Responsible Gaming at Wild Tornado
At Wild Tornado, your safety and enjoyment are our top priorities. We believe gambling should be a fun and entertaining activity, but we also recognise that for some, it can become problematic. Our commitment is to provide a secure, transparent environment and practical tools to help you maintain control over your gaming habits.
Your Responsible Gaming Tools
We offer a range of features designed to help you manage your play responsibly and within your limits:
- Deposit Limits: Set daily, weekly, or monthly limits on the amount you can deposit to keep your spending in check.
- Wager and Loss Limits: Define maximum amounts for wagers and losses over chosen periods to control your risk exposure.
- Session Time Limits: Choose how long you want to play and receive reminders when your session time is up.
- Time-Out and Self-Exclusion: Temporarily suspend access to your account from 24 hours up to 6 months or longer if needed.
- Permanent Account Closure: If you decide to stop gambling permanently, you can request closure of your account at any time.
Recognising the Signs of Problem Gambling
It is important to be aware of behaviours that may indicate gambling is becoming a problem. If you notice any of the following, consider seeking help:
- Trying to win back losses by gambling more (chasing losses).
- Borrowing money or selling possessions to fund gambling.
- Spending more time or money gambling than originally intended.
- Neglecting work, family, or social commitments due to gambling.
- Experiencing conflicts with friends or family about your gambling habits.
- Using money intended for essentials like rent, bills, or food to gamble.
- Constantly thinking about gambling or planning your next session.
If you identify with any of these signs, please pause and use our responsible gaming tools or seek professional advice.
Tips for Maintaining Healthy Gambling Habits
- Decide on a loss limit before you start playing and never exceed it.
- Remember that gambling is a form of entertainment, not a way to make money.
- Never gamble with borrowed money or funds needed for essentials.
- Set time limits and take regular breaks during your sessions.
- Balance gambling with other hobbies, social activities, and responsibilities.
- Avoid gambling when feeling stressed, upset, or under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
- Only use money you can afford to lose—never gamble with essential household income.
