WE ENCOURAGE YOU TO PLAY RESPONSIBLY
Gambling is a form of entertainment, but it should be enjoyed responsibly. It´s not a way to earn a quick buck. You should always avoid chasing losses, never play with money that you can’t afford to lose, and never gamble for money that should go towards rent, bills or other expenses. You should check your activity regularly in the Balance page to keep on top of your money spent.
If you start to feel uncomfortable in any way due to your gambling, you should take a break from playing or even consider self-exclusion.
Risks and Impacts of Gambling and Gambling Addiction
For many people, gambling is harmless fun and a form of entertainment. However, playing for money bears the risk of gambling becoming problematic as a person becomes unable to control how much time and money, he/she spends on gambling. This type of compulsive behaviour is often called “problem gambling or gambling addiction.”
It can be difficult to determine whether a person’s gambling has become problematic though. One rule of thumb, nevertheless, is that there is a problem if the gambling has started to cause negative consequences on the life quality of the person.
Gambling Addiction:
Gambling addiction is diagnosis usually made by a doctor or psychologist. You can have gambling problems regardless of whether you have been diagnosed or not.
Below you can find a number of traits/behaviours associated with gambling that may indicate you are facing a gambling problem or gambling addiction:
- Constantly thinking of gambling.
- Needing to gamble for ever greater sums of money to achieve the desired feeling of excitement.
- Having failed several times to control, limit or stop gambling.
- Feeling restless or irritated at attempts to limit one’s gambling or as a result of stopping gambling.
- Gambling so as to avoid thinking about one’s problems or to seek relief from feeling low, including feelings of helplessness, guilt, anxiety, depression.
- Trying to win back money lost on gambling.
- Lying to relatives, therapists and other people to conceal the extent of one’s gambling.
- Having jeopardised or lost an important personal relationship, job, chance to study or career opportunity because of gambling.
- Relying on others organising the money to resolve a financial crisis which has arisen because of gambling.
Gambling addiction, gambling abuse or problems with gambling, whatever we call it, it is a public health problem which affects hundreds of thousands of people and their relatives. Gambling addiction can have serious implications on different aspects on someone’s life for example:

We use both automated and manual processes in order to verify the age of the customer registering the account and any player under the age of 18 who registers an account will have their account closed immediately.
Prevent Underage Gambling
We recommend that parents install filtering programs on their computer to block certain software and websites. This will allow you to control the programs your children view and use.
Our recommended filtering programs are: Cyber Patrol, GamBlock and Net Nanny.
We also advise taking the following precautions:
- Children should not be left unattended in front of a computer.
- When they reach the correct age, your children should be educated as to what gambling is and how it can affect them if it is not controlled.
- Due to the emotion that can be emitted whilst gambling, do not allow children to watch or hear you while you are playing any of our games.
- If any children have access to your computer, we recommend you do not use the check-box for remembering your password.
- Do not allow children to access your credit card or any other payment information.
- A different profile that only contains appropriate software and website access can be created on your computer for children. Parents playing our games can then use a different profile.
- Parents should educate themselves on the dangers of underage gambling and act accordingly.
