💡 Core Principles of Responsible Gaming

Principle Meaning Why It Matters
🎮 Control You decide when, how long, and how much to play. Protects your budget and your schedule.
🧠 Awareness Outcomes are random; wins are never guaranteed. Prevents unrealistic expectations and risky chasing.
💰 Budgeting Set affordable limits (deposit, loss, wager). Keeps entertainment separate from essential finances.
⏳ Balance Gaming is just one hobby among many. Helps you maintain healthy routines and relationships.
🤝 Support Ask for help early—tools and people can assist. Reduces harm and restores control faster.

🛠️ In-App Responsible Gaming Tools

The Pin Up App includes several controls to tailor a safe experience:

  • 🔹 Deposit Limits: Daily/weekly/monthly caps for money added to your account.
  • 🔹 Loss Limits: Maximum net loss allowed per period.
  • 🔹 Wager Limits: Cap the total amount you can stake.
  • 🔹 Session Limits & Time-Outs: End sessions automatically or take breaks (e.g., 24 hours).
  • 🔹 Reality Checks: Pop-up reminders with session duration and spend since login.
  • 🔹 Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently restrict account access.
  • 🔹 History & Analytics: View deposits, withdrawals, net results, and playtime.
  • 🔹 Marketing Controls: Manage promotional emails/push notifications to reduce triggers.

📊 Overview of Limits & Cool-Offs

Control Typical Range Effect Best For
Deposit Limit 💳 Daily / Weekly / Monthly Prevents adding more funds once the cap is reached. Budget protection & financial planning
Loss Limit 📉 Daily / Weekly Stops play after reaching a maximum net loss. Keeping losses within comfort level
Wager Limit 🎲 Daily / Session Restricts total stakes placed. Reducing impulsive high-volume betting
Reality Check ⏰ 15–60 min intervals Displays a reminder with time & spend stats. Awareness and pacing
Time-Out 🧊 24h – 30 days Temporarily blocks login and play. Short breaks to reset habits
Self-Exclusion 🚫 6 months – permanent Blocks access for the entire period selected. Significant harm-reduction when at risk

🧭 How to Set Limits in the Pin Up App (Step-by-Step)

Set a Deposit Limit 💳

  1. Open Profile → Responsible Gaming.
  2. Tap Deposit Limit and choose period (daily/weekly/monthly).
  3. Enter your cap and confirm. A confirmation banner should appear.
  4. Note: Lowering limits is usually immediate; increasing may require a waiting period (cool-off).

Enable Reality Checks ⏰

  1. Go to Responsible Gaming → Reality Checks.
  2. Select intervals (e.g., every 30 minutes).
  3. Save and continue playing—pop-ups will remind you to review time and spend.

Take a Time-Out 🧊

  1. Open Time-Out from the RG menu.
  2. Pick a duration (24h, 72h, 7 days, custom).
  3. Confirm. You’ll be logged out until the time-out ends.

Request Self-Exclusion 🚫

  1. Navigate to Self-Exclusion.
  2. Choose the period (6–12 months or permanent).
  3. Read the notice and confirm. Support can guide you if needed.

🔔 Important: For security and compliance, identity verification may be required to apply or modify certain limits.

🚨 Early-Warning Signs to Watch

  • Spending more time or money than planned, despite intentions to stop.
  • Chasing losses or increasing bet sizes to “win it back.”
  • Hiding gaming activity from family or friends.
  • Gambling when stressed, bored, or under the influence.
  • Missing work/studies or neglecting responsibilities due to play.
  • Feeling guilt, anxiety, or irritability related to gaming.

⚖️ Responsible Play vs Problem Gambling

Aspect Responsible Play ✅ Problem Gambling ❗
Motivation Fun and recreation Escape from stress or financial pressure
Budget Affordable, pre-defined, within limits Uses essential funds or debt
Time Scheduled sessions with breaks Excessive sessions, loss of track of time
Decision-making Calm, informed, limit-driven Impulsive, emotional, chasing losses

🧠 Myths vs Facts

Myth 🙅‍♂️ Fact ✅
“I can predict when a slot is due to pay.” Outcomes use RNG and are random; past spins don’t influence future results.
“Bonuses guarantee profit.” Bonuses have rules (wagering, time limits). They extend play but don’t ensure wins.
“A big loss means a big win is around the corner.” Chasing losses increases risk; stick to limits or take a break.
“Only heavy gamblers have problems.” Anyone can develop risky habits; early tools and help work best.

👨‍👩‍👧 Account & Youth Protection

  • Enable strong passwords and keep them private.
  • Turn on two-factor authentication (2FA) when available.
  • Log out on shared devices; clear saved credentials.
  • Use device-level parental controls to restrict underage access.
  • Never allow minors to use your account—18+ only.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1) How do I lower or raise my deposit limit? 💳

Go to Profile → Responsible Gaming → Deposit Limit. Lowering is usually immediate.
Increasing a limit may require a cooling-off period to ensure the decision is deliberate.

2) What is the difference between a time-out and self-exclusion? 🧊🚫

A time-out is a short cooling period (24h–30 days).
Self-exclusion is a long-term block (6+ months or permanent) and is intended for higher-risk situations.

3) Will I still receive marketing during a time-out? 📣

You can manage promotional preferences in Settings → Notifications/Marketing.
During self-exclusion, marketing communication is typically disabled in line with responsible gaming standards.

4) Can I cancel self-exclusion early? ⏳

No. Self-exclusion protects you by design and cannot be lifted early.
After it ends, a reactivation process may include wait periods and confirmations.

5) Do limits apply across all games and verticals? 🎲

Deposit and loss limits apply at account level and cover all real-money activity in the Pin Up App.
Check the Responsible Gaming screen for the exact scope of each control.

6) Are my limit changes visible somewhere? 📜

Yes—use History & Analytics to review your configured limits, changes, deposits, withdrawals, and session time.

7) I feel stressed about gaming. What should I do first? 🧘

Take a time-out immediately, set conservative limits, talk to someone you trust, and consider contacting a professional support organization (see below).

Combine these tools with practical habits (budgeting, breaks, and clear goals), and lean on support whenever you need it.
With awareness, balance, and the right guardrails, you can make every session entertaining, safe, and sustainable. 💚
