amount you’re ready to lose, and your bankroll will not drop below this set limit.

What Additional Help Do We Recommend?

If you find that a self-managed approach to gambling addiction is not working for you, consider reaching out to professional organizations. They work to make the industry safer for everyone involved and offer valuable advice:

• The Responsible Gambling Council (RGC) (https://www.responsiblegambling.org) has been the leading regulatory body in the Canadian gambling market for the past 40 years. This non-profit organization provides players with various communication channels to address compulsive behaviour. These include Gambling Therapy and GamTalk, which are recognized volunteer helplines.
• GamCare (https://www.gamcare.org.uk) is a primary source of emotional support for our most affected players. It operates through live chat and phone communications and offers personal meetings with verified representatives.
• Gam-Anon (https://www.gam-anon.org) is another useful option to get information on the consequences of problem gambling. It even supports those whose loved ones have been affected by this obsession. Gam-Anon also provides a program with steps to achieve emotional recovery.

How to Tell if Gambling Has Become an Addiction?

These signs may indicate that you are gradually becoming a compulsive gambler who is losing control over your decisions. Consider them to recognize the problem early:

• You often think about gambling even when your current activity has nothing to do with it.
• You play longer than initially planned.
• Gambling sessions overshadow your social responsibilities.
• You turn to gambling as a way to avoid dealing with personal problems.
• You lie to your loved ones about how much money you have spent on gaming sessions.
• You borrow money or use credit to finance your obsession.
• You continue to play even when you know it will have severe consequences for you and your family.

Prevent Gambling Issues from Becoming Worse

These rules are fundamental for anyone wanting to address compulsive gambling behaviour as early as possible:

• Consider meditation to alleviate stress instead of resorting to gambling and trying to recover losses.
• Consult with professionals specializing in mental health.
• Use our responsible gaming features to manage your actions better.
• Set a specific budget for your gambling activities, approximately 5% of your disposable income.
• Educate yourself about the games you prefer to understand your chances of winning.
• Diversify your leisure time with new hobbies to avoid focusing exclusively on gambling when you’re not working.
• Share your compulsive in-game decisions with your loved ones to motivate yourself towards more responsible behaviour.
