To support this mission, we proactively promote our Responsible Gaming tools to our customers for an enhanced safe and secure gaming environment. We are devoted to offering our customers a 100% carefree, enjoyable and safe experience.

Play for fun, keep it a game

Fun is the keyword here, and placing a bet for entertainment that you can afford is the only way to it; placing a bet too many times to break even, make money or any other motive than just leisure or fun is definitely not.

To know yourself, is to know when to stop

If you are feeling unsure whether you are at risk of developing an addiction or if you are concerned about playing too much, use our anonymous self-test to get some safe play advice based on your answers and your playing behavior

Keep your play in control with our RG tools here

Always choose to use a limit that works best with your gambling habits; you can test out the RG tools here by yourself or make use of our free RG tool consultation by our expert customer support agents

Keep an eye on the time spent

Time flies when you are having fun! And that is great, just make sure that you decide upfront how much time you are comfortable spending on our site per session so to make sure that you use our services as intended, for fun! Never spend your precious time on gambling when your agenda does not permit you to or when you find it would affect your work, relationships, mental or physical health, or family bonds.

Keeping an eye on money spent

Decide upfront how much money you are willing to spend on a maximum and how much you can afford to lose. Make a budget and stick to it. Make use of our RG tools to set a limit or contact our expert customer support agents for a free consultation.

Stay social

Gamble for fun and meet your friends or family no less than you would if you were not gambling. We surely do try our best to take good care of you, but no one knows you like your own loved ones. Do not alienate yourself from them for the sake of gambling.

Do not play while intoxicated

Gambling is to be practiced with calm and controlled decisions and any intoxication will decrease your ability to make reasonable ones. Use our RG tools to make sure that you can take a break before taking part in any intoxicating activity, to avoid uncontrolled losses.

Play responsibly and make sure that you understand what that means

If you think that you have a strategy that helps you win, think twice, as gambling is intended to be used as a pastime activity...and that’s about it. Feeling lucky? Or won something? That is great! But don’t quit your job just yet, gambling involves winning and losing, so make sure to keep it a game!
