Our Commitment to Responsible Gambling
This website is committed to promoting safe and responsible gambling. Gambling should always be an enjoyable leisure activity โ never a way to earn money or escape personal problems. We believe every player has the right to access tools and information to keep their gambling under control.
We only link to licensed casinos that offer responsible gambling features, and we actively promote the use of those tools on this page.
Is Gambling Right for You?
Before you play, ask yourself these questions honestly:
- Do I gamble only with money I can afford to lose?
- Am I gambling for entertainment, not to chase losses or make money?
- Do I take regular breaks and set time limits?
- Does my gambling not interfere with work, family, or finances?
- Can I walk away at any point without distress?
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling develops gradually. Early warning signs include:
- Spending more money or time gambling than you intended
- Feeling anxious or irritable when you cannot gamble
- Gambling to recover money you have already lost ("chasing losses")
- Neglecting work, family, or social obligations because of gambling
- Hiding the extent of your gambling from family or friends
- Borrowing money or selling possessions to fund gambling
- Feeling that gambling is the only way to feel excited or happy
- Lying about how much money you have won or lost
Tools Available at the Casino
Win Shark Casino provides a range of player-protection tools accessible from your account settings:
Deposit Limits
Set daily, weekly, or monthly limits on how much you can deposit. Limits take effect immediately. You can lower your limits at any time; raising them requires a cooling-off period (typically 24 hours or more).
Loss Limits
Cap the amount you can lose in a given period. Once the limit is reached, you will be unable to play until the period resets.
Session Time Limits & Reality Checks
Set a maximum play duration per session. Reality checks send you a notification at set intervals to remind you how long you have been playing and how much you have wagered.
Cool-off Periods
Take a short break from gambling for 1 day, 1 week, or 1 month. During a cool-off, you cannot deposit or place bets. You can end the cool-off early if you choose.
Self-Exclusion
If you need a longer break, self-exclusion blocks your account for a minimum of 6 months up to permanent exclusion. During self-exclusion you will not receive marketing materials.

Underage Gambling Prevention
Gambling is strictly for adults (18+ in most countries). If you share a device with minors, we strongly recommend installing parental control software:
Financial Health
Only ever gamble with money you can comfortably afford to lose. Never gamble with rent, food, or bill money. If gambling is causing financial hardship, contact a debt advice service immediately:
