Responsible Gambling

Gambling should stay a form of entertainment you choose and control. This page explains the risks, the warning signs and the tools in your account, and where to get help if gambling stops being fun.

Understanding gambling risks

Before you play, it helps to be clear about what casino games are and what they are not.

  • Gambling involves financial risk. Only play with money you can afford to lose.
  • Game results are random. They are produced by certified random number generators or by live dealing, and past results do not influence the next round.
  • Winning is never certain. Over time, every casino game favours the house.
  • Gambling is not a way to earn money or to solve financial problems.

Recognising warning signs

Problem gambling usually develops gradually. If you recognise yourself in one or more of these points, it is a good moment to pause and use the tools below.

  • You spend more money on gambling than you planned, or the amounts keep growing.
  • You keep playing to win back money you have lost.
  • You lose track of time and play longer than you intended.
  • Gambling causes financial difficulties, debts or borrowing.
  • You hide your gambling from family, friends or your partner.

Limits

Setting personal limits

You can set your limits in your account at any time, as daily, weekly or monthly amounts. We recommend setting them before you make your first deposit.

Deposit limits

Decide how much money you can pay into your account per day, week or month. Once the limit is reached, further deposits are blocked until the period ends.

Loss limits

Set the maximum net loss you accept within a period. When you reach it, you cannot place further bets until the period resets.

Time limits

Limit how long you can play per session or per period. When your time is up, your session ends, which helps you keep gambling within your daily routine.

Lowering a limit takes effect immediately. Raising or removing a limit takes effect only after a waiting period of 7 days, so that the decision is not made in the heat of the moment.

Personal limits

Taking a break

If you feel you need some distance, you can pause your account for 24 hours, 7 days or 30 days. During the break you cannot play or make deposits, and your account becomes available for play again when the period ends.

A break is a quick, low-threshold option, for example after a losing session or during a stressful time. If you find you need breaks more and more often, consider self-exclusion and talk to one of the help services listed below.

Self-exclusion

Self-exclusion (Spielsperre) is a voluntary block that stops you from playing for a longer period. You can request it in your account or by writing to responsible@g359.slonik.store. Exclusions are shared with other Swiss casinos through the national exclusion register, so a self-exclusion also affects your access to other Swiss casinos.

You can ask for a self-exclusion to be lifted no earlier than 3 months after it was set. Lifting it is not automatic: it requires a review, in which we check whether the reasons for the exclusion no longer apply.

Besides voluntary self-exclusion, Swiss casinos impose exclusions themselves when the law requires it, for example when there are signs that a player can no longer control their gambling or its financial consequences. Imposed exclusions are also shared through the national exclusion register.

Player protection

As a licensed Swiss casino, we are required to protect players, and we take this as part of our daily work, not as a formality. Before anyone can play, we verify their identity and age, and we make sure that each person has only one account.

We monitor gaming activity for patterns that may indicate risky behaviour, such as rapidly rising deposits, very long sessions or frequent changes to limits. If we notice such signs, we may contact you, recommend limits or, where necessary, restrict or exclude your account.

  • Age and identity verification for every player
  • One account per person, payouts only to your own account
  • Monitoring of gaming behaviour and personal contact where needed
  • Limits, breaks and self-exclusion available in every account
