Responsible Gaming
Gambling Should Be Entertainment
At Affinity NSS, we're committed to promoting responsible gambling. Betting apps and casino games should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Always gamble within your means and only with money you can afford to lose.
Age Verification
You must be 18 years of age or older (or the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction) to use betting apps and casino services. If you are under the legal age, please do not participate in gambling activities. We take age verification seriously and encourage parents and guardians to monitor online activity.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognise any of the following signs in yourself or someone else, it may indicate a gambling problem:
- Spending more time or money on gambling than intended
- Repeatedly trying to cut back or stop gambling without success
- Chasing losses by gambling more to try to recover money lost
- Hiding gambling activity or lying about the amount spent
- Neglecting family, work, education, or other responsibilities due to gambling
- Borrowing money or using savings to fund gambling
- Experiencing mood swings or irritability when unable to gamble
- Using gambling to escape problems or relieve stress
- Feeling anxious or depressed about gambling activities
- Experiencing financial difficulties as a result of gambling
Self-Help Tools & Responsible Gaming Features
Most reputable betting apps offer built-in tools to help you gamble responsibly:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specified period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Set a limit on how much you're willing to lose in a given timeframe
- Time Limits: Set reminders or automatic session timeouts to monitor how long you're gambling
- Reality Checks: Enable pop-up notifications to remind you how long you've been gambling and how much you've spent
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from betting apps and online casinos
- Account Closure: Close your account if you need to take a break from gambling
We encourage you to use these tools proactively to maintain control over your gambling habits.
