Keeping Play in Proportion with Slotrave
Gambling with us is paid entertainment for adults: 18+ and of the legal age in your country. The money you deposit should be money you can spare for fun, never money meant for rent, bills or family, and play is never a way to earn an income or to win back what you have lost. Because our pages are built around the cashier, we want the same clarity here: decide your budget and your playing time before the first deposit, not in the middle of a session.
Below you will find the warning signs that matter, the tools we can set on your account, where independent help is available, how to protect your account and how to keep children and teenagers in your household away from gambling.
Warning Signs Worth Taking Seriously
Problems with gambling tend to build up gradually. Take it seriously if you notice any of the following in yourself:
- you deposit again soon after a loss to win the money back;
- you spend more money or more time than you planned before you started;
- you hide your play or your spending from people close to you;
- you borrow money, sell belongings or delay bills so that you can keep playing;
- you feel restless or irritable when you try to stop or take a break;
- gambling takes up time you used to spend on work, sleep, friends or family.
One sign alone is a reason to pause and talk to someone you trust.
Account Tools We Can Set for You
As a rule, these tools are requested through our live chat or by e-mail rather than switched on in a self-service menu.
| Tool | What it does | What to tell us |
|---|---|---|
| Deposit limit | Typically available to cap how much you can pay into your account | The amount you want as your ceiling |
| Cooling-off | Usually offered as a time-out that pauses your access to play | That you want a time-out |
| Self-exclusion | As a rule, available to exclude yourself from playing with us | That you want to exclude yourself |
Ask for a tool when you feel calm and in control, not after a loss.
Gamblers Anonymous Meeting Formats
Gamblers Anonymous is an independent organisation whose meetings take place in three formats.
| Format | How it works | Who it may suit |
|---|---|---|
| In person | You meet a local group face to face | People who want regular, personal contact |
| Virtual | You join a group meeting online | People without a group nearby |
| Telephone | You take part by phone | People who prefer to listen first without being seen |
Support Beyond Our Account Tools
Our tools set limits inside your account, but lasting change often needs support from outside it. Good places to turn to are:
- a Gamblers Anonymous meeting in the format that suits you;
- the gambling help line or counselling service in your own country;
- your doctor, who can point you to local treatment;
- a person you trust, who can help you stick to the budget you set.
Protecting Your Account and Device
You control much of the safety of your account yourself. You sign in with your e-mail address and a password, so choose a password you use nowhere else and do not share it with anyone. The connection to our pages is typically protected with SSL/TLS encryption. Sign out after every session on a shared computer or phone, and do not let your browser store your password on a device that other people use. If you suspect someone else has used your account, change your password at once and tell our team through live chat or by e-mail.
When Someone Close to You Gambles
Gambling problems affect partners, parents and friends as well. If you are worried about someone, these steps can help:
- talk to them calmly at a quiet moment and describe what you have noticed, without blame;
- avoid lending money or paying off gambling debts, as this keeps the cycle going;
- protect your own money, for example with separate accounts for household costs;
- look for support for yourself through the help line or counselling service in your country.
Keeping Minors Away from Gambling
Our games are only for people who are 18+ and of the legal age in their country. As a rule, players confirm their age when they sign up. If children or teenagers live with you, lock your phone and computer with a code they do not know and sign out of your account when you finish. Our site can usually be added to a phone’s home screen as a web app, so keep that shortcut off devices that young people use. Do not save card details or passwords on a shared device, and talk openly with young people about why gambling is not a game for them.
