At Casino Rewards, our goal is to ensure that your online gaming experience is entertaining and safe. While gambling can be a fun leisure activity, it is essential to recognize the potential risks and practice responsible play. This page provides tools, information, and resources to help you stay in control.

1. Gambling Should Be Fun, Not a Problem

Gambling is a form of entertainment, not a way to make money. It’s important to always play for fun and within your means. Ask yourself these questions, based on the widely recognized “Problem Gambling Screen”:

• Have you ever felt the need to bet more and more money?

• Have you ever lied to family members or friends to hide the extent of your gambling?

• Have you ever borrowed money or sold possessions to gamble?

• Do you ever feel guilty or stressed about your gambling?

• Have you tried, but failed, to control, cut back, or stop gambling?

If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, you may be developing a problem with gambling, and we strongly encourage you to seek help using the resources at the bottom of this page.

2. How to Stay in Control

Here are some practical steps you can take to keep your gambling enjoyable and under control:

• Set Deposit Limits: The most effective tool. Decide on a fixed amount of money you can afford to lose each week or month and stick to it. The casinos we promote allow you to set these limits directly in your account.

• Set Time Limits: Decide how much time you will spend gambling and use a timer. It’s easy to lose track of time when you’re playing.

• Gamble with Disposable Income: Only ever gamble with money you can afford to lose. Never use money intended for essentials like rent, bills, or food.

• Don’t Chase Losses: Accept that losing is part of gambling. Trying to win back money you’ve lost often leads to bigger losses and is a sign of problem gambling.

• Take Regular Breaks: Step away from the screen regularly to keep a clear perspective.

• Balance Gambling with Other Activities: Ensure that gambling does not become your main or only form of entertainment.

3. Tools to Help You Manage Your Play

The reputable online casinos we link to offer a range of tools to help you play responsibly. When you register with a casino, look for these features in your account settings:

• Deposit Limits: Set a limit on how much you can deposit daily, weekly, or monthly.

• Loss Limits: Set a limit on the net losses you can incur in a specified period.

• Wager (Betting) Limits: Set a limit on the total amount you can bet in a given time.

• Session Time Alerts: Receive a reminder when you have been playing for a set amount of time.

• Reality Checks: Periodic pop-ups that show you how long you have been playing and your current wins/losses.

• Self-Exclusion (Take a Break): If you feel you need a longer break, you can self-exclude from a casino for a chosen period (e.g., 6 months, 1 year, 5 years, or permanently). During this time, you will be unable to access your account.

4. Protecting Minors

Gambling is strictly prohibited for individuals under the age of 18 (or the legal age in your jurisdiction). We strongly advise parents and guardians to:

• Use gambling-blocking software on devices that children may have access to.

• Never share their own gambling account details or passwords with minors.

• Educate young people about the legal and personal risks associated with underage gambling.
