Control

Keep your gambling under control, keep it fun.

We’re proud and happy that you are enjoying our games but because you are our guests, we feel responsible for your welfare and genuinely care about you. Online gaming should be fun and exciting and we want it to stay that way for our players. So, if you don’t see the pleasure in gaming anymore and you tend to spend more than planned, we will help you bring your gaming under control. Our staff are trained to watch out for members who might be showing signs of problematic gambling and if a player indicates that gambling is becoming a problem for themselves, we will give them the best help possible.

Because we understand that sometimes it can be hard to rein yourself in, One Casino offers you the option of setting limits. That way, you can be certain not to lose more than you intended. We also created a self exclusion option so that you can stop yourself from logging in for a period of time.

It may help you to keep your gambling under control by remembering the following:

• You're buying fun, not investing your money
• Before playing, set strict limits on how much time and money you're going to spend
• Quit while you're ahead
• Only gamble with money you can afford to lose
• Don't spend more money on gambling in the hope of winning back money that you have lost
• Keep up other interests and hobbies – don't let gambling take over your life
• Don't gamble in order to escape from stress or boredom
• Gambling in moderation is okay

For some however gambling can become a problem. If you are concerned about the amount you are gambling,  or feel it is taking over your life (or you are concerned for a friend or relative) then the following questions may help you, to give you some guidance. 

• Do you stay away from work or study to gamble?
• Do you gamble to escape from a boring or unhappy life?
• If you run out of money when gambling, do you feel lost and in despair, and need to gamble again as soon as possible?
• Do you gamble until your last penny is gone, even for the bus home or the cost of a cup of tea?
• Have you ever lied to cover up the amount of money or time you have spent gambling?
• Have others ever criticized your gambling?
• Have you lied, stolen or borrowed just to get money to gamble or pay gambling debts?
• Are you reluctant to spend 'gambling money' on anything else?
• Have you lost interest in your family, friends or other pastimes?
• After losing, do you feel you must try and win back your losses as soon as possible?
• Do arguments, frustrations or disappointments make you want to gamble more?
• Do you feel depressed or suicidal because of your gambling?

If you feel you have answered 'yes' to any of these questions then it may be that a gambling problem exists.
