Responsible Gaming at Slotnite Casino

Our commitment: gambling is entertainment, not income

Gambling should be a way of spending leisure money, never a way of making money or of dealing with money worries. Over time, the games on this site pay out less than is staked on them, so the only sensible approach is to play with money you have already decided to spend on entertainment and can afford to lose.

We ask every customer to set a budget before playing and to treat that budget as a spending limit rather than a figure to win back. Losing is a normal part of gambling; trying to recover losses is usually the point at which play stops being enjoyable and starts causing harm.

• Decide what you can afford to lose before you deposit, then set a deposit limit that matches that figure.
• Gamble only with money set aside for entertainment, never with money needed for rent, bills, food or repayments.
• Watch the time you spend playing as well as the money, and take regular breaks away from the screen.
• Do not play to chase losses, to escape stress or low mood, or after drinking alcohol.
• Never borrow money in order to gamble, and never ask someone else to fund your play.

The controls in your account and how to switch them on

Every account includes a set of safer gambling controls. You will find them grouped together in the responsible gaming area of your account, and our team can apply any of them for you on request.

Deposit limits

A deposit limit caps how much you can add to your balance across a day, a week or a month. You choose the amount and the period from the options shown in the cashier. A lower limit applies straight away, while an increase or removal takes effect only after a cooling-off period and a second confirmation from you, so a decision made in the heat of the moment cannot be reversed in the same moment.

Loss, wager and session limits

A loss limit caps the net amount you can lose over the period you select and stops play once it is reached. A wager limit caps your total stakes, and a session limit caps how long a single visit can last. The amounts and periods available are the ones listed in your account settings.

Reality checks

A reality check is an on-screen reminder that appears after a period of play you choose. It tells you how long you have been playing and how much you have staked, then asks whether you want to carry on or end the session.

Time-outs

A time-out closes your account to play for a short fixed break, from a single day up to the longest period offered in your account. You cannot deposit or stake during a time-out, and the account reopens automatically at the end of it. You can still contact us about withdrawals while a time-out is running.

Self-exclusion

Self-exclusion is a longer and firmer break of at least six months. Once it starts, we close the account to play, stop sending you marketing and will not reopen it before the period ends. After that, the account stays closed until you ask us to reopen it, and a further cooling-off period applies before you can deposit again.

Switching a control on

1. Sign in and open the responsible gaming section of your account.
2. Choose the control you want: a deposit, loss, wager or session limit, a reality check, a time-out or self-exclusion.
3. Select the amount or period from the options shown and confirm your choice.
4. Keep the confirmation we send to the e-mail address registered on your account.
5. If you would rather we did it for you, use the live chat on the site or e-mail support@casinoslotnite.co.uk.

Signs that gambling may be becoming a problem

Problem gambling develops gradually, and the people closest to it are often the last to notice. Go through the following list honestly. If several points sound familiar, it is worth setting a limit, taking a break and speaking to one of the organisations named below.

• You gamble for longer or spend more than you planned to.
• You stake more than before to get the same level of enjoyment.
• You go back to recover money you have lost.
• You gamble with money meant for bills, food or repayments, or you borrow to play.
• You hide how much you gamble, or lie about it, to family, friends or colleagues.
• You feel restless, anxious or irritable when you are not playing.
• You play to escape stress, loneliness, boredom or low mood.
• Gambling is affecting your work, studies, sleep or relationships.
• You have tried to cut down or stop and found that you could not.

None of these points is a medical opinion. Support services offer free self-assessment tools and confidential advice, and you do not need a diagnosis to ask for help.

Where to get free, confidential help

Independent organisations across the UK provide information, counselling and treatment at no cost to you, for gamblers and for the people around them.

• GambleAware provides free, impartial information about gambling harm and directs people to treatment and support services across Great Britain.
• GamCare offers free, confidential counselling and structured treatment, delivered online, by phone and face to face, both to people who gamble and to those affected by someone else's gambling.
• GamStop is the free national self-exclusion scheme. One registration blocks you from gambling sites licensed in Great Britain, including this one, for a period of six months, one year or five years.
• The National Gambling Helpline gives confidential advice and emotional support around the clock to anyone worried about their own gambling or someone else's.

Many banks will also block gambling payments on your card or app at your request, and free debt advice charities can help if gambling has caused money problems. If you want us to apply a limit, a time-out or self-exclusion to your account while you arrange support, write to responsiblegaming@casinoslotnite.co.uk or use the live chat on the site.

Protecting children and other people in your home

It is against the law for anyone under 18 to gamble, and keeping children away from gambling is something we share with the adults who use our site. We check the identity, age and address details of every customer before play is allowed to continue, and we may ask for documents at any point to complete that verification.

If you share a device, a few simple habits make a real difference:

• Keep your username, password and payment details to yourself, and never save card details on a shared device.
• Sign out fully when you finish playing instead of leaving the session open.
• Set up a separate user profile for children, and use the parental controls built into your device, browser or home network.
• Consider filtering software that blocks gambling content on every device in the household.

If you believe a person under 18 has gained access to your account, contact us immediately through live chat or at support@casinoslotnite.co.uk so that we can secure the account and look into what happened.
