Responsible Gaming
We at Platincasino care about our players and want to ensure that your time spent with us stays fun and enjoyable.
We strive to support you in ensuring safe and responsible gaming behaviour by offering the tool and information you need so that you can take the right decisions.
Gambling should be purely a source of entertainment. Here are some tips for safe betting:
- Gambling should be only treated as a form of entertainment.
- Only gamble money you can afford to lose.
- Know your limits and be clear about them before you start to gamble. Do not wager more that you are prepared to spend.
- Do not gamble when you have negative emotions, such as when you are stressed, frustrated, or disappointed.
- Do not gamble when you are under influence of medication or alcohol.
- Plan how much time you would like to spend on gambling and stick to your plans.
- Do not chase your losses.

As part of our commitment to responsible gambling we provide several options to customers who would like to take a break from gambling.
