Responsible gaming

Gambling can be addictive. This section is about keeping it from getting that far.

Responsible gaming

Playing is spending, not earning

The maths of any slot is built so that over the long run a player gives back more than they get: at a 96% return, every hundred units staked come back as 96 on average. The simulator on this site exists precisely so that this is something you can see rather than something you are told.

Signs it is time to stop

Playing with money you cannot afford to lose. Chasing losses. Borrowing in order to play. Hiding your play from people close to you. Irritation when you try to break off. Any one of these is a reason to take a break rather than to raise the stake.

Self-limitation tools

Licensed operators are required to offer deposit limits, time limits, a cooling-off period and self-exclusion. These tools only work if you switch them on in advance, before an emotional decision rather than during one.

Where to get help

If playing has stopped being entertainment, speak to an addiction specialist or to a player support group in your country. A conversation with someone close to you is a workable first step too.

Age

The material on this site is intended for people over 18. Demo mode runs on virtual money, but real-money play is not allowed for minors.
