SLOTA

Our Commitment to Responsible Play

At SLOTA, we believe that entertainment should be enjoyable and managed responsibly. We provide a range of tools within your account settings designed to help you maintain control over your gaming activity. These features are accessible at any time and can be adjusted to suit your personal preferences and circumstances.

Managing Your Deposits

Setting deposit limits is a proactive way to manage your gaming budget. You can establish daily, weekly, and monthly limits. Once a limit is set, it is applied immediately. If you wish to decrease a limit, the change takes effect instantly. Increasing a limit, however, requires a 24-hour waiting period before it becomes active, allowing time for consideration.

To adjust these limits, navigate to the 'Responsible Gambling' section within your account dashboard. You will see options to set or modify your deposit limits for each period. Simply select your desired amount and confirm the changes.

Understanding Loss Limits and Session Reminders

While we do not offer a direct 'loss limit' tool, we encourage players to utilize deposit limits as a primary means of budget control. For time management, session reminders can be configured. These are designed to discreetly notify you of the time spent playing, helping you stay aware of your session duration.

You can activate and customise session reminders in the 'Responsible Gambling' section of your account. Select your preferred interval for these reminders to appear.

Taking Time-Outs and Self-Exclusion

For players who wish to take a temporary break, our 'Time-Out' feature allows you to exclude yourself from accessing your account for a predetermined period, ranging from 24 hours to several weeks. During a Time-Out, you will not be able to log in or place bets.

Should you require a longer break, the 'Self-Exclusion' option allows you to block access to your account for a more extended duration, from six months up to five years. This is a significant step, and we recommend careful consideration before activating it. Once self-excluded, your account will remain inaccessible for the chosen period, and we will take steps to prevent marketing communications.

Both Time-Out and Self-Exclusion can be managed directly within the 'Responsible Gambling' section of your account. Select the desired duration and confirm your choice. Please note that once a self-exclusion period is set, it cannot be shortened.

Accessing Your Responsible Gambling Tools

All responsible gambling tools are made available through your personal account dashboard. We advise all players to familiarise themselves with these options and to use them consistently to ensure a controlled and enjoyable gaming experience.

Should you require further assistance or wish to discuss responsible gambling in more detail, our support team is available via Live Chat and Telegram to provide guidance and information.

Understanding Responsible Play at SLOTA

At SLOTA, we are committed to providing a secure and enjoyable gaming environment. We understand that for some, gambling can become a challenge. Our aim is to offer transparency and support, ensuring all players can make informed decisions about their play.

Recognising Signs of Problematic Gambling

It is important to be aware of the signs that might indicate gambling is becoming a problem. These are not definitive diagnoses, but rather indicators that may warrant closer self-reflection or seeking external advice. Common signs include:

  • Preoccupation with gambling, constantly thinking about past or future bets.
  • Needing to gamble with increasing amounts of money to achieve the desired excitement.
  • Restlessness or irritability when attempting to cut down or stop gambling.
  • Chasing losses – trying to win back money lost by gambling more.
  • Lying to family members or others to conceal the extent of involvement with gambling.
  • Jeopardising or losing a significant relationship, job, or educational/career opportunity because of gambling.
  • Relying on others to provide money to relieve desperate financial situations caused by gambling.

Tools for Self-Assessment and Management

We provide several tools within your SLOTA account to help you manage your gameplay. These include:

  • Deposit Limits: Set daily, weekly, or monthly limits on how much you can deposit.
  • Session Time Limits: Define how long you can play in a single session.
  • Self-Exclusion: A more significant step where you can temporarily or permanently block access to your account.
  • Reality Checks: Pop-up notifications reminding you of the time spent and money wagered during a session.

Beyond these platform tools, numerous external self-assessment tests are available online. These can offer a more structured way to evaluate your gambling habits. We encourage you to explore resources like those provided by Gambling Help Online, which offer confidential and free self-assessment tools.

Seeking Professional Support

If you find yourself concerned about your gambling habits, or those of someone you know, reaching out for professional support is a sign of strength. We want to ensure you have access to reliable resources. For players in Australia, several organisations offer confidential and free assistance:

  1. Gambling Help Online: Accessible via phone at 1800 858 858, this service provides 24/7 confidential support and counselling.
  2. Gambling Help NSW: Offers support and resources for individuals in New South Wales.
  3. Lifeline Australia: A national charity that provides crisis support and suicide prevention services.
  4. Beyond Blue: Offers support for anxiety, depression, and suicide prevention.

These services are designed to provide a safe space to discuss concerns and explore strategies for managing gambling behaviour. We also recommend the Australian Gambling Research Centre (AGRC) and MindSpot for further information and resources.
