Always Make Sure You Are In Control
Always remember, playing is just a form of entertainment, and gambling should be just for fun. That's why strictly following the rules of responsible gaming will save you many future drawbacks and risks coming from problem gambling. If you feel your daily life is being extremely absorbed and influenced by casino games, make sure to seek professional advice immediately. For other cases, just follow the primary ten rules below to prevent unpleasant outcomes.
- Play online casinos only for entertainment purposes. Then, when you feel like gambling is no longer a fun but rather stressful activity for you, ask yourself why you are still playing.
- Regard the money you lose as entertainment costs and the wins as rewards.
- Set a deposit limit for yourself and follow it. It will help you avoid huge losses and control the gambling process.
- Set a time limit. Before immersing in the play, determine how much time you want to spend on gaming. When you reach your set limit, stop gambling.
- When you start playing, always consider the option of losing. You won't always win; there can be losses as well. Just know that losing is as normal as winning.
- Never play on credit and never borrow money from others just for gambling.
- Balance your lifestyle. Don't allow gambling to interfere with your regular daily life or take most of your time.
- Don't chase after your lost funds. It will result in more serious losses and become the root of the addiction.
- Don't treat playing casino games as a way to escape from your emotions and real life.
- Be aware of problem gambling signs. The more you know about the alarming signs, the more responsible you will be.
Also, don't forget to share these responsible gambling rules with your friends and relatives who also like playing online casinos. Awareness is the most optimal way of avoiding serious issues and addiction problems.

After answering all these questions, carefully review them. Every positive answer to the above questions can be a red card alarming the signs of problem gambling. Seriously consider receiving professional help and quitting gambling.
Self Prohibition
For users who want to set limits on their gambling, we provide a self-exclusion service, which enables you to close your gambling account or restrict your gaming activities for one of the following periods: one year, six months, or one month. After your gambling account has been self-excluded, it will remain closed until the chosen period has ended. Once this period has elapsed, you can resume using all services on our website.
You also can request the removal of restrictions from your account even before the self-exclusion period has finished; however, the final decision belongs to the Company.
If you want to take a break and suspend your account for a while, send us an email at [email protected] from the same email address you used for registering an account. Enter " Voluntary Blocking" in the subject line, and fill in " I request you to block my account" in the text section. Once we receive your email, your account will be closed within one day.

Internet Access Restrictions
Currently, different software apps allow you to block or limit access to a group of particular websites. This software can be a great help for parents to prevent their children from accessing online casinos and gambling sites. In addition, most people share their computers or other devices with family and friends, so in order to prevent a person under the age of 18 from trying to register or bet at gambling sites, you can activate parental filtering. CyberPatrol and Net Nanny are parental filtering solutions you can try.
It's important to note that if anyone under the legal age uses the site will have all wins forfeited, and their account information will be passed to the authorities.
