Responsible Gaming at Maximum Casino

Gambling always involves risk. You may lose money. Keep control and protect your finances and feelings.

On Maximum Casino, you can manage your behaviour using built-in tools and practical tips.

• Set a clear budget before you start playing. Never use money for rent, bills, or essentials.
• Decide a time limit. Use reality checks and session reminders to stay on track.
• Use deposit, loss, and wagering limits to control spend.
• Take short breaks and use time-out if play stops feeling fun.
• Review your activity statements to learn how you play and spot patterns.
• Opt out of marketing if offers make control harder.
• Keep alcohol and drugs out of gambling sessions.
• Only gamble if you can afford the loss. Do not chase losses.
• Consider affordability checks and set lower limits if your circumstances change.

Warning signs can be subtle at first. Look for changes in money, mood, and time spent gambling.

Key indicators include:

• Spending more than you can afford or missing payments.
• Chasing losses or increasing stakes to recoup money.
• Hiding gambling from family or friends.
• Borrowing, selling items, or using credit to fund betting.
• Restlessness or irritability when you cut down or stop.
• Gambling to escape stress, anxiety, or low mood.
• Neglecting work, studies, or relationships.
• Repeated failed attempts to reduce or stop playing.
• Lying about time or money spent on gambling.
• Feeling guilt, shame, or losing interest in other activities.

Gambling addiction is a serious condition. It needs prompt attention and support.

Regaining control is possible. Use structured tools and supportive habits to limit risk and protect your wellbeing.

• Set deposit, loss, and session limits before you play.
• Turn on reality checks and stick to the time shown.
• Take a time-out for at least 24 hours when you feel pressure.
• Use self-exclusion on Maximum Casino and add GAMSTOP for nationwide blocking.
• Install blocking software such as Gamban or BetBlocker on your devices.
• Keep a record of wins and losses to understand true spend.
• Tell someone you trust and ask for accountability support.
• Remove saved payment methods to slow down impulsive play.
• Avoid gambling when tired, stressed, or after drinking.
• Speak to GamCare or your GP for professional support.

These steps are effective prevention measures and can support recovery.
