Our Commitment to Player Safety

At our casino, responsible gaming is not just a policy—it's our fundamental commitment to every player. We understand that gaming should be an enjoyable form of entertainment, never a source of financial or personal distress.

We have implemented comprehensive measures and tools to help you maintain control over your gaming activities and ensure your experience remains positive and within your personal limits.

Self-Assessment Tools

Recognize the Signs

It's important to regularly assess your gaming habits. Ask yourself these questions:

  • Do you spend more time or money gaming than you originally intended?
  • Have you tried to cut back on gaming but found it difficult?
  • Do you feel anxious or irritable when not gaming?
  • Has gaming affected your relationships, work, or financial situation?
  • Do you game to escape problems or relieve stress?

If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, it may be time to reassess your gaming habits and consider using our responsible gaming tools.

Player Protection Tools

Deposit Limits

Set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits to control how much money you can add to your account. These limits help you stay within your budget and prevent impulsive decisions.

Time Limits

Manage your gaming time by setting session duration limits. You'll receive notifications when approaching your set time limit, helping you maintain a healthy balance.

Loss Limits

Establish maximum loss amounts for specific time periods. Once reached, you'll be unable to continue playing until the period resets, protecting you from significant losses.

Reality Check

Receive regular pop-up reminders showing how long you've been playing and how much you've spent, helping you stay aware of your gaming activity.

Self-Exclusion

If you need a break from gaming, you can temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from our platform. This prevents access to your account for your chosen period.

Setting Personal Limits

Financial Boundaries

Before you start playing, decide how much money you can afford to lose without affecting your essential expenses like rent, food, and bills. Never chase losses with money you cannot afford to lose.

Time Management

Set specific time limits for your gaming sessions and stick to them. Gaming should not interfere with your work, relationships, or other important activities.

Emotional Awareness

Avoid gaming when you're upset, stressed, or under the influence of alcohol or drugs. These states can impair your judgment and lead to poor decisions.
