Keeping control of your play on our site
Our commitment to safer play at Welle Casino
We provide casino games as entertainment for adults. Our responsibility is to keep that entertainment clear, controlled and supported by practical safer-gambling tools. We want you to understand the risks before depositing, set personal boundaries before play escalates, and contact our support team when gambling no longer feels manageable.
Responsible gambling is part of how we operate your account. We use age checks, identity checks, account limits, cooling-off periods, self-exclusion options, marketing controls and account reviews to help protect players. If account activity suggests possible harm, our support team may contact you, request information, recommend safer-gambling tools, or apply account restrictions in line with our obligations and account terms.
Entertainment only, never income
Gambling must never be treated as a job, investment, income source, savings plan or way to solve financial pressure. Every wager carries financial risk. Winnings are never guaranteed, and previous results do not create a right to future wins.
Do not gamble with money needed for rent, bills, food, debt repayments, healthcare, education or family responsibilities. Do not borrow money to play. Do not increase stakes because you feel a win is “due”. Chasing losses can turn entertainment into unsafe gambling very quickly.
Before you play, decide:
- how much money you can afford to lose;
- how long you intend to play;
- which deposit, loss, wager and session limits suit your budget;
- when you will stop, whether you are winning or losing.
If you feel pressure to recover losses, hide play, or continue after reaching your limit, stop playing and consider cooling-off, self-exclusion or external support.
Age, identity and eligibility checks
You must be at least 18 years old, or the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction if that age is higher. Minors must not create an account, deposit, play games, claim promotions or use another person’s account.
We may request documents or information to confirm age, identity, address, payment ownership or other account details. These checks help prevent underage gambling and support compliance with applicable rules. If required checks are not completed, account functions may be limited while the review is handled.
Adults who share a device or household with children should use practical protections, including:
- device passwords and screen locks;
- separate user profiles;
- parental-control settings;
- spending controls on shared devices;
- blocking or filtering tools that restrict gambling content.
Do not share your login details with anyone. If you believe a minor has accessed your account, contact our support team immediately.
Limits that help you control deposits, losses, wagers and sessions
Our account controls include deposit limits, bet limits and session limits. You can check available controls in your account area or ask our support team for help applying safer-gambling restrictions.
| Control | What it helps manage | How to use it responsibly |
|---|---|---|
| Deposit limit | The amount you can add to your account over a selected period | Set this before your first deposit and base it on disposable entertainment money only. |
| Loss limit | The amount you are prepared to lose over a selected period | Use this to protect your budget and avoid continuing after losses feel uncomfortable. |
| Wager or bet limit | The stake level or betting activity connected to your play | Keep stakes proportionate to your balance and avoid increasing them to recover losses. |
| Session limit | The time you spend logged in or playing | Use this if you lose track of time, play late at night, or struggle to stop at a planned point. |
Limits work best when they are realistic and set early. A limit should not be the maximum you can technically spend; it should be the amount you are genuinely comfortable losing without stress or financial consequence.
Reality checks while you play
Reality checks help you pause and review your gambling activity. They are there to interrupt automatic play, bring your attention back to time and spending, and give you a chance to stop before decisions become emotional.
When you see a reality check, ask yourself:
- Am I still playing for entertainment?
- Have I gone beyond the time I planned?
- Am I calm enough to make good decisions?
- Would I be comfortable stopping now?
- Am I trying to recover losses?
A reality check is not an interruption to ignore. It is a chance to step away, review your balance, and decide whether continuing is still safe for you.
Cooling-off and self-exclusion when you need a break
If you need time away from gambling, you can use cooling-off or self-exclusion options. These tools are designed for different levels of risk.
You can request a 24-hour cooling-off period when you need a short break from play. This can help when you feel tired, frustrated, emotional or tempted to continue after losses.
Self-exclusion is a stronger control for players who need a defined break from gambling. Self-exclusion options include 7 days, 30 days, and longer exclusions of 2 months or more through our support team.
During a cooling-off or self-exclusion period, account access, deposits, gameplay and promotional contact may be restricted according to the selected control and account terms. If gambling feels difficult to control, we also encourage you to contact an external support organisation.
Marketing preferences during safer-gambling controls
You can ask to stop receiving promotional messages such as bonus emails, text messages, push notifications or other marketing communications. Marketing opt-out is especially important if promotions make it harder for you to control your play.
When a self-exclusion applies, promotional contact should not encourage continued gambling. If you receive a message that concerns you, contact our support team so we can review your preferences and account status.
Marketing preferences do not replace deposit limits, loss limits, cooling-off or self-exclusion. If promotional material creates pressure to gamble, combine marketing opt-out with account-level restrictions.
Changing your limits safely
You can manage available limit settings in your account area or ask our support team for help. Lower limits should apply quickly where possible because they reduce risk. Requests to increase or remove limits may involve a delay, review or additional confirmation.
This approach helps prevent impulsive changes during emotional play, after losses, or during a period of financial stress.
Before increasing a limit, consider:
- why you want the change;
- whether you recently lost more than planned;
- whether your income or financial responsibilities have changed;
- whether a trusted person would agree the increase is affordable;
- whether a break would be safer than a higher limit.
If you are unsure, keep the lower limit in place and contact support for safer-gambling guidance.
