We support the principles and mechanisms of responsible gaming and strive to create a safe and controlled environment for all online casino users. Regardless of anything, gambling should remain purely entertainment, not a means of earning money or becoming rich.
Description of responsible gaming
Responsible gaming means an approach to gambling in which the player maintains full control over the gaming process and is aware of what is happening. This means that the player:
- Views gambling as entertainment, not as a source of income.
- Sets limits on their time and money spent on gambling in advance.
- Abstains from gambling when upset, tired, or under the influence of alcohol.
- Does not try to solve financial or personal problems through gambling.
Warning Signs of a Possible Gambling Problem
If you or someone you know notices these symptoms, be wary:
- Obsessive thoughts. Gambling takes up almost all of your attention.
- Isolation. Previous interests and hobbies no longer interest you.
- Financial risk. The player uses funds that are critical to life (paying bills, food) to gamble.
- Winning back. The gambler constantly tries to recoup losses, which only worsens the situation.
- Secrecy. The extent of the gambling is hidden from loved ones.
- Debt for the sake of gambling. The gambler is forced to borrow to continue betting.
Tips for Responsible Gambling
Follow these guidelines to keep your gambling under control:
- Set limits and restrictions on how much you can deposit, bet, and how long you can play.
- Budget and only spend on gambling what you are willing to part with.
- Stop after a loss: and resist the temptation to win it back immediately.
- Take breaks and break up long gaming sessions with regular breaks.
- Use the help features. Activate the self-monitoring tools built into the online casino service.
Self-Control Tools
Online casinos offer the following features to help you manage your gambling:
- Transaction and game history to analyze your behavior
- Limits on bets, gaming sessions, and deposits
- Temporary account bans for 24 hours or more
- Permanent self-exclusion and permanent account bans

Conclusion
Gambling is a pastime, not a source of income. We strongly advise everyone to play responsibly. If you begin to feel a loss of control, stop playing immediately and seek help. Your well-being and health should always come first.
