Games marked "high risk" - player warning

Introduction

Not all gambling is equally safe: some offer a smooth, predictable experience with small swings in winnings, others high volatility and the risk of rapid loss of funds. The "high risk" mark helps the player to receive a warning even before betting and make an informed decision.

1. Regulatory bases

Australian licensing authorities (ACMA, state commissions) require informing about the risks of choosing products with high uncertainty.
License point: the operator is obliged to mark any games where the chances of quick major losses exceed the established threshold values ​ ​ (volatility, RTP below 90%).

2. "High risk" criteria

1. Volatility

Level of swings in winnings: Frequent large drops in balance.
2. Low RTP

"Return to Player" below 90% indicates a large monetary losing component in the long run.
3. Complexity of rules

Slots with a large number of bonus levels and random jackpots, where the probability of activation is minimal.
4. Live bets on events

Quick bets on outcomes with a very short decision time (betting on time to goal, live add-ons).

3. Marking in the interface

Badge "! High Risk" next to the name of the game in the catalog.
Color highlighting (red or dark orange background of the card).
Information icon: when you hover or tap, popup opens with a brief description of the risk: volatility, RTP, tips on limits.

4. Pre-bid pop-up alert

1. Modal window

When you try to start a "high-risk" game, a window appears:
    💡"You choose a game with high volatility and an RTP of 88%. Sharp losses are possible. Set limits before starting"
  • Continue and Cancel buttons.
  • 2. Confirmation requirement

The player must click "I understand the risk" before moving to the lobby or placing the first bet.

5. Integration with RG tools

Automatic prompt

If the player did not set limits, when launching "High Risk," the game must offer to set deposit and loss limits.
Confirmation logs

The system records the fact of displaying and confirming the warning in the account log (for reporting to the regulator).

6. Recommendations to players

1. Set limits immediately when choosing "High Risk" - deposits, rates and loss.
2. Use timeouts more often: interrupt every 15-30 minutes to assess your emotional state.
3. Check the statistics of past sessions in this product: duration, net result, average rates.
4. Combine with technical filters (Gamban, BetBlocker) - if you feel that the risk exceeds a comfortable level.

Conclusion

Marking "for high risk" is not a marketing ploy, but a mandatory protection that allows you to stop in time before the game with an increased likelihood of major losses. Follow warnings, set limits and use additional RG tools to keep your excitement in check.