Signs that gambling may be causing harm
Gambling can become harmful when it stops feeling controlled, affordable or private in a healthy way. Warning signs may include:
- trying to win back losses;
- increasing stakes to feel the same excitement;
- gambling for longer than planned;
- depositing again after deciding to stop;
- hiding gambling activity from family or friends;
- borrowing money or selling items to fund play;
- missing work, study, family or personal responsibilities;
- feeling anxious, angry or guilty after gambling;
- thinking about gambling when doing other tasks;
- using gambling to escape stress, loneliness or low mood;
- making repeated unsuccessful attempts to stop;
- becoming defensive when someone asks about your play.
If any of these signs apply, stop playing and use a break or exclusion tool. Early action is easier than waiting until the problem becomes more serious.
Self-assessment before your next deposit
Use these prompts honestly before depositing or continuing to play:
- Am I gambling with money set aside for essentials?
- Am I trying to win back losses?
- Have I hidden my gambling from someone close to me?
- Have I borrowed money, used credit, or delayed bills because of gambling?
- Have I played longer than I intended in recent sessions?
- Do I feel anxious, angry or restless when I cannot gamble?
- Would I feel comfortable showing my recent gambling activity to someone I trust?
- Have I tried to stop or reduce play and found it difficult?
- Am I increasing stakes because smaller bets no longer feel exciting?
- Would taking a break today protect my wellbeing?
If several answers raise concern, do not deposit. Consider cooling-off, self-exclusion, financial blocks and external support.
Gambling myths we want you to challenge
| Myth | Reality check |
|---|---|
| “A win is due soon.” | Casino results are not a reward for previous losses. Where game rules state that rounds are independent, past results do not make the next result more likely to win. |
| “Bigger stakes recover losses faster.” | Bigger stakes increase financial risk and can make losses grow faster. |
| “I can solve money problems by gambling.” | Gambling creates risk; it does not provide stable income. Financial pressure is a reason to stop, not to deposit more. |
| “I should keep playing while I feel close to a win.” | Feeling close is not proof that a win is coming. Stop at your planned time or loss limit. |
| “Taking a break ruins my chance.” | A break protects your judgement. Safe gambling depends on control, not continuous play. |
| “I only have a problem if I gamble every day.” | Harm can happen even when play is occasional, especially if losses, secrecy, debt or emotional distress are involved. |
Support for friends and family
If you are worried about someone else’s gambling, speak calmly and focus on practical support. Avoid blame, threats or arguments during emotional moments. Choose a quiet time and explain what you have noticed, such as missed responsibilities, secrecy, debt, mood changes or repeated gambling after promises to stop.
Helpful steps may include:
- encouraging the person to use account limits, cooling-off or self-exclusion;
- suggesting external support from a gambling-help organisation;
- avoiding repayment of gambling debts without independent advice;
- protecting shared finances, cards, passwords and devices;
- keeping records of concerning behaviour if you need professional guidance;
- seeking support for yourself as a friend, partner or family member.
Friends and family can also be affected by gambling harm. You do not need to wait for the player to ask for help before contacting a support organisation for guidance.
Financial blocking tools and practical barriers
Account limits are important, but additional barriers can help if gambling feels difficult to control. Consider using several protections together.
| Barrier | How it can help |
|---|---|
| Bank or card gambling blocks | Some banks and card providers allow gambling merchant blocks or spending controls. Check with your bank or card issuer. |
| Gambling-blocking software | Tools such as Gamban, GamBlock, Betfilter and BetBlocker are designed to restrict access to gambling websites or apps. |
| Device and parental controls | Browser filters, app restrictions and device-level controls can reduce impulsive access. |
| Spending alerts | Bank notifications and budgeting alerts can make gambling-related spending more visible. |
| Account restrictions | Cooling-off, self-exclusion, deposit limits and marketing opt-out can reduce triggers inside your account. |
| Trusted-person support | A trusted person can help you review budgets, protect payment details and follow through with a break from gambling. |
No single tool works for everyone. Stronger protection usually comes from combining account controls, financial blocks, device barriers and personal support.
External support organisations
Our support team can help with account tools, but specialist organisations can provide independent gambling-harm support, peer guidance and practical resources.
| Organisation or tool | Type of help |
|---|---|
| GamCare | Gambling support, guidance and helpline-style assistance for people affected by gambling. |
| Gambling Therapy | International online support and resources for people experiencing gambling-related harm. |
| Gamblers Anonymous | Peer-support meetings and recovery-focused support for people who want help with gambling problems. |
| Gamban | Blocking software designed to restrict access to gambling websites and apps across devices. |
| GamBlock | Blocking software intended to prevent access to online gambling services. |
| Betfilter | Gambling-blocking software that can be used as an additional barrier to online play. |
| BetBlocker | Free blocking tool that helps restrict gambling access for selected periods. |
If you feel at risk of harming yourself, contact local emergency services or a crisis-support service immediately. Gambling support is important, but urgent safety concerns require immediate help.
Our responsibility as the operator
We take safer gambling seriously as part of account operation. Our responsibilities include:
- preventing underage gambling through age and eligibility rules;
- requesting verification information where required;
- providing account controls such as deposit, loss, wager and session limits;
- supporting cooling-off and self-exclusion requests;
- helping players manage marketing preferences;
- reviewing account activity where unusual or potentially harmful behaviour is identified;
- applying restrictions where needed to protect the player or meet compliance duties;
- giving clear information about gambling risk and support options.
We cannot remove all risk from gambling, and we cannot make gambling profitable or predictable. We can provide tools, explain risks clearly, act on safer-gambling requests, and encourage players to stop when gambling no longer feels controlled.
