Responsible Gaming

Introduction

At Casino Joy, we believe that gambling should be enjoyed as entertainment only. It is important to understand that gambling is not a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Casino games are designed for fun and should never be considered a source of income.

We encourage all players to gamble responsibly and within their means. Set a budget you can afford to lose, treat any winnings as a bonus, and never chase losses.

Age Verification

In the United Kingdom, you must be at least 18 years of age to gamble online. We take age verification seriously and all players must confirm they are of legal age before registering.

If you are under 18, please do not attempt to access our services. If you believe a minor has access to a gambling account, please contact us immediately.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can affect anyone. If you experience any of the following warning signs, please seek help:

• Spending more time or money gambling than intended
• Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
• Hiding gambling activities from family or friends
• Gambling to escape stress, anxiety, or other problems
• Neglecting work, school, or family responsibilities due to gambling
• Borrowing money to fund gambling activities
• Experiencing mood swings or irritability when unable to gamble
• Failed attempts to cut down or stop gambling
• Lying about the amount of money spent on gambling
• Gambling with money needed for essential expenses

If you recognise any of these signs in yourself or someone else, it's important to seek support.

Self-Help Tools & Responsible Gaming Features

Most online casinos, including those we affiliate with, offer tools to help you manage your gambling:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific time period (daily, weekly, monthly).
• Loss Limits: Set a limit on the maximum amount you are willing to lose over a specific period.
• Reality Checks: Receive automatic reminders during your gaming session about how long you've been playing.
• Session Time Limits: Set a maximum duration for your gaming sessions.
• Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from gambling accounts, preventing access for a set period or indefinitely.
• Account Closure: Permanently close your account if you wish to stop gambling entirely.

We encourage you to use these tools proactively to maintain control over your gambling activities.
