Gambling as Entertainment
Gambling should be a form of entertainment, not a way to earn money or solve financial difficulties. Never wager more than you can afford to lose. Set limits before you start and treat losses as the cost of the experience.
Age Verification
You must be at least 18 years of age, or the local legal age for gambling in your part of СФ, whichever is higher. Age verification checks are in place to prevent underage access. If you share your device with minors, use parental controls and keep your login credentials secure.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually. Consider whether any of the following apply to you or someone you care about:
- Chasing losses by continuing to gamble to win back money
- Hiding gambling activity from family or friends
- Gambling with money needed for bills, rent, or essentials
- Lying about time or money spent gambling
- Feeling restless or irritable when trying to cut down
- Borrowing money or selling possessions to gamble
- Neglecting work, studies, or relationships because of gambling
Recognizing these signs early is an important step toward getting help.
Self-Help Tools
Most reputable gambling platforms offer tools to help you stay in control:
- Deposit limits: cap the amount you can add to your account over a set period.
- Loss limits: set a maximum amount you are willing to lose in a day, week, or month.
- Reality checks: receive timed reminders about how long you have been playing.
- Self-exclusion: block access to your account for a chosen period, from a few days to permanent.
- Time-out periods: take a short break from gambling for 24 hours to several weeks.
Use these tools proactively, even if you do not currently feel at risk.
