Online gambling can be entertainment, but it also involves risk. This page contains information about responsible gambling principles, tools available on casino platforms and organisations that offer help to people experiencing gambling-related problems.
The website is intended only for adults aged 18 and over. If you are unsure whether your gambling remains under control, please read the information below.
What responsible gambling means
Responsible gambling means treating gambling as a form of entertainment, not as a source of income. A responsible player:
- Sets a gambling budget and does not exceed it
- Treats possible losses as the cost of entertainment and does not chase losses
- Plays for enjoyment, not out of compulsion or to escape problems
- Does not borrow money to gamble
- Takes regular breaks and does not spend time on gambling that should be used for other responsibilities
- Does not gamble under the influence of alcohol or psychoactive substances
Warning signs
The following behaviours may indicate a developing gambling problem:
- Spending more on gambling than originally planned
- Chasing losses and continuing to play despite a losing streak
- Hiding gambling activity from loved ones
- Taking on debt or borrowing money to fund gambling
- Neglecting work, family or other duties because of time spent gambling
- Feeling anxious or irritated when trying to reduce or stop gambling
- Thinking about gambling for a significant part of the day
If you recognise several of these behaviours in yourself, it is worth contacting a specialist or using available support resources.
Self-help tools available at online casinos
Licensed online casinos offer a range of tools that help keep play under control. Check which options are available on the platform you use:
- Deposit limits: daily, weekly or monthly maximum deposit amounts
- Loss limits: a maximum amount that can be lost within a selected period
- Session time limits: a maximum duration for one gambling session
- Cool-off periods: temporary account suspension for a selected period, such as 24 hours, one week or one month
- Self-exclusion: long-term or permanent account blocking at the players request
- Reality checks: reminders about the time spent gambling
These tools are usually available in account settings or the casino help centre. They are free to use and voluntary.
Self-exclusion
Self-exclusion is a voluntary decision to block access to your casino account for a defined period or permanently. Online casinos covered by responsible gambling programmes are expected to honour such requests without delay.
Players can usually request self-exclusion directly on the platform they use, through the help centre or account panel. Self-exclusion means the casino should stop sending marketing materials and block access to games for the duration of the exclusion.
Protection of minors
The website is intended only for adults. Online casinos covered by responsible gambling rules apply age verification during registration. If minors are present in the household, we recommend:
- Using parental control software that blocks gambling websites
- Not leaving a logged-in casino account unattended
- Not sharing login details with third parties
Examples of parental control software that can be configured to block gambling content include Net Nanny, Kaspersky Safe Kids and Qustodio.
Where to seek help
If you or someone close to you is experiencing gambling-related harm, support organisations can provide confidential help. Depending on your country, available resources may include national gambling helplines, addiction treatment centres, Gamblers Anonymous groups and mental health crisis lines.
Help is confidential, and in many cases free of charge. Seeking support early can significantly improve the chance of regaining control.
