Responsible Gaming at Loots Casino
At Loots Casino, we are committed to providing a safe and enjoyable gaming environment for all our players. We recognise that gambling should be a form of entertainment, not a source of distress or harm. Our goal is to promote responsible gaming by offering practical tools, support, and information to help you maintain control over your gambling activity.
Our Responsible Gaming Tools
To help you manage your play responsibly, Loots Casino provides a variety of self-help features that allow you to set personalised limits and take breaks when needed:
- Deposit Limits: Set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits to control how much money you add to your account.
- Wager and Loss Limits: Apply limits on how much you can stake or lose within a chosen period, helping you manage your budget effectively.
- Session Time Limits: Define how long you want to play per session, with alerts to notify you when your time is up.
- Temporary Self-Exclusion: Take a break from gambling for a minimum of 24 hours up to 6 months, or longer if you require more time away.
- Permanent Account Closure: If you decide to stop gambling altogether, you can request a permanent closure of your account at any time.
Recognising the Signs of Problem Gambling
Gambling should always remain a fun and controlled activity. However, you might be at risk of developing a gambling problem if you:
- Gamble to recover previous losses or as a way to make money.
- Borrow money or use essential funds (such as rent, bills, or groceries) to gamble.
- Spend more time or money gambling than originally planned.
- Neglect work, family, or social commitments due to gambling.
- Experience stress, anxiety, or conflicts with loved ones related to your gambling habits.
- Find yourself constantly thinking about gambling or planning your next bet.
If you identify with any of these signs, we strongly encourage you to seek support and consider using our responsible gaming tools to regain control.
Best Practices for Responsible Gambling
To help you enjoy gambling safely, we recommend the following:
- Decide on a loss limit before you start and stick to it strictly.
- Treat gambling as a form of entertainment, not a way to earn money.
- Never gamble with borrowed money or money allocated for essential expenses.
- Set time limits and take regular breaks during gaming sessions.
- Balance gambling with other hobbies and interests.
- Avoid gambling when feeling stressed, upset, or under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
- Use only disposable income that you can afford to lose.
Self-Assessment and Support
If you are unsure about your gambling behaviour, we encourage you to take our confidential self-assessment quiz available on our website. It can help you evaluate your gambling habits and identify potential risks.
