Responsible Gaming

What is Responsible Gaming?

Responsible gaming is a commitment to ensuring that casino entertainment remains safe, fair, and enjoyable for all players. At Doxa Open University, we believe that gambling should be a form of entertainment with strict boundaries, never a way to make money or solve financial problems. Responsible gaming involves understanding the risks, setting limits, and knowing when to seek help.

Our mission is to promote a culture of awareness and accountability within the gaming industry. We encourage all players to gamble within their means and to view any losses as the cost of entertainment, not something to be recovered through continued play.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can develop gradually and may affect anyone. It is important to recognize the warning signs early. If you or someone you know exhibits any of the following behaviors, please seek help immediately:

Self-Exclusion Tools

Most reputable casinos offer self-exclusion programs that allow you to voluntarily restrict your access to gaming platforms. Self-exclusion is a powerful tool that can help you take control of your gambling habits.

How Self-Exclusion Works: Once you activate self-exclusion, you will be unable to access your account or create new accounts at participating casinos. Self-exclusion periods typically range from 6 months to permanent, giving you time to reflect and seek support if needed. During this period, you will not receive marketing communications or promotional offers.

To activate self-exclusion, contact your casino's customer support team or visit your account settings. We recommend informing a trusted family member or friend about your decision for additional accountability.

Deposit Limits

Setting deposit limits is one of the most effective ways to control your gambling expenditure. Deposit limits allow you to cap the amount of money you can deposit into your casino account during a specified period – whether daily, weekly, or monthly.

We strongly recommend setting a deposit limit that aligns with your entertainment budget. Once you reach your limit, you will be unable to deposit additional funds until the period resets. This tool helps prevent overspending and impulsive decisions made in the heat of the moment.

Support and Helpline Numbers

If you believe you may have a problem with gambling, please reach out to one of these trusted organizations:

Age Verification: 18+ Only

We are committed to protecting minors from gambling harm. All players must be at least 18 years of age to register and participate in casino gaming. Age verification is mandatory during account creation, and we conduct regular compliance checks to ensure this policy is enforced.

If you are under 18, please do not attempt to register. If you are a parent or guardian concerned about a young person's gambling, contact GamCare or BeGambleAware for guidance and support.

Your Responsibility

Responsible gaming is a shared responsibility between players and casinos. We encourage you to gamble responsibly, know your limits, and seek help when needed. Your wellbeing is our priority.
