THE MAIN POINTS ABOUT RESPONSIBLE GAMING ON RUMMYHUT

RUMMYHUT has always advocated and promoted a responsible approach to gaming. We stress that gaming is not a method of making money, but one of the many ways of having fun on the internet. However, despite this, some players have difficulties with self-control and gaming addiction.

Sports betting and online casino gambling should never be seen as a reliable source of income; this is a basic principle of playing responsibly. You cannot be sure of winning and no strategy delivers such a guarantee, so remember that results depend on luck alone.

If you neglect this, you may lose control of your budget and playing which can negatively impact your financial situation.

MAINTAINING CONTROL

Gambling addiction has detrimental consequences for you and the people around you. It can be difficult to get out of it. The most important thing we can do is to support gamblers and provide them with additional options for help. We can also give some useful tips on responsible gambling:

  • Gambling is just a way to relax and have fun, not a source of income;
  • Do not gamble in a state of euphoria and only make decisions with a clear mind;
  • Keep a tally of your winnings and losses;
  • Never gamble for debt or to win back;
  • Set certain limits on how much money you can spend on gambling and stay within those limits.

By following these tips you can minimize the risk of becoming addicted to gambling.

SIGNS OF GAMBLING ADDICTION

To prevent the development of an addiction, you can take a test of simple questions. Doing a self-test will give you a sobering view of the situation. The questions are listed below:

  • Have you ever been told that you gamble a lot?
  • Have you missed important events or work because of gambling?
  • Does the desire to gamble increase after quarrels or frustrations?
  • Do you gamble because real life seems boring?
  • Are you willing to bet more and more money to win back your losses?
  • Do you play alone for long periods of time?
  • Have you ever lied to loved ones to get money for gambling?
  • Do you gamble until you have lost your last money?

If you answered yes to at least 2 questions, we recommend that you consider getting help from someone close to you or one of the specialized organizations.

If the duration of the requested restriction is not specified, the Betting Company will set the duration of restriction of access to your Personal Account.
  12. If the Client is concerned about their gambling and, after thinking about the situation, feels that they cannot control it and play responsibly, they can employ the “self-exclusion” procedure.
  13. Self-exclusion is a procedure whereby one voluntarily sets a period of time during which they will not be able to use the Services of the Betting Company’s Website or place bets. This can be set from 6 months to 5 years. There is also a possibility to self-exclude from gambling on a permanent basis. When deciding to use this option, the Client should be aware of the following:
    1. You will not be able to make deposits or place bets on the Betting Company’s website for the duration of this time.
    2. The decision to self-exclude is made by you, but is binding on the Betting Company under the provisions of these Responsible Gambling Regulations.

    3. For your protection, to ensure that you cannot use the services of the Betting Company and are able to beat your addiction, during the self-exclusion period, the Betting Company monitors and closes any other Personal Accounts relating to you and/or Personal Accounts to which you have gained access. The Betting Company is not responsible for any financial losses incurred by individuals who have opened any accounts after they have self-excluded.
    4. If you have a positive balance in your account, you can withdraw your funds after self-exclusion.
    5. The Betting Company recommends that you update your contact details (address or telephone number) in your Personal Account so that the Betting Company can take protective measures against you opening new accounts with new contact details. If erroneous or incomplete information is provided or your details are not updated, the Betting Company cannot be held responsible for any subsequent losses or other circumstances arising from these actions.
    6. If you decide to use the Betting Company’s Services after the end of the self-exclusion period, the Betting Company may, at its sole discretion, refuse to resume cooperation with you.
  14. As a socially responsible gambling organization, the Betting Company will make every effort to ensure that your request to close access to your Personal Account/Self-Exclusion is honoured at the earliest opportunity. However, depending on the chosen method of contacting the Betting Company, the time taken to complete your request may vary. Therefore, the Betting Company is not responsible for any financial losses incurred by any party prior to the closure of the Personal Account or the commencement of the self-exclusion period.
  15. Blocking of the Client’s access to their Personal Account / their self-exclusion period will take effect after the Client has received confirmation from the Betting Company’s Support Team. If access to the Client’s Personal Account has not been disabled at their request or the self-exclusion has not taken effect, the Client should contact the Betting Company’s Support Team immediately by phone so that the matter can be resolved without delay.
  16. The Betting Company reserves the right to collect statistics on the behaviour of Clients and to take measures to identify Clients who are prone to addiction or addicted to gambling. If such Clients are identified, the Betting Company can decide to restrict their access to the services of the Betting Company in order to protect the Client from addiction or to prevent the occurrence of addiction to gambling.
  17. The Betting Company does not allow minors to gamble. The Betting Company does not advertise gambling or services to minors or mentally impaired people.
