We encourage all players to read this page thoroughly and to make use of our gambling control features to play responsibly at all times.
Understanding Problem Gambling
Problem gambling — sometimes called gambling addiction — occurs when betting behaviour becomes compulsive and starts to interfere with a person's personal, professional, or financial life. It can affect anyone regardless of age, income, or background. At Fortunica Casino, we want to ensure that our players are well-informed about the risks and equipped to seek gambling help if needed.

- Spending more money on gambling than you can afford to lose

- Neglecting bills, rent, or essential expenses due to gambling losses
- Chasing losses in an attempt to win back money
- Hiding gambling expenditure from family or friends
Emotional Warning Signs
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when not gambling

Self-Assessment Questionnaire
Not sure if your gambling habits are becoming a concern? Answer the following questions honestly to better understand your relationship with gambling. This self-assessment is not a clinical diagnosis — it is a guide to help you reflect on your behaviour and decide whether to seek further gambling help.
- Have you ever gambled more than you intended to?
- Have you felt the need to gamble with increasingly large amounts of money to get the same excitement?
- Have you tried unsuccessfully to stop, cut back, or control your gambling?
- Do you feel restless or irritable when you try to reduce or stop gambling?
- Have you gambled as a way of escaping problems or relieving feelings of helplessness, guilt, or anxiety?
- After losing money, have you returned another day to try to win it back (chasing losses)?
- Have you lied to family members or others to conceal the extent of your gambling?
- Has gambling jeopardised or caused you to lose an important relationship, job, or educational opportunity?
- Have you relied on others to provide money to relieve a desperate financial situation caused by gambling?
- Have you ever considered self-harm or suicide due to gambling-related stress?
If you answered "Yes" to five or more of these questions, we strongly encourage you to use our self-exclusion tools and to contact a professional support service. Fortunica Casino is here to help you gamble responsibly every step of the way.
Fortunica Casino Safer Gambling Tools
Fortunica Casino provides a comprehensive suite of safer gambling tools that you can activate directly through your account settings. These gambling control features are designed to empower you to set boundaries on your play and maintain a responsible gaming experience at all times.
Deposit Limits
Deposit limits allow you to control how much money you add to your account over a given period. You can set deposit limits on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis. Once your limit is reached, no further deposits will be accepted until the period resets. Increasing a deposit limit requires a cooling-off period before it takes effect, while decreases are applied immediately. This is one of the most effective tools for safe gambling.
Loss Limits
Loss limits cap the amount you can lose within a specific time frame. When your loss limits threshold is reached, Fortunica Casino will prevent you from placing further bets until the limit period refreshes. Setting loss limits is a proactive way to ensure you never spend more than you are comfortable losing.
Session Limits
Session limits restrict the length of time you can spend gambling in a single session. Once your chosen session duration expires, you will be automatically logged out of your account. Fortunica Casino recommends using session limits to prevent extended play periods that can lead to impulsive decisions and fatigue-driven losses.
Bet Limits
Bet limits restrict the maximum amount you can wager on a single bet or spin. This tool is particularly useful for players who enjoy high-volatility games and want to manage their bankroll more carefully to play responsibly.
Cooling-Off Period
A cooling-off period is a short-term break from gambling. Fortunica Casino offers cooling-off periods of 24 hours, 48 hours, 7 days, and 30 days. During a cooling-off period, your account will be temporarily restricted from gambling activities. This tool is ideal if you feel your gambling is becoming excessive and you want to step back without committing to full self-exclusion.
Self-Exclusion
Self-exclusion is available for players who feel they need a more extended break from gambling. Fortunica Casino offers self-exclusion periods of 6 months, 1 year, 5 years, or permanent exclusion. During self-exclusion, your account will be closed, all marketing communications will be suspended, and you will be unable to open a new account with us. We take self-exclusion requests very seriously and process them promptly. To request self-exclusion, please contact our support team at [email protected] or via our 24/7 live chat.
Reality Checks
Fortunica Casino provides optional reality check reminders that alert you to how long you have been playing. These pop-up notifications encourage you to pause, reflect on your session, and decide whether to continue or stop. Reality checks are a gentle but effective safer gambling tool for maintaining awareness during extended play.
Account Activity Monitoring
You can review your complete gambling history — including deposits, withdrawals, wagers, wins, and losses — directly through your account dashboard. Fortunica Casino encourages players to regularly monitor their activity as part of our commitment to responsible gambling. Awareness of your own patterns is a key element of gambling control.

Eight Golden Rules of Safe Gambling at Fortunica Casino
Practising safe gambling means making conscious, informed choices every time you play. Fortunica Casino recommends following these eight golden rules to help you gamble responsibly and enjoy gaming as a positive leisure activity:
- Set a budget before you play. Decide in advance how much you are willing to spend and stick to it. Use our deposit limits and loss limits to enforce your budget automatically.
- Treat gambling as entertainment, not income. The house always has an edge. Never rely on gambling winnings as a source of income or to pay bills.
- Never chase your losses. If you have reached your loss limit for the day, stop playing. Chasing losses is one of the most common signs of problem gambling.
- Take regular breaks. Use our session limits and reality checks to ensure you step away from the screen regularly. Fatigue impairs judgement and increases impulsive play.
- Do not gamble under the influence. Alcohol, drugs, or extreme emotional states can cloud your decision-making. Always play with a clear head.
- Keep gambling in perspective. Balance your gambling hobby with other social activities, hobbies, and responsibilities. No single activity should dominate your life.
- Know when to seek help. If gambling is causing you stress, financial hardship, or relationship problems, do not hesitate to use our self-exclusion tools or contact one of the support organisations listed below.
- Use your protection tools proactively. Do not wait until gambling becomes a problem. Set your deposit limits, session limits, and loss limits as soon as you open your account and adjust them as needed to reflect your current situation.
