Responsible Gambling

Coolbet IS is an independent information website about the iGaming industry. We do not operate casinos, but we strongly believe in promoting responsible gambling. Gambling should always be a form of entertainment — never a way to make money or escape from problems.

We encourage all visitors to play responsibly, to only play with licensed operators, and to maintain control over the time and money they spend. If gambling stops being fun, it may be time to take a break.

Recognizing early signs of problem gambling is important. Warning signs may include:

• Spending more money or time on gambling than you can afford
• Chasing losses to try to win money back
• Gambling to escape stress, anxiety or boredom
• Neglecting work, studies, family or personal responsibilities
• Borrowing money or lying to others about your gambling
• Feeling anxious, guilty or irritable when trying to cut down or stop

If any of these apply to you or someone you know, please consider contacting the organizations listed below.

To keep gambling safe and enjoyable, we recommend the following:

• Set a budget and time limits before you start and stick to them
• Only gamble with money you can afford to lose
• Treat gambling as entertainment, not as a source of income
• Don't chase your losses
• Take regular breaks; don't play under the influence of alcohol or when you're upset
• Use deposit limits, reality checks and self-exclusion tools offered by licensed operators

If you feel gambling is becoming a problem, free and confidential help is available. The following independent organizations offer support, counseling and advice:

• BeGambleAware — begambleaware.org
• GamCare — gamcare.org.uk
• Gamblers Anonymous — gamblersanonymous.org

You must be of legal age to gamble in your jurisdiction. Seeking help is a positive and confidential step, and support is available regardless of your location.
