Gambling Addiction
All online casino players have the right to protect themselves from the scourge of gambling addiction! We here at Videopokiesonline.com view gambling as a form of entertainment and as such would like all our readers to follow these basic gambling guidelines:
- If you're unsure of how to play any of the online casino games then contact a casino representative (casino support) for assistance.
- If you don't know the rules of a casino game, don't play the game.
- Be sure that you really want to gamble. If you have doubts, then don't play.
- Always set a limit to the amount of casino credits you are prepared to purchase before you start to gamble. Stick to this amount, don't chase losses.
- Don't gamble if you are younger than the legal gambling age for your state or country.
- Don't gamble if you are in recovery for addictive disorders or dependencies.
- Should you suspect that your gambling is becoming a problem, please contact us and we will ensure that you do not receive any further promotional material from us.
Protecting minors
The first defence against minors gambling online, is of course responsible parenting. We understand however that the internet is readily accessible in many homes and to this end we have provided the following helpful tips for parents:
- Don't leave your computer unattended while your casino software is running.
- Ensure your casino program is password-protected.
- Don't allow persons under 18 to participate in any gambling activity.
- Make sure your casino account number and credit card(s) are kept out of the reach of children.
- Don't save passwords onto your computer, rather write them down.
- Set a limit for the amount of time your children spend online and make use of protective software to prevent your children from accessing inappropriate material.
