Responsible Gaming
At Instant Casino Review, we are committed to advocating for responsible gaming. While online gambling can be an enjoyable form of entertainment, it's important to play safely and within your means. This page provides information and resources to help you maintain control.
Key Principles of Responsible Gaming
- Gambling should be seen as entertainment, not a way to make money.
- Only gamble what you can afford to lose.
- Set time and money limits before you start playing.
- Avoid chasing losses.
- Do not gamble when you are stressed, depressed, or under the influence of alcohol.
- Balance gambling with other activities.
Tools for Managing Your Play
Most reputable online casinos offer tools to help you manage your gambling. These often include:
- **Deposit Limits:** Set limits on how much money you can deposit within a certain period (daily, weekly, monthly).
- **Loss Limits:** Limit how much you can lose within a specific timeframe.
- **Wagering Limits:** Control the total amount you can wager.
- **Session Limits:** Limit the duration of your gaming sessions.
- **Reality Checks:** Receive notifications reminding you how long you've been playing and your wins/losses.
- **Time-Out Periods:** Take a short break from gambling (e.g., 24 hours, a week).
- **Self-Exclusion:** Exclude yourself from accessing the casino for a longer period (e.g., six months, a year, or permanently).
We strongly encourage you to explore and utilize these tools offered by the casinos you play at.

Underage Gambling
Online gambling is strictly forbidden for individuals under the age of 18 (or the legal age in your jurisdiction). We do not promote or endorse underage gambling. If you are a parent or guardian concerned about a minor, there are filtering software options available to block access to gambling sites.
Remember, gambling should be fun. Play responsibly!
