Responsible Gaming

Keeping under Control

When it comes to responsible gaming, the following important points should be kept in mind:

• Gambling is only entertainment, not a way to make money. The Betting platform is designed for users to have fun, enjoy their leisure time and find like-minded people.
• There is no need to try to win back if you lose and spend all your savings on betting. Allocate entertainment to an amount that you can afford to lose.
• Interactive betting should not affect your financial situation and become a source of financial problems.
• Pay attention to the time you spend on the betting site. Your hobby should not affect your relationship with your family and friends.

Prevention of the Gaming Addiction

Controlling your gambling activity is a key aspect of gambling addiction prevention. If necessary, you can use the tools below to help you avoid possible problems related to excessive gambling addiction:

• Set deposit and betting limits. Determine the maximum amount you can afford to spend on entertainment in a given period of time.
• Set time limits on gaming. Do not spend all your free time playing. Determine for yourself a comfortable length of sessions and try not to exceed the limit.
• Self-restriction and self-exclusion tools. You can temporarily or permanently exclude your account if you feel you are having trouble controlling the game.
• Training and information. 1win provides information about gambling addiction and trains staff to recognise signs of problem gambling behaviour and to help players get the support they need.
• Tracking and analysis. 1win monitors and analyses users’ gambling activity to identify psychological addiction to entertainment in a timely manner.
• Support and advice. Players are provided with specific programmes and resources for the treatment of their gaming addiction, as well as advice from specialists in the field.

How Do You Know If You Have a Gambling Addiction?

There are signs that can be used to identify excessive gambling addiction. To do so, you need to answer the following questions honestly:

• Do you spend more time gambling than you planned?
• Betting when you are under stress?
• Do you go to a betting site to distract yourself from problems in your personal life or at work?
• Make bets when you are under the influence of alcohol or drugs?
• Skipping important personal or work meetings to play on a betting platform?
• Spending more money on entertainment than you can afford?
• Put off shopping or paying bills so you can bet?
• Hiding gambling expenses from friends or family?
• Looking for more and more opportunities to gamble at 1win?
• Feeling anxious or annoyed when you are distracted from the game?

If you answered yes to most of these questions, it could be a sign of a gambling addiction problem.

Pieces of Advice to Control the Gambling

Gambling addiction entails not only a decline in your financial situation but also a loss of interest in your family and social values. Use the 1win tips to avoid getting too addicted to online betting:

• Don’t gamble with money you can’t afford to lose. Don’t bet at the expense of vital funds.
• Do not gamble when you are depressed, under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
• Do not compare your game with that of other users. Everyone uses a different strategy, and you should not imitate more successful players.
• Do not bet in the hope of winning a large sum to solve your financial problems. Entertainment is not a way to make money or a source of stable income.
