SILVERSANDS / INDEPENDENT GUIDE
Your wellbeing comes first.
Gambling is paid entertainment with a risk of loss. It is not a way to earn income or solve money problems. Choosing not to play is always a valid choice.
Make limits before you start
Decide what you can afford to lose after essential expenses. Set a time limit as well as a spending limit. Ask the operator which deposit limits, time reminders and account controls it offers, and how to activate them.
Recognise when a break is needed
Chasing losses, borrowing to gamble, hiding spending or playing longer than planned are reasons to stop and seek support. Avoid gambling when distressed or affected by alcohol or drugs.
Use a pause or self-exclusion
If keeping control feels difficult, leave the game and contact operator support about a cooling-off period or self-exclusion. Ask about its scope and duration. Consider blocking software and payment restrictions through your device or bank.
Keep gambling away from minors
This guide and casino offers are for adults aged 18 or over. Keep account credentials private, use device protections and never allow a child to use your gambling account.
Talk to someone
Speak to someone you trust and seek support from a gambling support service in your country. Gambling Therapy provides information and online support at gamblingtherapy.org. If you are in immediate danger, contact your local emergency services.
