Responsible Gambling | WinCraft

WinCraft’s goal is to ensure that gambling remains a joy, not a burden. We provide a safe environment, along with tools and support for those who want to stay in control of their play, as well as for those who may already need help.

1. What Does Responsible Gambling Mean?

Responsible gambling is a series of conscious decisions: treating gambling as entertainment, within pre-set limits, and stopping when necessary. It is not a source of income, not an escape from problems, but relaxation with boundaries.

2. Quick Self-Check

Ask yourself these questions:

  • Do you often spend more than you planned?
  • Has gambling harmed your work, studies, or relationships?
  • Do you hide how much you play or spend?
  • Do you get irritated if you cannot play?
  • Do you try to “win back” your losses?

If you answered yes to several, it is advisable to set limits right away or talk to someone.

3. WinCraft Tools for Control

In your account under “Security / Responsible Gambling” or through customer support, you can:

  • Deposit limits – set daily, weekly, or monthly caps. Reductions take effect immediately, increases only after 24 hours.
  • Time limits and reminders – define daily playtime; reminders notify you when nearing the limit.
  • Temporary breaks – 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During this time you cannot log in and no promotions are sent.
  • Full self-exclusion – indefinite blocking of your account, only lifted upon a verified written request.

These tools work best together: if unsure, start with a deposit limit and then add a break.

4. Protection of Minors

The service is not available to anyone under 18. Age declaration is required at registration, and KYC before withdrawals. For home protection we recommend parental control tools: Net Nanny, Qustodio, Norton Family, Google Family Link. These significantly reduce the risk of unauthorized access.

5. External Help if Needed

6. Simple, Effective Tips

  • Only play when calm; avoid gambling under alcohol or drugs.
  • Take breaks, set timers.
  • Do not try to make a living from gambling.
  • Do not chase losses.
  • If you are having a bad day, stop. Tomorrow is another day.

These may sound simple, but they are the most effective in the long run.

7. For Family Members

Problem gambling affects families too. Warning signs may include secrecy, unexplained financial problems, frequent borrowing, irritability. Stay calm, do not finance the gambling, encourage seeking help, and look for a support group or professional. You are not alone.
