Gambling is a form of entertainment enjoyed by millions of people. The majority of people gamble without
experiencing any problems. However, just as some people can become addicted to alcohol or tobacco, it is
possible for a person to become obsessed with gambling.

Although, according to many studies, only 1 percent of the adult population faces this problem,  even one
compulsive gambler is one too many.

It is not possible to predict who will develop a gambling problem, but once identified, the problem can be
successfully treated.
To have an enjoyable experience when visiting a casino, we advise you to follow these guidelines:

. Make sure that the decision to gamble is your personal choice.

. Establish what constitutes an acceptable loss before starting to gamble.

. Never gamble if:   Gambling interferes with your work or other responsibilities

           You are in recovery for addictive disorders or dependencies.

           You are under the influence of alcohol or other substances.

           You are attempting to make up for prior gambling losses.

Please know how to set limits and when to stop. Like many things, what is enjoyable in moderation can
be disastrous in excess.

Seek professional help from the following organizations if gambling is not something that you want to do, but
rather something that you need to do:

Underage Gambling

Participating in gambling activities by persons under the age of 18 is not permitted in most countries where the
licenses for online casinos have been issued.

Underage gambling is not a harmless activity and it may begin when adults take children along to visit a
Casino or give them the "gift" of a lottery ticket.

If young people have access to a computer with casino software, we encourage you to:

Install child protection software.

Not leave children unattended near your computer when your casino software is running.

Password-protect your casino program.

Not allow persons under 18 to participate in any gambling activity.

Keep your Casino Username, Password and Credit Card(s) out of the reach of children.

Educate your children about the legality and the potential damage of underage gambling.
