Gambling is enjoyed by millions of people around the world every day. Most people will never experience any type of problems when gambling, be it online or offline. But, for a select group of people, gambling can become an addiction, as problematic as narcotic or alcohol addition. Statistically, 1 percent of the population is addicted to gambling. At Online-Casino, a single compulsive gambler on our website is one too many.
It is very difficult, and usually impossible, to determine if someone will develop a gambling disorder but once identified, the problem can be treated.
Online-Casino is dedicated to promoting responsible gaming. Although it may be hard to detect, we have implemented a number of measures to address the problem of compulsive gambling:
- Online-Casino has a team of trained staff that incorporates methods and techniques to recognize and take appropriate action when a compulsive or underage gambler is identified.
- We also utilize a self-eviction program for people who recognize the disorder in themselves. Players can send us a request and we will terminate your membership immediately and prevent you from entering the casino.
- You can see your maximum allowed deposit and budget appropriately.
- Send us a request and your name will be taken off our email list.
To maximize your experience at Online-Casino, we strongly recommend the following:
- Do not gamble if you feel like it is not your own personal choice.
- Set an acceptable loss amount and stick to it.
- Do NOT gamble if:
- You are below the legal age requirement.
- It begins to interfere with your life, job, or family.
- You are prone to addictive disorders or have a compulsive personality.
- You are playing under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
- You are trying to win back previous gambling losses.
Knowing how to set limits and stop is key when it comes to gambling. Gambling, in moderation, is a great pastime but, done in excess, can be a severe problem.
If you feel like you or a loved one needs help, the following organizations can help:
Underage Gambling
A player must be 18 years of age to gamble at Online-Casino.com. Gambling by people under the age of 18 is against the law in Gibraltar, where Online-Casino is licensed.
The casino is, in no way, designed to tempt children. We severely discourage and trace minors who try to gamble at our casino.
Underage gambling is not taken lightly by Online-Casino.com.
If minors have access to a personal computer with our casino software, we strongly advise you to:
- Install child protection and safety software.
- Never leave minors unattended when the casino software is on.
- Install a password prompt to your casino program.
- Not encourage underage minors to participate in any type of gambling.
- Hide your Online-Casino.com username and password information.
- Inform your children about the legality and repurcussions of underage gambling.
However, no system is completely foolproof. There is the possibility that underage gamblers will not be detected by the Online-Casino staff. If you know a minor that is playing at Online-Casino, please notify our Security Department at:
