Casino Of Dreams Responsible Gambling
Gambling should always be viewed as a form of entertainment, not as a strategy for earning income or solving financial problems. At Casino Of Dreams we promote a responsible approach to play, encouraging customers to enjoy games with clear expectations, sensible limits and an awareness of the risks involved.
This page explains the steps we take to protect players, the tools available to manage play, signs that gambling may be becoming problematic, and sources of independent help. Our aim is to provide clear, practical guidance so players can make informed decisions about their activity on our site.
Our Commitment to Responsible Gambling
Casino Of Dreams is committed to creating a safe environment where customers can enjoy gaming responsibly. We combine proactive account monitoring, staff training and accessible support options to identify and respond to potential harm. Our policies are designed to reduce risk and to act promptly when a customer displays patterns that may indicate distress.
We expect our players to gamble within their means and to use the safeguards we provide. Our compliance team reviews account activity and can intervene where necessary to offer help or to impose protective measures. We also present clear information about tools and external support so that players can take control of their behaviour.
Recognising Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually and may affect anyone. Recognising the early signs helps to act before harm escalates. The indicators listed below are not exhaustive, but they are common signals that gambling may be becoming difficult to manage:
- Increasing frequency of play or progressively higher stakes without corresponding enjoyment.
- Chasing losses with larger bets in an attempt to recover money.
- Neglecting work, family or social obligations in favour of gambling sessions.
- Borrowing money, selling possessions or using credit to fund gambling activity.
- Feelings of anxiety, guilt or depression linked directly to gambling outcomes.
- Secrecy about gambling activity or frequently hiding losses from friends and family.
If a player recognises one or more of these signs in themselves or someone they care about, we recommend taking immediate steps to limit play and to seek professional guidance.
Self-Assessment and Limits
We provide a range of self-assessment and limit-setting options to help customers manage their play. These features are intended to give players practical control and to reduce the risk of harm. Players should consider using one or more of the measures listed below if they want to better regulate their activity.
- Deposit limits - set daily, weekly or monthly caps on the amount of money that can be deposited to an account.
- Loss limits - establish maximum permitted losses over a chosen time period to contain financial exposure.
- Reality checks - session reminders that notify players of elapsed time and encourage breaks from play.
- Cooling-off periods - short-term suspensions that temporarily prevent access to an account for a defined timeframe.
- Self-exclusion - longer-term account closure options that block play for an extended period or indefinitely.
Responsible Gaming Tools
Casino Of Dreams provides a suite of tools designed to assist customers in maintaining control. These resources are straightforward to activate and can be adjusted to meet individual needs.
- Account limits - customizable deposit and loss caps that can be changed only after a cooling-off interval.
- Time management features - session timers and reality checks that prompt players to review their activity.
- Self-service account controls - options to apply temporary time-outs or long-term self-exclusion through the account settings area.
- Transaction history and play statements - accessible records that help players review their deposits, wagers and outcomes.
- Notifications and alerts - messages when limit thresholds are approached or when unusual patterns are detected.
Support and Assistance
If gambling becomes difficult to control, we encourage players to seek support promptly. Early engagement with trained professionals can reduce harm and provide practical coping strategies. Casino Of Dreams can help facilitate access to support, but independent organisations provide specialist treatment and confidential advice.
You can contact our support team by email at [email protected]. For independent help, please consider the following external organisations:
- GamCare - information, counselling and support for people harmed by gambling.
- BeGambleAware - prevention resources and guidance for safer play.
- GAMSTOP - a national self-exclusion program that blocks access to participating online gambling sites.
National Gambling Helpline - 0808 8020 133 - is a free, confidential support service available 24 hours a day for anyone affected by gambling. The organisations listed above are independent external support services and are not partners or services operated by Casino Of Dreams.
Underage Gambling
Casino Of Dreams permits account registration and access only for individuals aged 18 or older. The minimum age for participation on this website is 18+. We employ age verification checks and maintain procedures to detect and prevent underage use. If you suspect that someone under 18 is using this site, please contact our support team or use the site reporting functions to alert us immediately.
Parental Controls
Parents and guardians play a vital role in preventing underage gambling. We recommend several practical measures to limit exposure and to protect children and young people:
- Enable device-level parental controls and use family-safe settings on smartphones, tablets and computers.
- Install reputable blocking or filtering software to restrict access to gambling websites and apps.
- Discuss the risks of gambling with children and model healthy attitudes towards money and entertainment.
- Review payment methods and remove stored card details from family devices to reduce accidental access.
- Use national self-exclusion services where available to block access across multiple operators.
These steps, combined with open communication, are the most effective way to reduce the chance that minors will access gambling content.
Tips for Staying in Control
The following practical actions can help maintain a positive relationship with gambling and reduce the likelihood of harm. Consider adopting several of these measures as part of your routine.
- Set a budget before you play and treat gambling funds as part of your entertainment spending - not as income.
- Use deposit and loss limits to control spending, and review them regularly to ensure they remain appropriate.
- Schedule time limits for sessions and respect reality check prompts that remind you to take breaks.
- Avoid gambling when feeling upset, stressed or under pressure to make decisions you might later regret.
- Keep a record of play sessions and financial transactions so you can review patterns objectively.
- Never borrow money to gamble or use funds intended for essential bills or living costs.
- Talk to friends, family or support services if you notice changes in your behaviour or mood related to gambling.
Changes to This Policy
We review our responsible gambling information and the tools we offer on a regular basis to reflect best practice and to respond to customer needs. Amendments will be published on this page and made available through our help centre or account notifications where appropriate. If you have questions about our approach or would like further information about available safeguards, please use the support channels provided on the site.
