Responsible Gambling

Gambling involves financial risk and game outcomes are random. It is not a reliable way to make money or recover previous losses. Earlier Alice WonderLuck spins do not make a win more likely on the next round.

Keep Gambling Within Set Limits

  • Use money that is not needed for rent, bills, food, debt payments or other essential expenses.
  • Set a spending limit before playing and stop when that amount is reached.
  • Set a time limit and take regular breaks.
  • Do not borrow money to gamble.
  • Do not increase stakes to recover a loss.
  • Keep gambling separate from savings and long-term financial goals.

Account Controls

Online casinos can provide controls that reduce or stop access to gambling, including:

  • deposit limits
  • loss or wagering limits
  • session reminders
  • time-outs
  • self-exclusion
  • gambling-site blocking tools

A time-out temporarily blocks access. Self-exclusion is intended for a longer break and can prevent access to gambling accounts for the selected period.
