Slotornado

Our Commitment to Responsible Play

At Slotornado, we believe that a responsible approach to gaming is fundamental to an enjoyable experience. We are committed to providing tools and resources that empower our players to manage their activity effectively. Our platform is licensed under the Tobique Gaming Commission and operated by Metlait SRL, a company that prioritises player well-being.

To support this commitment, we offer a range of self-service tools accessible directly from your account settings. These are designed to help you maintain control and ensure your gameplay remains within comfortable boundaries.

Setting Limits for Controlled Play

We provide several types of limits to help you manage your spending and playing time. These can be adjusted at any time through your account settings, offering flexibility while ensuring safety.

  • **Deposit Limits:** Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a daily, weekly, or monthly period.
  • **Loss Limits:** Define the maximum amount you are willing to lose over a daily, weekly, or monthly timeframe.
  • **Wager Limits:** Cap the total amount you can wager within a daily, weekly, or monthly period.

Adjusting these limits is straightforward. Navigate to the 'Responsible Gaming' section within your account. For limit increases, please note that these will take effect after a confirmation period, as per regulatory requirements. Decreases are applied immediately.

Taking a Break When Needed

We understand that sometimes a break is beneficial. Slotornado offers both temporary cooling-off periods and more comprehensive self-exclusion options.

  • **Cooling-Off Periods:** You can choose to temporarily suspend your account activity for 1 week, 1 month, 3 months, or 6 months. During this time, you will not be able to deposit or play, and promotional emails will be paused. You will still be able to withdraw any remaining balance.
  • **Self-Exclusion:** For a more significant break, you can choose to self-exclude for 6 months, 9 months, 1 year, or indefinitely. During a self-exclusion period, your account will be fully deactivated, and you will not be able to log in or deposit. Remaining balances can be withdrawn upon request through our support team.

These options are available within the 'Responsible Gaming' section of your account. Activating self-exclusion or a cooling-off period is a definitive measure taken to ensure your well-being.

Additional Support and Resources

Beyond our platform tools, we actively encourage players to seek external support if needed. We provide links to reputable organisations dedicated to helping individuals manage problem gambling.

  • Gamblers Anonymous New Zealand
  • Gambling Therapy
  • GamCare
  • Problem Gambling Foundation of New Zealand

Our customer support team is also available 24/7 via live chat and email to assist with any queries regarding responsible gambling tools or to provide information on accessing external support services.

Understanding Your Play: A Measured Approach to Responsible Gambling

At Slotornado, our commitment extends beyond providing an engaging gaming experience. We believe in fostering an environment where players can enjoy their sessions with confidence. This includes offering tools and information to help you maintain a healthy balance with your play. Recognizing the early signs of potential issues is a key part of this approach.

Recognising the Signs

While most players enjoy casino games responsibly, it is helpful to be aware of behaviours that might indicate gambling is becoming problematic. These are not definitive diagnoses, but rather points for honest self-reflection.

  • Chasing losses: Returning to play repeatedly in an attempt to win back money that has been lost.
  • Neglecting responsibilities: Allowing gambling to interfere with work, family obligations, social commitments, or personal well-being.
  • Hiding activity: Being secretive about the amount of time or money spent on gambling, or lying to others about it.
  • Increased preoccupation: Thinking about gambling more often than usual, or planning the next gambling session during other activities.
  • Mood changes: Experiencing irritability, anxiety, or depression when unable to gamble, or feeling euphoric while gambling.

The Value of Proactive Limits

We strongly encourage all our players to utilise the responsible gambling tools we provide. Setting limits for deposits, losses, and wagers is a straightforward way to manage your play proactively. These tools are available in your account settings and can be adjusted as needed. Implementing limits early can help prevent issues from developing, rather than trying to address them once they have escalated.

Our responsible gambling measures include: deposit limits, loss limits, wager limits, cooling-off periods, and self-exclusion options. These are self-service features designed to support your control over your gaming sessions. You can find them readily accessible in the 'Responsible Gaming' section of our website.
