GAMING ADDICTION
Gambling is a socially acceptable form of recreational activity and, in many cases, classified as a harmless pastime. Nevertheless, as legalized gambling expands further, gambling-related problems pose a valid public health concern in susceptible individuals. The Company is committed to proactively identifying players who may be at risk of developing a gambling addiction or gambling-related disorders and to intervening promptly by offering support, activating player protection tools, and, where necessary, restricting or terminating access to the Company’s services.
The Company Responsible Gaming Policy framework serves as the foundation for identifying risky behavior through a proprietary internal system. The system flags clients who experience repeated losses, are facing possible financial or mental health risks or who sound distressed and/or act abusively when communicating with the Company staff. These individuals contacted by Customer Service to assess the situation and to discuss activating self-limitation and/or self- exclusion options.
Clients are regularly reminded about effective limit-setting tools such as spend limit, deposit limit, session time limit and given an option to personalize a limit-setting approach. Having a time-out to cool off temporarily anywhere from 1 day to 6 weeks is advisable to those who are predisposed to addictive behavior, experience changes in personal circumstances or exhibit signs of mental illness.

We encourage you to contact our Support Team via email or chat and let us know you would like to stop using our website and all services for a certain period of time and stop receiving marketing or promotional materials from the operator and its affiliates.
We encourage you to speak to a mental health professional at this point in order to gain control of your gambling habit or contact one of the problem gambling help centers, offering support and counselling such as Gambling Anonymous at www.gamblersanonymous.org.uk or Gambling Therapy at www.gamblingtherapy.org/
Being self-excluded means not being able to create a new gambling account with the Operator, wager or gamble on your pre-existing account and/or deposit funds.
