At PinUp Casino, we are committed to providing a safe and enjoyable gaming environment for all our players. We believe that gambling should be a form of entertainment, not a source of financial or emotional distress. This guide outlines our approach to responsible gambling and provides resources for those who may need support.
Understanding Responsible Gambling
Responsible gambling means:
- Viewing gambling as entertainment, not a way to make money
- Only gambling with money you can afford to lose
- Setting and sticking to time and money limits
- Balancing gambling with other leisure activities
- Never chasing losses
Self-Assessment Checklist
If you answer “yes” to any of the following questions, it may be time to reassess your gambling habits:
- Do you gamble to escape problems or relieve negative emotions?
- Have you ever lied about your gambling habits to loved ones?
- Do you often spend more time or money gambling than you intended?
- Has gambling negatively impacted your work or personal relationships?
- Do you feel anxious or irritable when not gambling?
- Have you borrowed money or sold possessions to fund your gambling?
