Responsible Gaming Policy

1. Our Responsibility and Philosophy
At YouGMedia B.V., responsible gaming is not an afterthought, but one of our core principles. And these are not just empty words. We are aware of our responsibility to create an environment where gaming remains safe, enjoyable and, most importantly, harmless. Our approach is based on strong ethics, transparency and risk mitigation. This includes protecting minors, supporting vulnerable users and providing tools and relevant information to make responsible decisions.
So, our philosophy in this area is simple: gambling should always be entertainment, not a financial strategy. We strive to ensure that all customers, regardless of their level of experience, understand the risks and have access to appropriate support.
2. Commitment to Safe Gaming
We are committed to a multi-layered strategy and promote safe gaming practices. So, we:
- Prevent minors and unauthorized persons from accessing our betting services;
- Promote informed decision-making through education and support tools;
- Monitor suspicious or compulsive behavior and take appropriate prompt action;
- Provide comprehensive tools for account control (limits, timeouts, exclusions);
- Provide access to professional help, referrals to consulting organizations;
- Continuously improve responsible gaming protocols based on new technologies.
3. Informed Player Base
We believe that transparency is the key to the development of responsible gaming. We ensure that our players have clear and easily accessible information about:
- The risks of compulsive gambling;
- Self-regulation tools available on our platform;
- How to access third-party support services (listed below).
We also ensure that all advertising and promotions we run are age-appropriate and do not mislead users in any way into thinking that gambling is a guaranteed way to make money. We hide nothing.
4. Recommendations for Control
To help our users stay safe, we recommend the following methods:
- Set a clear budget for gambling and never exceed it (even when you really want to);
- Do not consider gambling as a source of income or a way to compensate for financial losses;
- Take regular breaks and avoid long gaming sessions (keep track of time yourself!);
- Do not play when intoxicated, depressed or emotionally unstable – this is a risk factor;
- Combine gambling with other forms of recreation and socializing;
- Track your gaming activity – view your account history and statistics;
- Use our tools (below) to manage your account, set individual limits and time restrictions;
- Feel free to contact our customer support if you need help setting up the appropriate account settings.
5. Account Management Tools
Our platform offers reliable tools to manage your actions for responsible gambling:
5.1. Deposit Limits
Set a limit on the amount of deposit you can make in a certain period (day, week, month). This will help prevent overspending and will help you plan your budget.
5.2. Loss Limits
Determine the amount you are willing and able to lose in a certain period of time. Once this threshold is reached, further bets will be automatically limited.
5.3. Betting Limits
Set a maximum bet amount for a certain period – control the size of your bets.
5.4. Session Time Limits
Set a maximum length for your gaming session to prevent prolonged and potentially unhealthy gambling.
5.5. Time-out Periods
Take a voluntary short break from gambling. Choose 24 hours, 48 hours, 7 days or 30 days. Your account will remain fully accessible for withdrawals, but betting features will be disabled.
5.6. Self-Exclusion
This powerful long-term exclusion tool allows you to block access to your account for 1 month, 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, 5 years or even forever! Self-exclusion cannot be reversed until the end of the selected period. What happens during this time?
- All bets are disabled;
- Any remaining balance is refunded upon request;
- Access is only restored after a 24-hour cooling-off period, after the user explicitly requests reactivation.
6. Changing Limits and Settings
If you decide to change your account limits:
- Limit reductions (e.g. deposit or loss limits) are effective immediately;
- Limit increases are possible, however, only after a 7-day cooling-off period (to prevent impulsive changes);
- A timeout extension or self-exclusion is activated immediately upon request;
- A timeout or self-exclusion reduction is only permitted after the current cooling-off period and the 24-hour cooling-off period have expired.
These protocols are designed to ensure that changes are considered and considered, rather than emotional decisions made in the moment.
7. Preventing Underage Gambling
It is illegal for anyone under 18 (or the legal age in the relevant jurisdiction) to gamble. Our platform ensures compliance with this rule by:
- Mandatory age verification for all new accounts;
- Random age verification if suspicious activity is suspected;
- Automatic confiscation of winnings and account blocking if they are found to belong to underage users;
- Possible reporting to law enforcement (if necessary).
8. Support for Parents and Guardians
At the same time, we strongly recommend that parents use filtering and monitoring tools. Limit your children’s access to gaming content yourself too! Recommended tools for this:
- Net Nanny: comprehensive filtering software (with support for mobile devices);
- CYBERsitter: customizable parental controls;
- GamBlock: specialized software for blocking any gaming content;
- Betfilter: specialized software for blocking access to gaming platforms.
In addition, as you know, most Internet providers and operating systems also offer built-in parental control features.
9. External Help and Support Services
For people struggling with gambling addiction or concerned family members, we recommend that you seek help from the following reputable and trusted organizations:
- Gamblers Anonymous: a support group for people struggling with gambling addiction – https://www.gamblersanonymous.org.uk;
- Gambling Therapy: multilingual counseling and emotional support – https://www.gamblingtherapy.org;
Responsible Gaming (Cyprus): a government resource with tools, advice, financial tracking and self-assessment – http://responsiblegaming.gov.cy.
