Britsino UK Responsible Gambling Policy

Gambling at an online casino should always be aimed at entertainment. However, there is a certain percentage of people who lose control over themselves while gambling. Before starting to play, it is important to realise that gambling shall never be viewed as a source of income or means of recovery from debts. It is useful to keep track of the time and the amount of money spent at an online casino daily.

If you think that you are starting to spend more money than you can afford, or in case gaming starts interfering with your normal daily routines, we strongly advise you to consider several measures that can help, such as setting personal limits on your gaming activities, opting for self-exclusion, and seeking help and support from trusted independent bodies.

1. Our Approach to Responsible Gambling

1.1. Britsino Casino UK operates under a licence and follows all applicable regulations related to player protection and responsible gambling.

1.2. The casino takes active steps to prevent underage gambling, detect signs of problem gambling, and provide players with tools to manage their activity on the platform.

1.3. All staff members who interact with players receive regular training on responsible gambling procedures, including how to identify at-risk behaviour and how to respond appropriately.

2. Age Verification

2.1. Britsino Casino does not allow anyone under the age of 18 to register, deposit, or play on the platform.

2.2. Age verification checks are carried out during the registration process. Players may be required to submit identification documents such as a passport or driving licence before they can deposit funds or place bets.

2.3. If verification cannot be completed, the account will be restricted until valid proof of age is provided.

2.4. If the casino determines that a minor has gained access to the platform, the account will be closed immediately, and all funds will be returned to the payment source. Any winnings generated will be voided.

2.5. Parents and guardians are advised to use parental control software to prevent minors from accessing gambling websites. The following tools can help:

Net Nanny
Qustodio
Bark

3. Self-Assessment

3.1. Players are encouraged to regularly evaluate their gambling habits. The following questions may help identify early signs of problem gambling:

Do you spend more money on gambling than you can afford to lose?
Do you borrow money or sell possessions to fund gambling?
Do you chase losses by placing larger or more frequent bets?
Do you feel anxious, irritable, or restless when you are not gambling?
Has gambling caused arguments with family members or friends?
Do you neglect work, studies, or daily responsibilities because of gambling?
Do you lie to others about how much time or money you spend on gambling?
Do you gamble to escape stress, boredom, or negative emotions?
Have you tried to stop or reduce gambling but failed?
Do you feel guilty or depressed after a gambling session?

3.2. If the answer to one or more of these questions is yes, the player may be at risk of developing a gambling problem. In that case, it is recommended to use the responsible gambling tools described below or to seek external support.

4. Responsible Gambling Tools

Britsino Casino provides several tools that allow players to control their gambling activity. These tools can be activated at any time through the account settings page or by contacting the support team.

4.1. Deposit Limits

Players can set a maximum amount that can be deposited into their account within a specific time period. The available options are:

Daily limit — restricts the total amount deposited in a 24-hour period
Weekly limit — restricts the total amount deposited in a 7-day period
Monthly limit — restricts the total amount deposited in a 30-day period

Requests to lower a deposit limit take effect immediately. Requests to increase a deposit limit are subject to a 24-hour cooling-off period before they are applied.

4.2. Loss Limits

Players can set a maximum amount they are willing to lose within a given time frame. Once the limit is reached, the player will not be able to place further bets until the period resets. Loss limits can be set on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis.

4.3. Wager Limits

Players can set a cap on the total amount wagered within a specific period. This tool helps control overall betting activity regardless of wins or losses.

4.4. Session Time Limits

Players can set a maximum duration for each gambling session. When the set time is reached, the player will receive a notification. The player can choose to end the session or continue. Repeated reminders will be sent at regular intervals if the session continues.

4.5. Reality Checks

Reality checks are periodic notifications that appear during a gambling session. They display information about the duration of the session and the net amount won or lost. Players can set the frequency of these notifications in their account settings. Available intervals typically range from 15 minutes to 60 minutes.

4.6. Cooling-Off Period

Players can activate a cooling-off period to temporarily suspend their account. During this time, the player will not be able to log in, deposit, or place bets. Available cooling-off durations include:

7 days
30 days

During the cooling-off period, the player will not receive any marketing or promotional communications from the casino. The account will be automatically reactivated once the selected period ends.

Permanent exclusion

During the self-exclusion period:

The account will be fully suspended
The player will not be able to log in or create a new account
All marketing and promotional communications will be stopped
Any remaining balance will be made available for withdrawal

Self-exclusion cannot be reversed before the selected period ends. Players who wish to return after the exclusion period must contact the support team. A minimum 24-hour waiting period will apply before the account can be reactivated.
