Responsible Gaming

At time-out.dk, we are committed to promoting safe and responsible gaming practices. We believe that entertainment should remain enjoyable and within your control. This page provides essential information about responsible gaming, warning signs of problem gambling, and resources available to support you.

What is Responsible Gaming?

Responsible gaming refers to a set of practices and tools designed to help players enjoy casino games safely and in control. It means:

• Playing for entertainment purposes only, not as a way to earn money
• Setting and respecting personal limits on time and money spent
• Understanding the odds and that the house always has an advantage
• Never gambling with money you cannot afford to lose
• Keeping gambling separate from other life responsibilities

Responsible gaming protects your financial wellbeing and mental health while ensuring your gaming experience remains fun and stress-free.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

If you recognize any of the following signs in yourself or someone you know, it may be time to seek help:

• Spending more money or time gambling than intended
• Feeling the need to gamble with increasing amounts to achieve the same excitement
• Failed attempts to reduce or stop gambling
• Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when trying to reduce gambling
• Gambling to escape problems or negative emotions
• Lying to family or friends about gambling activities
• Borrowing money or using savings to fund gambling
• Neglecting work, school, or family responsibilities
• Experiencing financial difficulties or debt related to gambling
• Continued gambling despite negative consequences

Recognizing these signs early can help prevent problem gambling from developing into a serious issue.

Self-Exclusion Tools

All licensed casinos provide self-exclusion tools that allow you to voluntarily restrict your access to gaming accounts. When you activate self-exclusion, you will be unable to:

• Access your gaming account for a specified period (typically 6 months to 5 years)
• Receive promotional offers or marketing communications
• Create new accounts with participating operators

Self-exclusion is free, confidential, and can be activated immediately through your casino account settings or by contacting customer support.

Deposit Limits

Deposit limits allow you to set a maximum amount of money you can deposit within a specific time period (daily, weekly, or monthly). Benefits include:

• Preventing overspending on gaming activities
• Maintaining control over your gambling budget
• Reducing financial risk
• Supporting your long-term financial goals

You can set, modify, or increase deposit limits at any time through your account settings. Limits typically take effect immediately or within 24 hours.
