RESPONSIBLE GAMING
You are important. You are valued. You are our greatest asset.
We want you to enjoy an out of this world experience and we will do this by looking after you.
Gaming should be pure entertainment however, you can’t always win. Unfortunately, losing is also part of the game so we want to make sure you are prepared for this. We want to make you aware of the social and financial difficulties that can occur if you find gaming is no longer about having fun.
Gaming can be addictive and can easily make you lose perspective of time and money. We want your gaming experience at Genesis Casino to be as positive as possible, even if you lose.
Spend only what you can afford to risk whilst maintaining a level of self-control. Keep it together by remembering:
1. Gambling should always be done in moderation and undertaken as a form of leisure not as genuine way of making money.
2. Avoid chasing losses - there will always be another day.
3. Only gamble when you can cover the losses.
4. Keep track of the time and monitor the amount of money you spend.
5. Utilise all the limit tools to stay in control.
6. Should you need a break from gambling, self-exclusion from one or all of our products can be activated by contacting Support.
If you need to talk to someone about any concerns you may have regarding your gambling habits, please contact one of the organisations listed below.
Gambling Problem?
Test yourself to see if you might have a gambling problem, by asking yourself the following questions:
1. Does gambling prevent you from attending educational classes and/or work?
2. Do you gamble to pass time or to stop boredom?
3. Do you gamble alone for long periods of time?
4. Have others ever criticised you for your gambling?
5. Have you lost interest in family, friends or hobbies due to gambling?
6. Have you ever lied to cover up the amount of money or time you spend gambling?
7. Have you lied, stolen or borrowed in order to maintain betting habits?
8. Are you reluctant to spend "gambling money" on anything else?
9. Do you gamble until you lose all your money?
10. After losing, do you feel that you have to try and win back the losses as soon as possible?
11. If you run out of money when gambling, do you feel lost and in despair and feel the need to gamble again as soon as possible?
12. Do arguments, frustrations or disappointments make you want to gamble?
13. Does gambling make you depressed or even suicidal?
If you answered mostly "yes", please consider contacting one of the Gambling Counselling Organisations listed below for advice and support.
Know Your Limits
We have all pushed ourselves to the limit, at some point or another but if you find it becomes a common occurrence that you have exceeded your gambling budget, we have tools in place at Genesis Casino that can help you to stay on top of it:
Set daily, weekly or monthly restrictions so that you can take full control over your gambling spend.
Change your limits at any time. Decreases in deposit limits happen immediately, however, increases have a cooling-off period.
We provide all our players with tools to help control deposit limits, wager limits, loss limits and session limits. Set yourself daily, weekly or monthly restrictions in here and take full control over your gambling spend.
Setting a limit will only apply this to Genesis Casino. If you wish to apply this limit to all Genesis Global Limited casinos please contact customer support stating this instruction.
Please note: Limits cannot be applied retroactively therefore existing transactions on your account cannot be made void.
If you require any further information or assistance, please contact our customer support.
Closing your Account
If you feel like you need a break from the casino, you can close your account by clicking here.
You will be able to reopen your account at any time and everything will be just as you left it.
Self-exclusion
If you wish to take a more enforced break from gaming for a pre-determined period due to responsible gambling concerns, you can request to take a Time-out by clicking here.
If you feel that you need to take a more extensive period away from the casino as gambling is causing you any problems, you can Self-exclude by clicking here.
We would also like to make you aware that withdrawals will not be processed any faster and you will not be able to reopen your account at any time until your Time-out or self-exclusion period has elapsed.
The self-exclusion will be effective across all our casinos. Should you wish to re-open your account at the end of the self-exclusion, please contact us and a compulsory cool off period will be applied.
If you are considering self-exclusion, you may wish to register with GAMSTOP, which is a free service that enables you to self-exclude from all online gambling companies licensed in Great Britain.
