Frequently Asked Questions

Responsible Gaming FAQ

Responsible gaming tools don't limit your betting — they protect it. Setting a deposit limit or a session timeout puts you in charge of how much you play, which actually makes the experience more enjoyable.

During self-exclusion, your account is completely deactivated and cannot be reopened before the chosen period ends. Once the period expires, you will need to contact our support team and complete a cooldown period before you can play again.

The key signs include: being unable to control your betting, chasing losses with more bets, hiding your betting from family, running into financial trouble, and feeling anxious or restless when you can't bet. If you notice these signs, don't wait — get help.

Requests to lower your deposit limit take effect immediately. Increasing a limit, however, is subject to a 24-hour cooldown period — this protects you from making impulsive decisions in the heat of the moment.
