Tools to Help You Stay in Control
To support responsible gaming, LuckyMate provides a suite of easy-to-use tools within your account settings. These features are designed to help you manage your time and spending effectively. We encourage you to set limits that suit your personal budget before you start playing.
- Deposit Limits: You can set a maximum amount you can deposit over a daily, weekly, or monthly period. Once you reach this limit, you won’t be able to make further deposits until the period resets.
- Loss Limits: This tool allows you to control the maximum amount of money you can lose from your deposits over a chosen timeframe. It helps prevent chasing losses.
- Wager Limits: Set a cap on the total amount you can wager during a specific period. This is useful for managing your overall volume of play, regardless of wins or losses.
- Session Timers: A reality check feature that reminds you how long you’ve been playing. You can set up alerts to pop up at regular intervals, helping you keep track of time.
- Cooling-Off Period: If you feel you need a short break from gambling, you can activate a cooling-off period for 24 hours, one week, one month, or any period up to six months. During this time, you will not be able to access your account.
- Self-Exclusion: For those who need a longer break, self-exclusion allows you to block access to your account for a minimum of six months. This is a more formal step and can be extended if needed.
Are You Playing Responsibly?
Sometimes it can be difficult to recognise when gambling is becoming more than just a bit of fun. It’s a good idea to reflect on your playing habits from time to time. Ask yourself the following questions honestly:
- Do you spend more money or time on gambling than you intend to?
- Have you ever tried to win back money you have lost?
- Has gambling ever caused you any health problems, including stress or anxiety?
- Have others ever criticised your gambling?
- Has gambling ever caused financial difficulties for you or your household?
- Do you ever feel guilty about the amount of time or money you spend gambling?
If you answered ‘yes’ to one or more of these questions, it may be a sign that you could benefit from seeking support.
