Our commitment
CasinoRoster promotes safe, informed, and legal play. We are an information resource—not an operator. We do not process payments or access player accounts. Gambling is for adults 18+/21+ depending on local law. If gambling stops being fun, stop and seek help.

Set up safer-play controls
Most licensed casinos provide built-in responsible gambling tools. Enable them before you deposit:
-
Deposit/Loss limits: daily, weekly, monthly caps
-
Wager/Session time limits and reality checks (pop-ups)
-
Timeout/Cool-off: temporary suspension (24 hours to several weeks)
-
Self-exclusion: block access for 6–12+ months (often irreversible during the period)
-
Product blocks: exclude specific games or categories
-
Marketing opt-out: unsubscribe from bonuses and promos
Tip: Take screenshots of your limit settings and confirmation emails.
Blocking software & device safeguards
Consider third-party tools that restrict access to gambling sites and apps on your devices:
-
Website/app blockers (e.g., Gamban, BetBlocker)
-
ISP/Router parental controls and device-level restrictions
-
Remove saved cards and disable one-click payments in your wallet/browser
Warning signs of harm
-
Chasing losses or increasing stakes to feel “the same rush”
-
Hiding play from family/friends; borrowing to gamble
-
Missing work/studies, sleep issues, using gambling to cope with stress
-
Breaking self-set limits or gambling while intoxicated
If any of the above feels familiar, take a timeout and contact a support service.
Self-assessment (quick check)
-
I set a budget before I play and never exceed it
-
I play only with disposable income
-
I take regular breaks and track time
-
I understand the house edge/RNG and that outcomes are random
-
I never gamble to recover debts or manage mood
If you answered “no” to any, adjust your plan or stop.
Help for friends & family
-
Talk calmly and non-judgmentally; focus on specific behaviors and impacts
-
Encourage professional help and offer to join the first call/meeting
-
Protect finances: separate accounts, cancel shared credit where appropriate
-
In emergencies (risk of harm), contact local emergency services
Underage & vulnerable users
-
Gambling content is not for minors. Use device controls and family accounts to block access.
-
Do not share gambling accounts or devices with children.
-
Report underage access attempts to the operator and your regulator.
