Responsible Gaming

What is responsible gaming

Responsible gaming means betting in a controlled manner, within your economic possibilities and without negatively affecting your personal, family or professional life.

It is important to remember that gambling should be a form of entertainment, not a way to make money or solve financial problems.

Casino games always favor the house, and losses are a natural part of the gaming experience.

Warning signs of problem gambling

It is important to recognize when gambling becomes a problem. Some warning signs include:

Emotional and behavioral signs

Lying about time or money spent on games, feeling anxious or depressed when you can't play, betting money you can't afford to lose, or trying to recover losses with bigger bets.

Impact on daily life

Neglecting family, work or academic responsibilities due to gambling, frequently borrowing money, or experiencing problems in personal relationships due to gambling.

Tips for responsible gaming

Set time and money limits before you start playing, never chase losses, play only when you are in a good emotional state, and take regular breaks.

Self-control tools

Many casinos offer tools such as deposit limits, session time limits, self-exclusion periods and playing time reminders.
