Responsible Gaming

Gambling is entertainment you pay for with risk, not a way to earn money. In a crash game a round lasts just a few seconds, and that fast pace makes it easy to lose track of time and of the money spent. Below is a short self-check and some practical steps that help keep play within limits.

Self-check test

Answer "yes" or "no" honestly to each question, thinking about the last few months.

• Do you play for longer or with larger amounts than you planned?
• Do you try to win your money back straight after a loss?
• Have you borrowed money or taken a loan to keep playing?
• Do you hide from people close to you how much time or money you spend on gambling?
• Do you feel irritated or anxious when you cannot play?
• Do your work, studies, sleep or relationships suffer because of gambling?
• Do you see gambling as a way to solve money problems?
• Have you tried to cut down on gambling but failed?

How to set limits

• Budget in advance. Decide on an amount you are prepared to lose without hurting your everyday spending, and do not top up your account beyond it.
• Limits in the operator account. Licensed operators let you cap deposits per day, week or month, as well as session length. Lowering a limit usually takes effect at once; raising it comes with a delay.
• A timer. Decide beforehand how many minutes you will play and set a reminder on your phone.
• Decide before the round. Choose the multiplier at which you will cash out, and do not change that decision mid-game.
• Keep winnings apart. Withdraw what you win instead of putting it all back into play.
• The right state of mind. Do not play when tired, after drinking, under stress or to drown out bad feelings.

Self-exclusion and the state register

If limits alone are not enough, you can arrange a temporary break or a long-term self-exclusion in your operator account. During that period, access to play with that operator is closed, and as a rule the restriction cannot be lifted early.

Ukraine also has a state register of persons restricted from gambling. It is maintained by the state gambling regulator, and anyone can apply to have themselves added to it. Licensed operators are required to check the register and must not allow listed persons to play.

Where to find support

• Talk to someone close to you whom you trust: a problem is easier to tackle when someone else knows about it.
• Look for an anonymous peer-support group for people with a gambling addiction; such groups meet both in person and online.
• See a doctor or a psychologist. Gambling addiction is a recognised disorder that can be treated.
• If you have thoughts of self-harm, seek emergency medical help immediately.

Age limit 21+

Under Ukrainian law, gambling is allowed only from the age of 21. If there are minors in your family, do not leave devices with an open player account unattended, do not save passwords in the browser, and use parental controls. To learn more about how the site works, see the About page.
