Responsible gambling tools at casinos
Reputable casinos offer tools to help you stay in control. These include:
- Deposit limits: Set a daily, weekly or monthly maximum deposit amount.
- Loss limits: Cap how much you can lose in a set period.
- Session time limits: Set a maximum session duration and receive alerts.
- Cooling-off periods: Temporarily suspend your account for a set period.
- Self-exclusion: Permanently or temporarily close your account. Ask the casino's support team to initiate this.
- Reality checks: Pop-up reminders showing how long you have been playing.
These tools are available in the responsible gambling or account settings section of each casino. We encourage you to set limits before you start playing.
