Responsible Gambling
Gambling should remain a paid form of entertainment and should never be treated as income or a way to recover financial losses.
Keep gambling controlled
Set a budget before depositing and use only money that is not needed for rent, bills, food, debt or other essential expenses. Avoid borrowing to gamble, increasing stakes to recover a loss or continuing when gambling is causing stress.
Account controls
Regal Rush may provide deposit limits, time-outs, reality checks and self-exclusion. The activation method can differ by account and may require contact with support.
- Deposit limits restrict how much can be added during a selected period.
- Time-outs or cooling-off periods temporarily block access.
- Reality checks provide reminders during play.
- Self-exclusion blocks access for the selected exclusion period.
Warning signs
Warning signs can include hiding gambling, borrowing money, missing payments, chasing losses, spending more time or money than planned, or feeling anxious when unable to gamble. Stop playing and seek support when gambling begins to affect finances, health, work or relationships.
Self-exclusion and account support
A self-exclusion request should state the account details and requested period clearly. During exclusion, do not attempt to create another account or use another person's payment method. Account and responsible gambling enquiries can be sent to [email protected].
