Responsible Gaming

Responsible Gambling

We want to ensure that our customers have a safe and enjoyable experience on Sky Vegas. Here, you'll find information about maintaining balanced gaming habits, managing your budget and bankroll, setting limits, and much more.

Safe and Balanced Gaming Habits

Gaming should be treated as entertainment, not income. Set aside money for leisure activities in advance, including betting on our platform, to avoid unnecessary financial strain.

Budgeting and Bankroll Management

Set a Budget: Decide how much you're willing to spend before playing.
Know Your Spending Limits: Keep track of your wins and losses.
Bankroll Size: Manage the amount deposited for gaming sessions to prevent running out unexpectedly.

Deposit, Loss, Wager, and Session Limits

To help you stay in control:

Deposit Limits: You can set a limit on how much you deposit. This is usually managed through the account settings within your Sky Vegas account.
Loss Limits: If your balance falls below a certain level (as configured), we'll notify you to stop playing, helping prevent further financial loss.
Wagering Limits: Limit yourself by setting maximum bet sizes based on your bankroll size and current spending goals.
Session Time Limits: Take breaks between gaming sessions or set timers through the tools available in My Account.

Reality Checks and Time Reminders

Don't get caught up in the moment:

Reality Check Tools: Accessible within the platform, these reminders alert you about your total session time to encourage responsible gaming.
Schedule Breaks: Set breaks from gaming to ensure regular downtime for relaxation and refreshment.

Cooling-off Periods and Self-exclusion Tools

Sometimes, it's good to step away:

Cooling-Off Periods: Temporarily close access to the account if you need time out. This can be anywhere from 24 hours to a set period.
Self-Exclusion: More serious cases may warrant removing your account for up to five years or indefinitely.

Account Verification and Age Restrictions

Your safety is our priority:

Age Restriction Enforcement: Our policies are designed with under-aged protection in mind. The age limit is 18.
Verification Processes: Verify your identity on each login and during sign-ups, providing you peace of mind that our platform adheres to regulatory standards.

Protection of Vulnerable Players

All players deserve fair treatment:

Awareness Campaigns: Regular campaigns are conducted through the help center to guide you in making informed decisions.
Additional Support for Problem Gamblers: Know that there's extra support available through independent resources listed on our Safer-Gambling page.
