Responsible gambling

A friendly theme doesn't make a slot harmless. Here's how to keep it fun — and where to turn if it stops being fun.

01Know the risks

Thunderstruck II rewards coming back, and that is exactly the trap: chasing the next hall can turn into chasing losses. Every spin is random. Set a budget and a time limit before you start, and treat the hall progress as a bonus, not a goal.

02Warning signs

  • Spending more money or time than you planned.
  • Raising your bet to win back losses.
  • Borrowing money or using money meant for bills.
  • Feeling anxious, irritable or guilty about gambling.
  • Hiding gambling from people close to you.

03Set limits before you play

  • Deposit limits — daily, weekly or monthly, set in your casino account.
  • Loss and wager limits — where the casino offers them.
  • Time limits and reality checks — reminders of how long you've played.
  • Time-outs — a short break from your account, from a day to several weeks.

04Self-exclusion across all casinos

Many countries run national schemes that block you from every licensed casino at once — for example GAMSTOP in the UK, Spelpaus in Sweden and OASIS in Germany. Your casino can also close your account for a set period.

05Blocking software

Tools such as Gamban, BetBlocker and GamBlock stop gambling sites from opening on your devices. BetBlocker is free.

06Where to get help

07Protecting minors

Keep casino accounts and passwords private, don't let children use your devices while logged in, and use parental controls to block gambling sites.
