Responsible Gaming

Gambling at Spinit is intended for entertainment purposes only and should never be considered a source of income or financial solution. We are committed to promoting responsible gaming to ensure a safe and enjoyable environment for all players. Understanding the risks associated with gambling and adopting a responsible approach is essential in preventing harm.

Self-Control Tools

Spinit offers a variety of responsible gambling tools to help players maintain control over their gaming activities. These tools include:

• Deposit Limits: Players can set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits to control the amount of money they deposit into their account.
• Loss Limits: Players may establish loss limits that restrict the total amount they can lose within a specified time frame.
• Wagering Limits: Players can set limits on the amount they wager, which helps in managing their spending.
• Session Time Limits: Players have the option to set limits on the duration of their gaming sessions, encouraging breaks and reducing prolonged gameplay.
• Cooling-off Periods: Players can opt for a cooling-off period, during which they cannot access their account, allowing them to take a break from gambling.
• Self-Exclusion: The self-exclusion option allows players to voluntarily restrict themselves from accessing their account for a defined period or indefinitely.

These tools empower players to manage their gambling behavior effectively.

Self-Assessment

To assist players in identifying early signs of problematic gambling behavior, we have provided a structured list of reflective questions:

1. Do you often gamble more than you intended?
2. Have you ever felt the need to hide your gambling activities from friends or family?
3. Do you find yourself chasing losses, hoping to win back lost money?
4. Have you experienced feelings of anxiety, stress, or guilt related to your gambling?
5. Is gambling affecting your personal relationships or responsibilities at work or home?
6. Do you often lie about your gambling habits?
7. Are you using gambling as a way to escape from personal issues or stress?

If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, it may be time to evaluate your gambling habits and consider the available support options.

Protection of Minors

Spinit takes the protection of minors seriously. We have implemented robust safeguards and procedures to prevent underage access to our platform, which include:

• Age Verification: Players must provide valid identification to verify their age during the registration process.
• KYC Checks: Know Your Customer (KYC) checks are conducted to ensure that players are of legal age and to prevent underage gambling.

We encourage all players to be responsible and ensure that they are of legal age to participate in online gambling activities.

External Help

For players who may need additional support, Spinit encourages reaching out to professional organizations that specialize in gambling support. Some of these organizations include:

• GamCare: Provides information and advice to anyone affected by gambling.
• BeGambleAware: Offers support for individuals seeking help and guidance regarding gambling-related issues.
• Local support services in Australia that can provide assistance tailored to individual needs.

These resources offer confidential and non-judgmental support to those in need.
