Responsible Gambling at Wrest Point Hotel Casino

Safe and Balanced Gambling Habits

At Wrest Point Hotel Casino, we want you to enjoy gaming responsibly while having fun. Here are some tips for maintaining a balanced approach:

• Set aside a budget specifically for entertainment purposes only.
• Decide on the maximum amount of time you can allocate for gaming each day or week.
• Don't chase losses – it's just not worth risking more money than you're willing to lose.

Gambling as Entertainment

Gaming should be treated as an enjoyable form of entertainment, rather than a way to make income. Keep your expectations in check and remember that winning isn’t always guaranteed:

• Separate gaming from financial responsibilities.
• Don't gamble with borrowed or emergency funds.
• If you find yourself feeling anxious about the next game, take a break.

Budget and Bankroll Management

Effective money management is key to responsible gaming habits. Learn how to track your spending and set realistic expectations for returns:

• Set deposit limits to control spending.
• Understand variance – wins and losses are part of the process.
• Be aware that even winning sessions can lead to overspending if you're chasing a high.

Deposit, Loss, Wager, and Session Limits

We support safe gaming practices by implementing flexible tools. Familiarize yourself with these limits to make informed decisions:

• Our deposit limit tool allows you to set daily, weekly, or monthly maximum deposits.
• We offer customizable loss limits, enabling you to take control of your spending habits.
• You can also restrict wager amounts and specify time intervals for gaming sessions.

Reality Checks and Time Reminders

Staying up-to-date with the time spent on gaming helps maintain balance. Our tools are designed to help:

• Set real-time alerts and schedule breaks using our session timer feature.
• Access detailed reports about your play history, including time spent and money wagered.
• Make informed decisions by analyzing trends in your gameplay.

Cooling-Off Periods and Self-Exclusion Tools

We provide easy-to-use tools for you to control your gaming habits:

• Activate a cooling-off period from the platform at any moment.
• Request self-exclusion, blocking access to the account for up to 6 months or permanently.
• During these periods, our support team is available should you need assistance.

Account Verification and Age Restrictions

Protect yourself by keeping age-related safeguards in place:

• Our sign-up process requires strict verification of identity to prevent unauthorized accounts.
• A robust system ensures that we block access to the platform if someone attempts to bypass our policies for minors.

• If you feel overwhelmed, our customer support team can offer guidance on responsible gaming strategies.
• Don't hesitate to reach out – it's confidential.

Warning Signs of Problematic Gambling

Knowing the warning signs is crucial for maintaining balanced habits:

• Feelings of guilt or anxiety about your gambling behaviour.
• Needing more money from family members, friends, or other sources due to losses.
• Experiencing withdrawal symptoms when you can't gamble.

If any of these resonate with you, please contact our support team for professional assistance and resources.
