Responsible gambling
If you're concerned about your gaming habits or feel that you've developed unhealthy behaviors, it's essential to take proactive steps towards responsible gaming.
Self-Assessment:
Before seeking help, try to evaluate your gaming habits honestly:
- Do you spend more time and money on gaming than intended?
- Do you feel anxious or irritable when unable to gamble?
- Have you tried to cut down or control your gaming but been unsuccessful?
If you've answered 'yes' to any of these questions, it may be a sign that you need support.
Available Tools:
- Deposit Limits: Set limits on the amount you can deposit into your account in a single day/week/month.
- Time-Outs: Temporarily or permanently lock your account for 24 hours, 48 hours, or 7 days to give yourself time away from gaming.
- Self-Exclusion: Permanently exclude yourself from the site for 6 months to 5 years. This irreversible action will block access to your account and marketing emails during this period.
- Safe Mate Tool: Track your betting history, deposits, withdrawals, profit/loss with early-warning system for at-risk behavior.
