Responsible Gaming

Playjonny Casino is committed to supporting a safe, balanced and informed approach to gambling. Gambling should be entertainment, not a way to make money, solve financial problems or cope with difficult emotions. Before you play, understand the risks, set limits that suit your circumstances and take regular breaks. If gambling stops being enjoyable or begins to affect your finances, relationships, work or wellbeing, stop playing and seek support.

Playjonny Casino operates under a Curaçao Gaming Authority licence, reference number OGL/2024/1126/0521, issued to Terdersoft B.V. The casino uses SSL encryption and requires identity verification before the first withdrawal.

Gamble responsibly

Gambling involves risk, and there is no guaranteed way to win. Every game is based on chance or probability, and previous results do not determine what will happen next. A win does not mean that another win is more likely, and a loss does not mean that a win is due. Keeping this in mind can help you make decisions based on entertainment rather than expectation.

Only gamble with money you can afford to lose after essential expenses have been paid. Your gambling budget should never come from rent, mortgage payments, bills, food, school costs, savings, borrowed money or credit intended for another purpose. Do not treat gambling as an investment, a source of income or a solution to debt. If a gambling session uses more money or time than you planned, stop and review your habits before playing again.

Practical ways to stay in control

Decide how much money and time you will spend before you start.
Keep your gambling budget separate from money needed for everyday living.
Use available deposit, spending, loss or session controls where offered.
Set a time reminder and take regular breaks away from the screen.
Never chase losses by increasing your stakes or continuing for longer.
Do not gamble when you are angry, distressed, tired, intoxicated or under the influence of drugs.
Avoid gambling as a response to boredom, loneliness, stress or financial pressure.
Do not borrow money or sell possessions to fund gambling.
Keep your account details secure and do not allow other people to gamble through your account.
Review your gambling activity regularly and make changes if your play is becoming difficult to manage.

A useful approach is to decide your limits before opening a game or making a deposit. Once a limit is reached, finish the session rather than changing the limit in the moment. A short pause can make it easier to think clearly. You can also ask someone you trust to help you keep to your plan.

Know the warning signs

Gambling can become harmful gradually. Some people notice changes in their behaviour before they recognise that there is a problem. There is no need to wait until serious harm has occurred before taking action. If any of the following signs apply to you, consider stopping, applying a break or exclusion, and speaking with a qualified support service.

You spend more money or time gambling than you intended.
You repeatedly try to win back money that you have lost.
You hide or minimise your gambling from family, friends or colleagues.
You feel restless or irritable when you try to reduce or stop gambling.
You think about gambling for much of the day or plan your routine around it.
You cancel plans, miss work or study, or reduce time with people close to you because of gambling.
You borrow money, use credit, sell belongings or delay important payments to continue playing.
You feel guilty, anxious, depressed or ashamed after gambling but continue anyway.
You gamble to escape problems, manage emotions or feel excitement.
You need to gamble with larger amounts or for longer periods to experience the same feeling.
You have argued with someone close to you about your gambling.
You have tried to stop or cut down and found that you could not maintain the change.

Warning signs are not a judgement about you. They are an indication that extra support may be useful. Talking early with a trusted person or a professional gambling counsellor can help you understand what is happening and decide on practical next steps. You can seek support whether your gambling is occasional or frequent, and whether your losses are small or significant.

Ask yourself a few simple questions

Can I stop playing when I planned to stop?
Am I comfortable with the amount I spend on gambling?
Have I used money set aside for essentials or borrowed money to gamble?
Do people close to me know how much I gamble?
Would I feel concerned if someone I trust gambled in the same way?
Am I gambling because I want entertainment, or because I am trying to change how I feel or recover losses?

Tools and steps to manage your play

Playjonny Casino encourages players to use responsible gambling features and account controls where they are available. These tools are designed to help you manage your activity, but they work best when you choose limits before gambling and respect them. A limit is not a guarantee that you will win or lose a particular amount. It is a personal boundary intended to help you keep gambling within an affordable and manageable level.

Set a personal plan

Choose an affordable gambling budget for a day, week or other period that suits you.
Choose the maximum time you will spend in a session.
Decide which games or activities are within your plan and avoid impulsive changes.
Record deposits, withdrawals and gambling spend so that your actual activity is clear.
Review your plan regularly, especially after a significant win, loss or change in your financial circumstances.

Take a break or exclude yourself

If you need space from gambling, use an available time-out or break option, or ask for your account to be restricted or closed. Self-exclusion is a stronger step for people who want to stop gambling for a longer period. During a self-exclusion period, do not create another account, use another person’s account or attempt to bypass the restriction. These actions can make it harder to maintain your decision and may expose other people to risk.

If you decide to stop, remove gambling applications or shortcuts from your devices, turn off promotional notifications where possible and avoid storing payment details for easy access. Consider asking your bank or financial provider about gambling transaction controls if that option is available to you. Giving a trusted person practical support, such as helping you review finances, can also make a break easier to maintain.

Account limits, breaks, exclusions and related requests may be subject to the applicable account process and verification requirements. If you want to make a change, use the responsible gambling or account support options available on the website. Do not continue gambling while waiting for help if you believe your play is becoming unsafe. Stop, log out and seek independent support.

Protect young people and other users

Online gambling is for adults aged 18 years or over. Do not allow children or other unauthorised people to access your account, device or payment methods. Use a strong password, keep your login information private and use suitable parental controls or device restrictions where appropriate. If you believe another person has accessed your account, change your password and contact the available account support channel promptly.

Getting help and further support

You do not have to manage gambling concerns alone. In Australia, free and confidential gambling support is available through gambling counselling services and community health providers. Gambling Help Online is a recognised starting point for information, counselling and referral options. You may also speak with your GP, a mental health professional, a financial counsellor or a trusted support organisation in your state or territory.

A support professional can help you make a practical plan, understand triggers, manage urges, address financial concerns and rebuild routines affected by gambling. Support can also be helpful for family members, partners and friends who are affected by another person’s gambling. You can seek advice even if the person who gambles is not ready to ask for help.

If you are in immediate danger

If gambling has contributed to thoughts of self-harm, suicide, violence or another immediate danger, stop gambling and seek urgent help through emergency services or a crisis support service in your area. Move away from the gambling website, contact someone you trust and do not remain alone if you feel unsafe. Gambling support services can assist with gambling-related concerns, but urgent safety risks require immediate professional attention.

Our approach

Playjonny Casino provides responsible gaming information to help players make informed choices. We may ask questions or take steps where account activity raises concerns, in line with applicable requirements and our internal procedures. This can include providing information about limits, breaks or support, requesting further information, restricting activity or closing an account where appropriate. Responsible gambling is a shared responsibility: we provide tools and information, while each player remains responsible for deciding whether gambling is suitable for them.

If you are unsure whether gambling is right for you, the safest choice is not to play. Read the applicable website terms, consider your personal circumstances and seek independent advice before continuing. Taking a break is always a valid decision, and asking for help is a positive step.
