What is responsible play: basic principles
1. Introduction
Responsible gambling is a mindful approach to gambling in which the player controls betting, time and emotional state, minimizing the risk of financial and psychological consequences.
2. Set financial limits
Deposit limit: Define the maximum amount allowed per day/week/month and turn off automatic replenishment.
Spin rate: no more than 1-2% of the total bankroll.
Losses: decide in advance how much of the budget you are ready to lose, and immediately stop the game when it is reached.
3. Time control
Session limit: 30-45 minutes at a time, then a mandatory break for at least an hour.
Timers and reminders: Use built-in casino tools or apps to limit playing time.
Leisure balance: alternate rates with other activities - walks, sports, communication.
4. Understanding chances and mechanics
RTP and Volatility - Examine Return to Player (≥ 90%) and variance.
There is no "guaranteed win strategy": excitement is a game of chance; always prepare to lose.
Demo mode: Try the game for free first to assess the mechanics and "character" of the slot without risk.
5. Self-exclusion and self-restraint tools
Self-Exclusion: Official programs through ACMA-licensed operators and Gamblers Help allow you to temporarily or permanently block an account.
Reality checks: regular notifications about the time and amount of bets.
Betting and deposit limits: set up through the casino's personal account.
6. Signs of problematic gambling
Loss of control: Increasing bets after losses in an attempt to "win back."
Psychological addiction: obsessive thoughts about betting, irritation when you can't play.
Financial difficulties: debt, use of credit cards, loans for the sake of rates.
Social isolation: reducing communication, giving up hobbies and responsibilities.
