Fitzdares Casino Responsible Gambling
Gambling should always be viewed as entertainment rather than a way to make money. At Fitzdares Casino we believe players should enjoy their experience in a safe, informed and controlled way. This page explains how we approach responsible gambling and the practical steps we provide to support player wellbeing.
Our policies aim to reduce harm, promote informed play and provide clear routes to assistance for anyone who feels their gambling is becoming problematic. If you have questions about the measures described here, please contact our support team.
Our Commitment to Responsible Gambling
Fitzdares Casino is committed to fostering a safe environment where customers can enjoy gaming responsibly. We recognise that gambling carries risk and that some individuals can experience harm. Our approach combines proactive tools, clear information and accessible support to help prevent and address problem gambling.
We train staff to recognise signs of harm, to act sensitively when concerns arise and to respect customer confidentiality. Our goal is to provide practical options that help customers maintain control, and to refer players to independent professional services when specialist help is needed.
Recognising Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually. Not everyone who gambles will experience harm, but it is important to be aware of warning signs. These may include spending more time or money than intended, chasing losses, neglecting other responsibilities, or experiencing distress linked to gambling activity.
Emotional and behavioural changes can be indicators. If family members or friends notice sudden mood changes, secrecy about gambling or financial strain linked to play, these are signs that intervention or support may be needed.
Self-Assessment and Limits
We encourage players to reflect on their behaviour and to use tools that limit risk. Fitzdares Casino offers options that allow customers to set boundaries that suit their needs and budgets.
- Deposit limits - set daily, weekly or monthly caps on the amount of money you can deposit to control spending.
- Loss limits - limit the amount you can lose within a chosen time period to reduce financial risk.
- Reality checks - automated prompts that remind you how long you have been playing and encourage breaks.
- Cooling-off periods - short, temporary breaks from your account to pause play without permanent exclusion.
- Self-exclusion - a formal option to block access for a defined period for those who need a longer-term break.
Responsible Gaming Tools
Fitzdares Casino provides a range of responsible gaming features designed to give players control over their account and behaviour. These tools are available through your account settings and customer support.
- Account limits - tools to set or reduce deposit, stake and loss limits at any time.
- Session management - reality check timers and session reminders to help you take regular breaks.
- Time-outs and cooling-off - quick options to suspend activity for a defined short period.
- Self-exclusion facility - the ability to close access for longer periods, with clear information on reactivation terms.
- Transaction history and balance checks - easy access to your financial activity so you can monitor spending patterns.
- Customer-initiated account restrictions - options to remove access to promotional materials or limit certain products.

Underage Gambling
Only individuals aged +18 or older may use the website. Fitzdares Casino operates strict age verification measures and will take action if underage play is identified. Any account found to be operated by a person under the minimum age will be closed and funds handled in accordance with applicable procedures.
Parental Controls
Parents and guardians play a critical role in preventing underage gambling. We recommend the following steps to limit access and exposure to online gambling for minors.
- Use device-level parental controls to restrict access to gambling sites and apps.
- Enable search and content filters on home networks and browsers to block gambling content.
- Monitor device use and app downloads to ensure gambling software is not installed without consent.
- Keep open conversations with children about gambling risks and treat it as age-inappropriate activity.
- Contact customer support if you suspect a minor has accessed an account so we can investigate and take corrective action.
Tips for Staying in Control
Practical habits and planning help maintain healthy play. The following tips are designed to reduce harm and keep gambling enjoyable.
- Set a strict budget for gambling and treat it as entertainment spend, not income generation.
- Decide in advance how long you will play and use reality checks or timers to stick to that decision.
- Avoid chasing losses - plan for losses and accept them as part of the cost of entertainment.
- Use deposit and loss limits to remove impulse decisions during a session.
- Take regular breaks and don’t gamble when upset, fatigued or under financial pressure.
- Keep gambling separate from essential bills and savings - never gamble with money needed for living costs.
- Discuss concerns with a trusted friend or family member and consider professional help if gambling causes distress.
Changes to This Policy
We keep our responsible gambling approach under regular review to reflect operational changes and best practice. Fitzdares Casino may update this page when new tools, processes or guidance become available.
If we make material changes we will communicate them through the website or by contacting affected customers where appropriate. For questions about this policy or how it applies to your account, please contact our customer support for clarification.
