Responsible Gaming
Gambling should always be treated as a form of entertainment, not a way to earn money or solve financial difficulties. Never chase losses or gamble more than you can afford to lose. Stay in control and play responsibly.
Age Verification
You must be at least 18 years old (or the legal age for gambling in your jurisdiction, whichever is higher) to gamble. Underage gambling is a serious offence and can lead to long-term harm. We encourage all players to verify their age and set clear boundaries before playing.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
- Chasing losses by gambling more to win back money
- Hiding gambling activity from friends or family
- Spending more money or time on gambling than intended
- Gambling to escape stress, anxiety, or depression
- Feeling guilty, ashamed, or anxious after gambling
- Borrowing money or selling possessions to gamble
- Neglecting work, studies, or family responsibilities
- Lying about how much time or money is spent gambling
- Experiencing relationship problems because of gambling
- Being unable to stop or cut back despite wanting to
Self-Help Tools
Most reputable online casinos offer a range of responsible gambling tools. These may include:
- Deposit limits – set daily, weekly, or monthly caps on how much you can deposit
- Loss limits – control the maximum amount you can lose over a period
- Reality checks – on-screen reminders of how long you have been playing
- Session time limits – restrict the duration of each gambling session
- Cooling-off periods – take a short break from the casino
- Self-exclusion – block yourself from the casino for a set period or permanently
Note for UK players: GamStop is a free, UK-wide self-exclusion scheme for UK-licensed gambling sites. However, many Curacao-licensed casinos are not part of GamStop. If you play at such sites, you must use the casino's own self-exclusion and limit tools, and contact a support organisation if needed.
