Responsible Gambling Tips

For many people gambling is exciting and entertaining. They make careful decisions about how to spend their time and money, where to go and how to have fun.

Here is how you can control your gambling:

Decide on a loss limit ahead of time and stick to it
Low-risk gambling is a way of playing with very little chance of losing control. The key to low-risk gambling is to realize that "it's only a game"
Never borrow money to gamble
Set a time limit
Take frequent breaks
Balance gambling with other activities
Don't gamble when highly stressed, depressed, intoxicated or troubled in some other way
Only gamble with money set aside for entertainment, never with money for everyday expenses
If you wish to set a limit or take a break simply contact our customer service.

You can realize you have a problem:

If you are leaving your family alone for long periods of time, in order to gamble
If you arguing frequently with your partner about spending too much time and money on gambling and find that you cannot stop or limit yourself
If you are gambling family money needed for rent/mortgage, schooling, medical purposes, groceries, clothes, or heat
If you feel you have to gamble to get to spend time with people you understand
When you are with your family, at work or at social events, you find that your are constantly thinking about your next bet
If you look at gambling as a way of making money fast.

If your answer to any of the above is “YES” then we suggest that you take action immediately BEFORE it becomes a worse problem. There are many organizations that may help you to control your problem.

Set Limits, Account Closure and Self-Exclusion

Most of our customers enjoy gambling without any negative issues or problems, but we do recognise that for a minority it can become an issue. That is why we offer customers the ability to set limits, restrict their gambling or close their accounts.

If you want to set limits, close or self - exclude your account, please contact our competent customer support, who will help you completing the process.

HotSlots offers self - exclusion. If a self-excluded player wishes to shorten or end their exclusion before the self - exclusion elapses, the 24 hours cooling off period will be applied. If a player wishes to extend an exclusion, it will be implemented immediately.

For more information contact our Customer Support team.

Protection of Minors

With the Internet so readily accessible in homes around the world, responsible online gambling relies heavily on responsible parenting. In order to ensure child safety on the Net, The Casino encourages its Players to make use of filtering software to prevent minors from accessing inappropriate online material. Underage gambling is not only illegal, but can also result in gambling dependencies and huge gambling debts incurred by unsupervised children.

Tips for Parents:

Do not leave your computer unattended when your casino software is running.
Password-protect your Casino program.
Do not allow persons under 18 to participate in any gambling activity.
Keep your Casino/Poker Room account number and credit card(s) out of the reach of children.
Do not save passwords onto your computer. Write them down instead.
Limit the amount of time your children spend online and make use of software to prevent your children from accessing inappropriate material.

There are a number of third party applications available that parents or guardians can use to monitor or restrict the use of their computer's access to the Internet. These include:

Net Nanny filtering software protects children from inappropriate web content: www.netnanny.com
CYBERsitter filtering software allowing parents to add their own sites to block: www.cybersitter.com
