Responsible Gaming

At IT-Bonden, we are committed to promoting safe and responsible gaming practices. We believe that gambling should be an entertaining activity, not a source of financial hardship or personal problems. This page provides essential information about responsible gaming, available support tools, and resources to help you maintain control over your gaming habits.

What is Responsible Gaming?

Responsible gaming refers to a set of practices and policies designed to ensure that casino gaming remains enjoyable and safe for all players. It involves understanding the risks associated with gambling, making informed decisions, and playing within your means.

Responsible gaming means:

• Setting strict budgets and only gambling with money you can afford to lose
• Viewing gambling as entertainment, not as a way to make money
• Playing for fun rather than to solve financial problems
• Knowing when to stop and recognizing warning signs of problem gambling
• Taking regular breaks from gambling activities
• Never borrowing money to gamble

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

It is important to recognize the early signs of problem gambling so you can take action before it becomes a serious issue. If you or someone you know exhibits any of the following signs, help is available:

• Spending more time and money on gambling than intended
• Feeling the urge to gamble with increasing amounts to achieve the same level of excitement
• Becoming anxious, irritable, or restless when attempting to reduce or stop gambling
• Lying to family members or friends about the extent of your gambling
• Using gambling to escape problems or relieve stress
• Experiencing financial difficulties due to gambling losses
• Neglecting work, school, family, or personal relationships
• Continuing to gamble despite negative consequences
• Chasing losses by gambling more frequently or with larger stakes

Tools to Control Your Gaming

Deposit Limits

Deposit limits allow you to set a maximum amount of money you can deposit into your account during a specified period (daily, weekly, or monthly). This tool helps you maintain a budget and prevents overspending. All reputable casinos should offer flexible deposit limit options that you can adjust at any time.

Self-Exclusion

Self-exclusion is a voluntary measure that allows you to restrict your access to gambling sites for a set period. Once activated, you will be prevented from logging into your account and will not be able to place bets. Self-exclusion periods typically range from 24 hours to several years, depending on the casino's policies.

Important: You must be at least 18 years old to gamble. Self-exclusion tools are designed for adult players who wish to take a break from gaming activities.
