Responsible Gaming

We are committed to promoting responsible gaming and ensuring a safe, enjoyable, and controlled betting environment for all our players. We recognize the potential risks associated with gambling addiction and take proactive steps to safeguard our users from excessive gambling tendencies. Our primary objective is to provide an entertaining and secure platform while preventing minors from engaging in gambling activities.

A. Maintaining Control While Gambling

Gambling should be viewed as a recreational activity and a fun way to engage with your favorite sports and connect with like-minded individuals. However, responsible gaming requires awareness and discipline. To ensure a balanced gaming experience, every player should keep in mind the following principles:

  • Gambling is a form of entertainment, not a way to make money.
  • Losing is part of the game - do not chase losses in an attempt to recover them immediately.
  • Only bet with funds you can afford to lose and set clear financial boundaries.
  • Monitor your gaming habits, including the time and money spent on betting.

B. Preventing Gambling Addiction

While most players engage in gambling responsibly, a small percentage may develop compulsive gambling habits. Research indicates that only a minor fraction of adults experience gambling addiction, yet we take this matter seriously. We encourage all users to remain mindful of the following:

  • Gambling outcomes are based on probability - there are no guaranteed winning strategies.
  • Your desire to gamble should stem from personal enjoyment, not financial desperation.
  • Betting is not a means to escape personal problems or settle debts.
  • Always set a budget and never exceed your financial limits.
  • Understand the game rules before participating.

C. Identifying Gambling Addiction

It can be challenging to differentiate between a harmless passion for gaming and a developing gambling addiction. Self-assessement is a great tool to monitor your gambling habits. If you find yourself answering "yes" to five or more of the following questions, you may need to reconsider your gambling habits:

  • Do you feel a strong compulsion to gamble frequently?
  • Have your betting amounts consistently increased over time?
  • Do you borrow money for gambling?
  • Do you often play longer than initially planned?
  • Has gambling negatively affected your reputation or relationships?
  • Do you feel irritated or restless when unable to gamble?
  • Do you use gambling as an escape from stress or problems?
  • Do you frequently try to recover losses by betting more?
  • Have you unsuccessfully attempted to control your gambling time or expenses?
  • Do you hide your gambling activities from family or friends?

D. Tips for Controlling Your Gambling Habits

To maintain a healthy relationship with gambling, consider these best practices:

  • Set a predetermined time limit for gambling and stick to it.
  • Establish a maximum budget for losses and never exceed it.
  • Never borrow money to fund gambling activities.
  • Balance gambling with other hobbies and recreational activities.
  • Avoid gambling when feeling distressed, anxious, or emotionally unstable.

E. Self-Exclusion

Self-Exclusion offers a way for players to pause their gambling activities for 1, 3, 5, or 10 years, with no possibility of reversing the decision until the chosen period ends. Alternatively, you can request to permanently close your account with no option to reopen it. This option is designed to minimize harmful gambling behavior while providing access to support resources.

Should you wish to self-exclude, please use the available form for self-exclusion requests at account settings to choose activation of self-exclusion from all gaming activities. Any such request will take effect immediately and you will be able to use services again only after the expiration of the set period and your written confirmation to unblock your account.

Once your request is submitted, the exclusion will take effect immediately. During the self-exclusion period, you may only withdraw funds that were in your account before the exclusion. Access to other domains under our license will also be restricted. We recommend extending the self-exclusion to other gambling platforms to maintain full control and reduce potential risks.
