Responsible Gambling
Gambling is a great source of entertainment for millions of people around the world. But, for a minority, gambling can cause problems. We are committed to identifying risks as early as possible and intervening to prevent these problems before they emerge. We have in place a responsible gambling framework which includes controls to help customers to play within their limits and avoid a situation where gambling causes problems.
By observing the following rules, you will be able to relax and enjoy your gambling:
- Gambling is just for fun, not a way of earning money
- Only play when you are relaxed and concentrated
- Take regular breaks
- Keep track of your gambling. Consult the overview of your gaming transactions in your account.
- Decide your monthly gambling stake in advance. Only gamble what you can afford to lose
- Independently of our standard deposit limits, you may set a lower amount as your own personal limit
- Do not increase the maximum limit which you have decided for yourself later on
- Before you start playing, decide the winning amount at which you will end the game
- Decide beforehand how high your losses can be
- Never play under the influence of alcohol or medication
- Never play if you are feeling depressed

You can set deposit limits, wager limits and time limits. Once established, any decrease to these limits will be effective immediately and you will receive an instant text notification. Any increase to these limits will become effective only after the time period of the previous limit has expired.
