Responsible Gambling
In essence, responsible gambling entails enjoyment and a sense of control over your game.
Gambling may become problematic if it causes you significant financial stress, worry, sadness, or other negative effects on your life.
Sensible Betting
- Use only money you can afford to lose when you gamble.
- Before you place a wager, be aware of and explicit about your betting restrictions.
- Go on a break.
Continuously gambling without a pause will affect your judgement. - When you’re irritated or depressed, avoid gambling.
Speak to your friends and family, or use one of the support resources litsted below. - Make alternative plans. Make gambling a part of a lifestyle that is well-balanced because sometimes less is more.
- Don’t chase after bets. Establish boundaries and maintain control.
The Last Man and Responsible Gambling
1. We are committed to upholding the principle of responsible gambling and have a number of self-help tools to help you manage your gambling.
2. We make available the facility for you to stop gambling at any time. If you wish to stop gambling for a limited period of time, rather than closing your Account altogether, you may activate a time-out period or a self-exclusion period. Further details are set out below and both options can be reviewed and pursued through our website contacting us using the details in Clause 21], or in the case of self-exclusion additional details and a registration form can be found at https://www.gamstop.co.uk/:
3. A time-out period will result in you having limited access to our gambling facilities, without prejudice to your withdrawal rights under Clause 12, for a period of either:
3.1. 24 (twenty-four) hours
3.2. One week
3.3. One month
3.4. Such other period as requested by you up to a maximum of 6 (six) weeks.
4. A self-exclusion will result in you having limited access to our gambling facilities, and in most cases will limit your access to any other gambling facilities available to you for a period of at least of 6 (six) months to a maximum of 1 (one) year. This can be extended in 6 monthly intervals up to a maximum of 5 (five) years. Any funds held on your Account during a period of self-exclusion will be returned to you as soon as practicable subject to any restrictions on the right to withdrawal provided for in these Terms and Conditions.
Self-Exclusion removes the customer from any marketing databases immediately or in maximum 48 hours. Self Exclusion can be found by logging in the account and/or by contacting customer services. This requires customer confirming Self Exclusion and is applied immediately on the account. After the self exclusion time there is an additional 24 hours cool-off period before you can access your account. As a chacek a telephone and Email interaction will be in place to make sure you are ok to continue.
5. We will use all reasonable endeavours to ensure compliance with self-exclusion. We implement reasonable checks and safeguards to ensure that whilst you are self-excluded you are not sent marketing material about gambling from us and you cannot access our Services. Consequently, we cannot be held liable to you or any third party if you are able to continue to gamble on our websites or mobile/tablet applications, or if any marketing material inadvertently gets sent to you or if you continue to gamble on any other party’s sites or premises. You accept that we have no responsibility or liability whatsoever (including in respect of any losses you may incur) if You continue to gamble with us or any third party, in particular where you have sought to circumvent a self-exclusion via additional accounts; or where you have changed any of the registration details.
