Responsible gambling at GameSpot
Play within firm limits
Gambling should remain entertainment. Set a budget and playing time before you start, and do not try to recover losses through further bets. Do not play when you are under pressure, tired or emotionally distressed.
Available protection options
Limits and reality checks may be offered in the account. Cooling-off periods of 24 hours, 7 days, 1 month and 2 months are stated. Self-exclusion may be set for at least six months. Always check the exact choices and effects in the account before confirming a setting.
| Option | Stated period |
|---|---|
| Cooling-off period | 24 hours, 7 days, 1 month or 2 months |
| Self-exclusion | at least 6 months |
| Reality check | regular reminder while using the service |
| Limits | limits configurable in the account |
When you need a break
A break is sensible if gambling affects your budget, daily life or relationships. Activate a cooling-off period or self-exclusion before you play again. Where needed, ask someone you trust or an independent advice service for support.
For a question about account settings, use the help chat in the signed-in area. See bonus terms for information about bonus funds; never treat a bonus offer as a reason to stake more than planned.
