Responsible Gaming

Introduction

At Verywell Casino, we believe that gaming should be enjoyed as entertainment only. Gambling is not a reliable way to earn money or solve financial problems. It should never be viewed as an investment, job, or source of income. We encourage all our players to gamble responsibly and within their means.

Age Verification

You must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction) to use Verywell Casino. We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of age at any time. If you are under the legal age, please do not register or attempt to gamble.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

If you recognise any of the following signs in yourself or someone you know, it may indicate a problem with gambling:

• Spending more time or money on gambling than intended
• Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
• Hiding gambling activities or lying about the amount wagered
• Gambling to escape problems, stress, or negative emotions
• Borrowing money to fund gambling activities
• Neglecting family, work, or other important responsibilities
• Feeling anxious or irritable when unable to gamble
• Repeatedly attempting to stop or reduce gambling without success
• Experiencing relationship conflicts due to gambling
• Having financial difficulties as a result of gambling

Self-Help Tools

Verywell Casino provides several tools to help you maintain control of your gaming:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific time period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
• Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to lose during a gaming session
• Reality Checks: Receive periodic reminders during gameplay showing how long you've been playing and how much you've wagered
• Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from your account, preventing access to gaming for a period you choose
• Account Closure: Close your account if you wish to stop gambling entirely

We encourage you to use these tools to help manage your gaming responsibly.
