Responsible Gaming
Gambling should be enjoyable, occasional and always within your means. At Only Spins, we believe players should stay in control of both the time and money they spend on casino games or sports betting.
Responsible gaming starts with understanding that gambling involves risk. Results are unpredictable, losses are possible, and gambling should never be treated as a way to make money or solve financial problems.
Keep Gambling in Perspective
Casino games and sports betting are forms of entertainment. Set clear boundaries before you start and avoid changing them because of a win or a loss.
- Decide how much you can afford to spend before playing.
- Only gamble with disposable income.
- Set a time limit for each session.
- Take regular breaks.
- Do not try to recover previous losses by increasing your bets.
- Never borrow money to gamble.
Set a Gambling Budget
A gambling budget should be separate from money needed for rent, bills, food, savings or other everyday expenses. Once the amount you planned to spend has been reached, stop playing rather than adding more funds.
Keeping track of deposits and withdrawals can also give you a clearer picture of your overall gambling activity.
Manage Your Playing Time
It is easy to lose track of time when playing online. Decide how long you want to spend gambling before opening a game or placing a bet and take breaks away from the screen.
Gambling should not regularly interfere with work, sleep, relationships or other activities that are important to you.
Do Not Chase Losses
A losing session cannot be guaranteed to turn around. Increasing stakes or depositing more money in an attempt to recover losses can quickly turn a small loss into a much larger one.
If you feel frustrated or tempted to keep playing simply to win money back, closing the game and taking a break is usually the better choice.
When Not to Gamble
Avoid gambling when your judgement may be affected. This includes times when you are under the influence of alcohol or drugs, extremely tired, upset, stressed or experiencing financial pressure.
Important decisions about money are easier to make when you are calm and able to think clearly.
Recognising Problem Gambling
Gambling habits can change over time. It may be worth reviewing your activity if you notice that gambling is becoming more important than other parts of your life.
Possible warning signs include:
- spending more money or time gambling than you planned;
- repeatedly trying to win back losses;
- hiding gambling activity from family or friends;
- borrowing money or using money intended for essential expenses;
- feeling anxious, irritable or restless when you are not gambling;
- neglecting work, study, relationships or other responsibilities;
- finding it difficult to stop even when you want to.
One sign on its own does not necessarily mean that someone has a gambling problem, but repeated patterns should not be ignored.
Take a Break
If gambling no longer feels enjoyable or you simply want some distance from it, taking a break can help. A short period away from gambling gives you time to reassess your spending, habits and reasons for playing.
For longer-term restrictions, account controls or self-exclusion options may be more appropriate.
Account Limits and Controls
Responsible gaming tools are intended to help players manage their activity before it becomes a problem. Depending on the controls available for your account, these may include limits or restrictions related to deposits, playing activity or account access.
If you are unsure which option is suitable, contact Only Spins support for information about the controls currently available on your account.
Self-Exclusion
Self-exclusion is intended for players who want to stop gambling for a longer period. During a self-exclusion period, access to gambling services may be restricted according to the applicable account conditions.
If you believe self-exclusion is the right choice for you, contact support and request information about the available process.
Protecting Minors
Only Spins is intended for adults who are legally permitted to gamble in their location. Minors must not create an account or use another person’s account to access gambling services.
If you share a computer, tablet or phone with children or teenagers, keep your login details private and use appropriate parental controls or device restrictions where necessary.
Getting Help
If gambling is becoming difficult to control, asking for help is an important step. Consider speaking with someone you trust or contacting an independent organisation that specialises in gambling-related support.
You can also contact Only Spins support if you need information about account restrictions, available responsible gaming controls or self-exclusion.
Our Approach
Only Spins provides casino games and sports betting as entertainment for adults. Our aim is to give players access to information and account controls that can help them make informed decisions about how they gamble.
Set limits that work for you, take breaks when needed and stop if gambling is no longer enjoyable. Gambling should always remain within your personal and financial boundaries.
