Responsible Gambling
Gambling should be fun, not a source of stress. Here are resources and guidelines to help you stay in control.
Gambling Should Be Entertainment
Online casino games are designed as entertainment. When gambling stops being fun and starts causing financial or emotional stress, it's time to take a step back. Responsible gambling means staying in control of how much time and money you spend.
Setting Your Limits
Deposit Limits
Set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits on your casino account. Most reputable casinos including 96M allow you to set these in your account settings. Once set, you cannot exceed these limits.
Time Limits
Set session time reminders to alert you when you've been playing for a set period. Taking regular breaks helps maintain perspective and prevents impulsive decisions.
Loss Limits
Decide in advance the maximum you're prepared to lose in a session. When you reach that limit, stop. Never chase losses by increasing your bets or depositing more money.
Signs of Problem Gambling
You may have a gambling problem if you:
- •Spend more money or time gambling than you can afford
- •Chase losses by betting more to try to win back money
- •Neglect work, studies, family, or other responsibilities
- •Feel anxious, stressed, or irritable when not gambling
- •Borrow money or sell possessions to fund gambling
- •Lie to friends or family about how much you gamble
- •Feel you need to gamble with increasing amounts for the same excitement
Self-Exclusion
If you need a break from gambling, most casinos offer self-exclusion options. This temporarily or permanently blocks your access to your account. 96M Casino offers cooling-off periods (24 hours to 6 months) and permanent self-exclusion. Contact their customer support to activate self-exclusion.
