Responsible gambling

Gambling can be addictive. It is a form of entertainment, not a source of income. Winnings are never guaranteed; every bet can be lost.

Set limits on money and time

A fixed budget and time limit can help keep gambling under control. Money needed for rent, bills and everyday expenses should not be used for gambling. Trying to recover losses with further bets can lead to additional losses. Regular breaks can help create some distance.

Time-outs and self-exclusion

At Godz, deposit limits and time-outs can be set through your account or with support. You can request a 24-hour time-out as well as temporary or indefinite self-exclusion from Godz support.

Closing your account normally is not a substitute for self-exclusion. If gambling is becoming a problem, you should explicitly request self-exclusion from support. You must not open a new account while self-excluded.

Take warning signs seriously

Playing for longer than planned, hiding losses or borrowing money to gamble can indicate a problem. Conflict with family or friends, neglecting work and unsuccessful attempts to stop are also warning signs. A counselling service can help you discuss the next steps.
