At Slots Temple, we’re proud to continue our commitment to responsible gaming during Safer Gambling Week 2024. This annual initiative emphasises the importance of keeping gambling fun and safe, ensuring players enjoy online slots as entertainment, not as a way to make money. Throughout this week, we’ll be sharing updated tips, tools, and resources across our social media and blog to help you stay in control of your gambling habits.

Essential Tips for Responsible Gambling in 2024

Staying safe while gambling starts with a few simple but effective practices. Here are updated tips to help you maintain responsible gaming habits:

Remember that gambling isn’t a way to make money

Slots and other casino games are designed to make more instead of giving away money. So, you should never view gambling as a way to earn cash. It should simply be looked at as a source of fun rather than a source of money.

Limit your alcohol intake when gambling.

Since drinking alcohol affects your inhibitions, if you’re imbibing while you play casino games, you may end up making some irresponsible decisions.

Set spending and time limits before you play.

Before you begin playing, decide in advance how much you can afford to spend (in terms of time and money) for the session.

Don’t chase your losses.

While you might want to win back your losses, it’s important that you avoid doing this ever. You should go into a session understanding that once your money is gone that you should leave it this way, as trying to win it back could lead to much bigger losses in the long term.

Don’t gamble when you’re in a bad mood.

You should always keep a clear head and be in the right state of mind when gambling. If you’re feeling upset or depressed, you may be inclined to make bad decisions about your spending.

Responsible Gambling Tools

Licenced online casinos, including the real-money platform at Slots Temple, continue to offer a variety of tools designed to support safer gambling habits. These tools have become even more accessible and user-friendly in 2024:

  • Deposit Limits: Set daily, weekly, or monthly caps on how much you can deposit.
  • Timeouts: Take a short break by restricting access to your account for anywhere from 24 hours to 6 weeks.
  • Self-Exclusion: Opt for a longer break by self-excluding for up to 6 months or more.
  • Reality Checks: Receive regular pop-up reminders to keep track of how long you’ve been playing.

We encourage all players to use these tools proactively to manage their gambling time and spending effectively.

Accessing Support When You Need It

If you feel your gambling habits are becoming problematic, there are plenty of resources available to help you regain control:

  • Safer Gambling UK: A comprehensive resource hub for tips, advice, and self-assessment tools.
  • GamCare: Offers confidential support, a recovery toolkit, and an online community to connect with others who understand your experience.
