Responsible Gaming Policy

At sgcasinoonline.site, gambling is designed purely as a form of entertainment. We are committed to providing a safe, fair, and responsible gaming environment for all players.

Gambling can be exciting, but it also carries risks. It is not a way to make money, pay bills, or recover debts. The outcome of any game is based on chance, and you should only play with funds you can afford to lose.

If at any time you feel that gambling is no longer fun, or that you are losing control over your play, we urge you to use the responsible gaming tools we provide and to seek professional help where needed.

Our Commitment to Responsible Gambling

sgcasinoonline.site is committed to:

• Promoting gambling as an enjoyable leisure activity.
• Preventing underage access to gambling services.
• Helping players control their gambling through practical tools and limits.
• Identifying and addressing problematic gambling behavior where possible.
• Cooperating with independent organizations that support responsible gambling.

We encourage all players to:

• Treat gambling as paid entertainment, not as an investment.
• Never chase losses.
• Set strict limits on time and money spent.
• Take regular breaks from play.
• Seek assistance immediately if gambling stops being fun.

Personal Limits: Tools to Help You Stay in Control

To support responsible play, we offer a range of tools in the “Personal Limits” section of your account. These tools allow you to set limits on your activity and manage how much time and money you spend on our site.

You can access and adjust your limits at any time via your account settings. The following rules apply to changes:

• Decreasing Limits – Immediate Effect Any reduction of a limit (e.g., lowering your deposit or loss limit) will take effect immediately. This is to help you take quick action to reduce your gambling if you feel it is becoming problematic.
• Increasing Limits – Delayed Effect Any increase of a limit (e.g., raising your deposit or loss limit) will only become effective after a cooling-off period (typically 24 hours or more, depending on the specific tool). This delay is designed to protect you from impulsive decisions and give you time to reconsider.

If you have any difficulty setting or understanding your Personal Limits, please contact our support team at [email protected].

Types of Limits Available

Below are the main limits you can set via the “Personal Limits” section of your account. Each limit is independent but can be combined for stronger protection.

Deposit Limit

A Deposit Limit allows you to control the amount of money you can deposit into your sgcasinoonline.site account within a defined period.

You can set:

• Daily Deposit Limit – Maximum total deposits allowed each calendar day.
• Weekly Deposit Limit – Maximum total deposits allowed per calendar week.
• Monthly Deposit Limit – Maximum total deposits allowed per calendar month.

Key points:

• Once you reach your chosen limit, you will not be able to deposit more until the limit period resets.
• Decreasing your Deposit Limit takes effect immediately; increasing it will be subject to a cooling-off period.
• This limit is a primary tool to ensure that you do not spend more than you can afford.

Loss Limit

A Loss Limit is designed to cap the total amount you can lose over a chosen period.

Important: The Loss Limit is based on your net loss relative to your initial deposits, not including winnings as “available funds”. This helps prevent a false sense of security when you are winning and ensures your overall losses remain controlled.

You can apply Loss Limits over daily, weekly, or monthly periods, depending on the options provided in your account.

Key points:

• If your net losses reach the selected limit, you will not be able to continue wagering until the period resets.
• Loss Limits focus on the money you have actually lost, not temporary balance fluctuations.
• Decreases are immediate; increases are subject to a cooling-off period.

Wager Limit

A Wager Limit (also referred to as a betting or stake limit) caps the total sum of your bets over a chosen period, regardless of whether those bets win or lose.

You can set a limit on:

• Total wagers per day
• Total wagers per week
• Total wagers per month

Key points:

• Once your cumulative bets reach the limit, you cannot place additional wagers until the period resets.
• This limit is particularly useful if you tend to place many small bets that can add up quickly.
• As with other limits, reductions are immediate and increases are delayed.

Cooling-Off Limit (Short-Term Breaks)

A Cooling-Off Limit allows you to take a short, voluntary break from gambling without permanently closing your account.

You can choose a cooling-off period ranging from:

• 1 day
• Up to 6 months

During a cooling-off period:

• You will not be able to place bets or make deposits.
• You may still log in to review your account and request withdrawals.
• You will be excluded from marketing communications for the duration of the period, as far as technically and operationally possible.

Key points:

• A cooling-off period is meant to give you time to reassess your gambling habits.
• Once activated, the cooling-off period cannot be cancelled or shortened by us until it has fully expired.
• At the end of the cooling-off period, normal account access and activity may resume automatically, subject to any other limits you have set.

Self-Exclusion Limit (Formal Account Disabling)

Self-Exclusion is a more serious measure intended for individuals who feel they have lost control over their gambling and need long-term protection.

By setting a Self-Exclusion Limit:

• Your account will be disabled for a chosen period (e.g., 6 months, 1 year, or longer).
• You will not be able to log in, deposit, place bets, or use any of our gambling services.
• You will be removed from marketing communications to the extent feasible.

Key points:

• Self-exclusion is binding and cannot be lifted early under normal circumstances.
• Any remaining funds in your account will be handled in accordance with our terms and conditions and applicable regulations; in most cases, you may request a withdrawal of any eligible balance.
• If you believe you have a gambling problem, we strongly encourage self-exclusion and contacting professional support services.

Self-Exclusion by Request (Manual Account Blocking)

If you are unable to use the online tools or prefer a more direct approach, you can request self-exclusion or account blocking by contacting our support team.

To initiate this:

• Send an email to [email protected] stating that you wish to self-exclude or block your account.
• Specify the desired period of exclusion, for example:
• A definite period (e.g., 6 months, 1 year, 5 years), or
• An indefinite / permanent exclusion.

Upon receipt of your request:

• We will review and confirm your identity for security reasons.
• We will implement the self-exclusion as soon as reasonably possible.
• Your account will be disabled for the requested period, during which you will not be able to log in, deposit, or gamble.

Handling of Remaining Funds:

• Any remaining real-money balance on the account will be dealt with in line with our terms and applicable laws.
• Where possible, we will process withdrawals of eligible funds upon your request, subject to standard verification and compliance checks.
• Bonuses and promotional balances may be voided according to our bonus and promotional terms.

If you are requesting self-exclusion because you feel you have a gambling problem, we strongly recommend also contacting an independent support organization (see below).

Protection of Minors

If we discover that an account has been opened or used by an individual under 18:

Advice for Parents and Guardians

If you share a computer or device with minors, or if minors have access to your devices, we recommend that you:

• Never share your login details (username, password) with anyone.
• Log out of your account whenever you finish your session.
• Use strong passwords and do not store them in easily accessible places.
• Consider using parental control and content-filtering software to restrict access to gambling sites.

Examples of such software include (non-exhaustive):

• Net Nanny – https://www.netnanny.com Provides content filtering and parental control features.
