Principles of Responsible Gambling
To reduce the risk of gambling addiction, adhere to the principles of responsible gambling:
- Allocate only money for deposit, the loss of which will not create financial problems for you and your family;
- Never borrow or lend money for sports betting or casino games. You should only handle funds that belong to you and that you can freely dispose of;
- Before playing, determine the maximum time for the duration of the gaming session. When it expires, stop betting;
- Do not start playing while intoxicated and do not consume alcoholic beverages while playing;
- If you are stressed or overwhelmed by negative emotions, do not place bets. Emotional state can influence your decisions;
- Do not increase the size of bets and do not make another deposit, if the purpose of this action is a quick return of previous losses. Such actions can only aggravate the situation;
- If a game session lasts more than an hour, take a break. Try to rest for 15 minutes every 60 minutes.
If you already have a gambling addiction and need help, you can get it at specialized medical centers. The Pirate Spot support team can provide you with the contacts of such facilities. Also, at your request, we can temporarily block your account or change the deposit limits for it.
FAQ
How exactly does the “deposit limit” feature work?
You can set a daily, weekly, or monthly limit on the amount you can deposit. Once this limit is reached, you will not be able to make new deposits until the period ends. Requests to tighten a limit take effect immediately; requests to loosen it take effect after a 24-hour cooling-off period.
What is the difference between a “Time-Out” and “Self-Exclusion”?
A Time-Out is a short break from gaming (e.g., 24 hours or 7 days), during which you cannot log in. Self-Exclusion is a longer, more formal period (from 6 months to permanently), during which your account is blocked, and we take steps to prevent you from creating new ones.
Where in my account can I find these tools?
All responsible gaming tools are located in your personal account, usually under the “My Profile” section or in a dedicated “Responsible Gaming” tab.
Do you offer a self-assessment test for problem gambling?
Yes, on our responsible gaming page, there is a questionnaire that can help you assess whether your gambling habits are healthy or if they are starting to get out of control.
What happens if I try to create a new account during a self-exclusion period?
We make every effort to prevent this through data verification. If a new account is detected, it will be immediately blocked, and any funds in it may be confiscated in accordance with our policies.
