Responsible Gambling
A clear framework, limits you choose yourself, and free confidential help a click away.

What a stake actually buys
A stake does not buy a lasting chance of profit, it buys playing time. Over any distance the house edge asserts itself: the longer the session, the closer the result converges on that percentage.
The practical consequence is simple. A single win does not change the arithmetic, and staking it again immediately feeds it back into the same loop. Withdrawing part of a win is the only way to keep it.
Six control tools
| Tool | What it does | Takes effect |
|---|---|---|
| Deposit cap | Limits funds added over a period | Down instantly, up after 24 hours |
| Stake cap | Limits the amount staked per round | Instantly |
| Loss cap | Ends the session at a net-loss threshold | Instantly |
| Hourly reminder | Shows elapsed time and net result | Instantly |
| Time-out | Freezes the account for 24 hours to 30 days | Instantly, cannot be cancelled |
| Self-exclusion | Closes the account from 6 months | Instantly, no reopening |
The 24-hour delay on raising a cap is deliberate: it neutralises decisions taken in the middle of a losing run.
When a break is the right call
Certain behaviours are reliable markers: repeatedly playing longer than planned, raising stakes to recover the same intensity, returning immediately after a loss, borrowing to deposit, or misrepresenting how long you played.
If you recognise at least two, set a 30-day time-out. It is not an admission of defeat, it is a test — how hard the time-out is to keep is the single most useful piece of information you will get.
Exactly what self-exclusion does
On confirmation, sign-in is blocked, deposits are refused and marketing communication stops. Live bonuses and their balances are forfeited. The real available balance remains withdrawable after verification under our terms and conditions.
The minimum term is six months. No channel — support, chat or email — can reopen the account before it expires.

If someone close to you is affected
Do not use debt as leverage — clearing it on someone’s behalf usually extends the cycle. Talk about time and secrecy rather than sums, offer to call a helpline together, and remember that family members can get free support in their own right.
Protecting under-18s
Access is limited to adults. On a shared device, disable saved credentials and switch on a parental filter such as Qustodio or Net Nanny. Any registration by a minor that we detect results in account closure and cancellation of winnings.
