Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment, Not Income
Crazy Time and online gaming should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only. Games of chance are designed with a house edge, meaning that over time, the odds favor the casino. Never view gambling as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Set a budget you can afford to lose, play for fun, and always maintain control over your gaming habits.
Age Verification
Online gaming is only available to individuals who are 18 years of age or older (or the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction). It is your responsibility to ensure you meet the legal age requirement before participating in any gaming activity. Parents and guardians are encouraged to monitor and restrict access to gaming content for minors.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognize any of the following signs, you may be developing a gambling problem:
- ☐ Spending more time and money on gaming than intended
- ☐ Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- ☐ Lying to family, friends, or others about the extent of your gaming
- ☐ Using gaming as an escape from stress, anxiety, or negative emotions
- ☐ Feeling anxious or irritable when unable to game
- ☐ Borrowing money or going into debt to fund gaming
- ☐ Neglecting work, school, family, or personal relationships due to gaming
- ☐ Failed attempts to reduce or stop gaming
- ☐ Experiencing financial difficulties due to gaming activity
- ☐ Gambling with money needed for essential expenses (rent, food, bills)
If you tick any of these boxes, it's time to seek help.
Self-Help Tools & Player Protection
Most reputable gaming platforms offer tools to help you stay in control:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific time period (daily, weekly, monthly)
- Loss Limits: Set a maximum loss threshold to restrict further play once reached
- Reality Checks: Enable pop-up reminders at regular intervals during gaming sessions
- Time-Out / Cool-Off Period: Take a break from gaming for a set duration (hours, days, or weeks)
- Self-Exclusion: Exclude yourself from gaming accounts for an extended period, making it harder to return
- Account Closure: Permanently close your gaming account if needed
Use these tools proactively to maintain healthy gaming habits.
