Responsible Gaming at Curacao: Play Safe, Stay in Control
At Curacao, we are committed to providing a safe, fair, and enjoyable gaming environment for all our players. Responsible gaming is about maintaining control, making informed choices, and ensuring that gambling remains a fun and entertaining activity—never a source of harm.
What Is Responsible Gaming?
Responsible gaming means playing within your limits, understanding the risks, and using available tools to keep your experience positive. We encourage all players to treat gambling as a leisure activity, not a way to solve financial problems or escape stress.
Recognizing Problem Gambling
Problem gambling occurs when betting habits become difficult to control and start to negatively impact your life. Warning signs may include:
- Spending more money or time on gambling than intended
- Chasing losses or gambling to recover previous losses
- Neglecting work, family, or personal responsibilities
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or depressed after gambling
- Hiding your gambling activity from others
If you recognize any of these behaviors in yourself or someone you know, it’s important to seek help early.
Tips for Safe and Responsible Play
- Set Personal Limits: Use our tools to set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit, loss, and session limits before you start playing. This helps you stay within your budget and avoid excessive spending.
- Manage Your Time: Set time limits for your gaming sessions and take regular breaks to keep your experience enjoyable and balanced.
- Self-Assessment: Regularly review your gaming habits. Ask yourself if you’re spending more than you can afford or gambling to escape problems. Honest self-checks help you stay in control.
- Never Chase Losses: Accept losses as part of the game. Trying to win back lost money can lead to bigger problems.
- Keep Gambling Fun: Treat gambling as entertainment, not a way to make money or solve financial issues.
Responsible Gaming Tools at Curacao
We provide a range of tools to help you manage your gaming:
- Deposit and Loss Limits: Set how much you can deposit or lose over a chosen period.
- Session Time Limits: Control how long you can play in a single session.
- Self-Exclusion: Take a break from gambling by temporarily or permanently excluding yourself from the platform. During this period, your account will be inaccessible.
- Self-Assessment Test: Use our self-evaluation tool to check if your gambling habits are healthy and get advice based on your results.
