Responsible Gambling

Leon Casino is a professional organisation, and treats gambling problems seriously. As is normal with all top-class sites, there are a number of features available to help you to control your finances.

It is always important to decide on your budget before you start a session. But we all know that in the excitement of the moment this can sometimes be difficult to remember or to keep to. Some features casino sites use to help with this include the following:

• Deposit limits – daily, weekly or monthly as suits your budget.
• Wagering limits – as above. When you hit your chosen limit, you will be blocked for that period
• Self-Exclusions – you can choose to have your account paused for a period of time rather than closing it so you don’t lose your information and progress points.

Remember, too, that customer service can offer advice and help. They will also have links and contact information for gambling help sites, support groups and counselling services.

An interesting point about being control of your budget with gambling is that it also improves your chances of winning. One advantage is that a pre-fixed limit means you are free to play until you hit it, making your gaming experience free of this worry.

Here are some guidelines which are useful strategies for everyone:

• Only gamble with money you have available, just as for any entertainment.
• Know that gambling is not a way to fix money problems.
• Avoid gambling, alcohol and drugs when you are depressed or upset.
• Don’t chase losses – you’re more likely to get ahead by waiting til your head clears.
• Before you start, decide on your budget and stick to it.
• Watch the clock. It is easy to eat up more time than you want.
• Use the features and set deposit and wagering limits to suit your budget.
• If you feel a break is a good idea, use the self-exclusion feature.
• Familiarise yourself with the game rules and Terms & Conditions before you start.
• Take advantage of free demo games to learn the game risk-free of your own funds.
