Gaming Is for Entertainment Only — Not a Source of Income

If you find that your gaming activity is starting to affect your finances, family relationships, or mental health, this is a sign that you may need help. Our platform provides control tools you can activate immediately. Don't wait until things get worse.

What Is Responsible Gaming?

Responsible gaming means choosing to play in a way that causes no harm to yourself or those around you. It's about making conscious decisions — playing for entertainment within the time and money limits you set in advance, not out of pressure, addiction, or the hope of solving financial problems.

At pragmatic game, we take this responsibility very seriously. We don't just provide an enjoyable gaming platform — we actively invest in the infrastructure and tools that help our players maintain control over their gaming activity. This goes beyond meeting legal requirements; it reflects our core belief that player well-being matters more than short-term profit.

Statistics show that most players can enjoy online casino gaming as healthy entertainment. However, a small number of players may find it difficult to control their gaming habits — and these are the people we most want to help. By recognising early warning signs and taking action sooner, more serious problems can be prevented.

Always Remember: Gaming should be fun. When it starts to feel like an obligation, a source of stress, or an escape from other problems — that's the moment to pause and reassess.

Control Tools We Provide

All these tools are accessible directly from your account settings with no need to contact anyone. We've made access intentionally easy because we want you to use them whenever you feel the need:

Deposit Limit

Set how much money you can deposit per day, week, or month. Once this limit is set, our system will automatically decline any deposit that exceeds it until the new limit period begins.

Play Time Limit

Set how long you can play in a single session. Once the time limit is reached, the system will display a notice and prompt you to take a break before continuing. You can also set weekly or monthly limits.

Loss Limit

Set the maximum amount you are willing to lose within a given period. Once the loss limit is reached, the system will block play until the new period begins — even if your account balance still has funds.

Temporary Self-Exclusion

Take a break from the platform for 24 hours, 7 days, 30 days, or a duration of your choice. During the break period, your account cannot be used for gaming even if you know your password. This gives you the space to breathe.

Permanent Self-Exclusion

If you feel you need a more drastic solution, you can apply for permanent self-exclusion. Your account will be permanently closed and you will not be able to re-register. This is a serious tool and cannot be reversed.

Opt Out of Promotions

Opt out of receiving any promotional offers, bonuses, or advertisements that may encourage you to play more. You can disable all marketing communications instantly through your account settings.

Warning Signs to Watch Out For

Gambling problems rarely appear overnight. They typically develop gradually, with early warning signs that are often overlooked. Recognise these signs before the situation becomes more serious:

Playing with money meant for basic needs such as rent, bills, or food.
Borrowing money from friends, family, or financial lenders for the purpose of gaming.
Feeling anxious, worried, or depressed when not playing or after a loss.
Hiding gaming activity from a partner, family, or friends.
Trying to "break even" by wagering more money after a loss.
Neglecting work, family, or social responsibilities due to time spent gaming.
Feeling unable to stop playing even when you intended to.
The need to bet with increasingly larger amounts to get the same level of excitement.
If You Recognise Yourself in the Signs Above: Don't feel ashamed or alone. This is a health issue that can be overcome with the right support. Activate the control tools in your account today, and consider seeking professional help. Reaching out to our team is an easy first step.

Frequently Asked Questions on Responsible Gaming

Control limits can be changed, but in different ways depending on the type of change. Making a limit stricter (e.g. reducing your deposit limit) takes effect immediately. To loosen or cancel a limit, a mandatory waiting period applies — typically 24 to 72 hours depending on the limit type — as a safeguard against impulsive decisions. Permanent self-exclusion cannot be cancelled under any circumstances.

Your account balance remains safe during the self-exclusion period. You won't be able to access the account for gaming or make new deposits, but your money isn't going anywhere. Once the period ends, you can log back in and your balance will be there as usual. If you need access to your funds during the exclusion period for an emergency, please contact our support team for a case-by-case assessment.

We understand that individuals struggling with gambling problems may sometimes be unable or unwilling to seek help on their own. Concerned family members can contact our support team to discuss the situation. While we are bound by our privacy policy and cannot share account information with third parties, we can offer general guidance and suggest steps that family members can take to help.

Activating control tools such as deposit limits or play time limits will not automatically cancel any active bonuses. However, if the limit you set prevents you from meeting the bonus wagering requirements within the specified period, the bonus may expire. This is a trade-off to bear in mind — and we firmly believe your well-being is worth far more than any bonus.

Our system actively monitors gameplay patterns that may indicate a problem — such as sudden spikes in deposits, excessively long gaming sessions, or repeated loss patterns followed by larger deposits. When such patterns are detected, our team may proactively reach out to the player to offer information about available control tools. We don't act punitively — we act with care and support.

Support Ready to Help You

Our customer support team is trained to assist players who may be experiencing difficulties with their gaming habits. You can speak with us privately via 24/7 live chat on the platform. All conversations are confidential and we will not judge you. Reach out whenever you feel you need to.
