Responsible Gaming
Updated: June 2026
Casino Charles is committed to promoting a healthy approach to online gambling. On this page you will find information, tools and resources to help maintain control over your gambling activity.
Recognising Problem Gambling
Gambling becomes problematic when it starts to interfere with daily life, relationships or financial stability. Warning signs include:
- Gambling with money you cannot afford to lose
- Neglecting work, family or social obligations to gamble
- Chasing losses by increasing bet sizes
- Lying to friends or family about time or money spent gambling
- Feeling anxious or irritable when not gambling
- Borrowing money or selling assets to fund gambling
- Losing interest in activities you previously enjoyed
If you recognise any of these signs in yourself or someone you know, seeking help early is important.
Protection Tools
Deposit Limits
Set daily, weekly and monthly deposit caps to control your spending. Limits can be reduced immediately but increases require a 7-day cooling-off period to ensure the decision is considered.
Loss Limits
Define a maximum amount you are willing to lose per period. Once the limit is reached, further play is restricted until the next period begins.
Session Limits
Set a maximum playing time per session. When the time expires, you will be notified and the session will end automatically.
Cooling-Off Period
Take a temporary break from gambling by activating a cooling-off period. During this time you cannot access the platform or make deposits. Available durations range from 24 hours to 6 months.
Self-Exclusion
For more serious cases, self-exclusion permanently or semi-permanently closes your account. Once activated, this cannot be reversed during the selected period.
Tips for Safe Gambling
- Set a budget before each session and stick to it
- Never gamble under the influence of alcohol or substances
- Treat gambling as entertainment, not a source of income
- Do not chase losses by betting more
- Take regular breaks during playing sessions
- Avoid gambling when stressed, upset or emotional
- Maintain a healthy balance between gambling and other activities
Protecting Minors
Gambling is strictly for adults aged 18 and over. Casino Charles enforces mandatory age verification during registration and employs additional checks to prevent underage access.
If you share a device with minors, use parental control software and never save your login credentials in the browser.
