Responsible Gambling
At Kaboom77, we are deeply committed to fostering a safe, responsible, and enjoyable online gaming environment for all our players. While we strive to provide world-class entertainment, we also recognise the potential risks associated with gambling and consider player well-being our paramount priority. This page outlines our comprehensive Responsible Gambling policy, providing you with the tools, information, and support necessary to maintain control over your gaming activity.
Our Commitment to Responsible Gambling
Kaboom77 firmly believes that gambling should always be a source of entertainment, not a financial burden or a cause of personal distress. We are dedicated to preventing problem gambling and ensuring that all our services are delivered in a socially responsible manner. Our policy is designed to empower you with the resources to manage your play effectively and seek assistance if you ever feel your gambling is becoming problematic.
Maintaining Control: Tips for Responsible Play
To help you maintain a positive and controlled gambling experience with Kaboom77, we recommend adhering to the following guidelines:
- Gamble for fun, not for profit: Treat gambling as entertainment, not a way to earn money or recover losses.
- Set limits: Decide on a budget and stick to it. Never bet more than you can comfortably afford to lose.
- Know when to stop: If you find yourself chasing losses or exceeding your planned budget, it's time to take a break.
- Time management: Be mindful of the time you spend gambling. Balance it with other activities.
- Avoid gambling under influence: Never gamble when you are stressed, depressed, or under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
- Do not borrow money to gamble: Only use disposable income for gambling.
Tools for Responsible Gambling at Kaboom77
Kaboom77 provides a range of self-help tools designed to help you manage your gaming activity proactively:
- Deposit Limits: You can set daily, weekly, or monthly limits on the amount of money you can deposit into your Kaboom77 account. Once a limit is reached, you will be unable to deposit further until the period resets.
- Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you are willing to lose over a specified period. This helps prevent significant financial losses.
- Wagering Limits: Control the total amount you can wager within a specific timeframe.
- Session Limits / Reality Check: Set a maximum duration for your gaming sessions. After this time, a reminder will pop up, and you may be logged out, encouraging a break.
- Take a Break (Cool-Off Period): If you need a short break from gambling, you can self-impose a cool-off period ranging from 24 hours to several weeks. During this time, you will not be able to deposit or play, but you can still log in and withdraw funds.
- Self-Exclusion: For a more significant break, you can request self-exclusion for a period of six months, one year, five years, or even permanently. During self-exclusion, your Kaboom77 account will be closed, and we will take all reasonable steps to prevent you from opening new accounts. You will not receive any promotional material.
To set or adjust any of these limits, please visit the "Responsible Gambling" section in your account profile or contact our dedicated Customer Support team for assistance.
Protecting Minors
Kaboom77 strictly prohibits anyone under the age of 18 from registering an account or participating in any gambling activities. We utilise robust age verification procedures, and any accounts found to belong to minors will be immediately closed, and any winnings forfeited. We encourage parents and guardians to use filtering software to prevent minors from accessing gambling sites.
Some recommended filtering software:
- Net Nanny: www.netnanny.com
- CyberPatrol: www.cyberpatrol.com
Recognising Problem Gambling
It's important to be aware of the signs of problem gambling. Ask yourself the following questions honestly:
- Do you spend more money and time gambling than you can afford?
- Do you try to win back losses with more gambling?
- Do you hide your gambling from your partner, friends, or family?
- Have others criticised your gambling?
- Do you feel anxious, worried, guilty, or depressed because of your gambling?
- Is gambling interfering with your work, studies, or other responsibilities?
If you answered yes to one or more of these questions, it may indicate a gambling problem, and we strongly advise you to seek help.
