What Is Responsible Gambling?

For many people, gambling is a great way to have fun while playing your favourite games. However, as an online casino provider it’s important for us to be transparent about the risks, too.

It is possible to become addicted to gambling, and some people find it difficult to stay in control of how much time and money they are spending at online casinos.

Responsible gambling refers to gambling that does not put yourself or others at risk, whether that’s financially, mentally, or in any other way. 

At online casinos like Spin Genie, there are a number of gambling tools and features designed to help you gamble responsibly. Read on to find out more about how they can benefit you.

Responsible Gambling Tools and Features at Spin Genie

Here’s an introduction to some of the responsible gambling tools and features available at Spin Genie:

Verification and Age Restrictions

You must be aged 18 or older to join Spin Genie. Gambling under the age of 18 is illegal, and we use both automated and manual processes to verify the age of our players. If anyone under the age of 18 tries to register an account with Spin Genie, it will be closed immediately.

Freeze/Cooling-Off and Self-Exclusion

If you need to take a break from gambling but need some help sticking to it, you can use our Player Limitation tools. Choose a Freeze/Cooling-Off period of between 24 hours and six weeks, or use our Self-Exclusion option to deactivate your account indefinitely.

During the Cooling-Off or Self-Exclusion period you won’t be able to gamble or deposit, and you won’t receive any marketing material.

Deposit Limits

When you create a Spin Genie account you will be given the option to restrict your daily, weekly or monthly deposit amount to any amount you want. 

You can set or change your deposit limits in the My Account section to help you stay in control.

Game Status Reminder (Reality Check)

In the My Account section of the website you can set a Game Status Reminder, which will tell you how long you have been playing for give you options to continue playing, review your game history or close the game.

You can also decide how frequently you would like the Game Status Reminder to appear.

Limit Exposure to Advertising

If you feel like you are seeing too many adverts for gambling on social media, there are some steps you can take to limit your exposure. 

Check out this link for guidance on how to limit the gambling ads shown to you on Facebook, Twitter and Google.

Self-Assessment

Concerned that your gambling is becoming an issue? This simple self-assessment quiz asks you to give yes or no answers to a series of questions about your gambling habits.

Once you have the results, you can decide whether you need to take steps to limit your gambling.

SafeMate

SafeMate is a useful new tool in the Responsible Gambling section of your account. It allows you to track how much money you have spent, what you have won or lost, and how much time you have spent gambling over the last six months.

You can use it to see whether your gambling habits are changing, and it can even compare you to other similar players and give you a gambling health check score.
