Responsible Gaming at Crocoslots Casino

Gambling is entertainment. It should be fun and not become a problem. At Crocoslots we take player protection seriously and offer various tools and resources to keep gaming under control.

This page provides all the information you need to gamble responsibly, recognize warning signs and find help if necessary.

Core Principles of Responsible Gaming

A few simple rules can help keep gambling under control:

Set Yourself a Budget

Before you play, decide how much money you can and want to spend. This money should be "spare" - not intended for rent, food or other important expenses. When the budget is used up, stop playing. Don't reload to chase losses.

Play as Pastime, Not as Income Source

Online casinos are mathematically designed so the house wins long-term. Individual sessions can end positively, but over time the majority of players lose. Anyone playing with the expectation of making money will be disappointed.

Mind Time Limits

Hours of playing without breaks leads to poor decisions. Take regular breaks, get up, move around. The session timers at Crocoslots can help keep track of time.

Don't Play Under Influence

Alcohol, drugs or strong emotions (anger, sadness) impair judgment. Only play when you can think clearly and are emotionally stable.

Self-Control Tools at Crocoslots

Crocoslots offers various features to control your gaming behavior. You'll find these in your account area under "Responsible Gaming" or "Limits".

Deposit Limits

You can set how much you're allowed to deposit maximum:

• Daily Limit - Maximum amount per 24 hours
• Weekly Limit - Maximum amount per 7 days
• Monthly Limit - Maximum amount per 30 days

These limits are immediately active once you set them. If you want to increase them, there's a waiting period of 24-72 hours. This prevents impulsive decisions in emotional moments.

Loss Limits

Similar to deposit limits but based on net losses. When you reach the set limit, you can't play for the rest of the period. This protects against uncontrolled losing streaks.

Bet Limits

Some players bet too high amounts per spin or hand when frustrated. With bet limits you can cap the maximum bet per game round. This forces you to play thoughtfully.

Session Timer and Reality Check

The session timer reminds you after certain playtime (e.g. 1, 2 or 4 hours) to take a break. The reality check shows your current wins/losses. Both help keep overview.

Cool-Off Period

If you notice you need a break, you can lock your account for 24 hours, 48 hours, 1 week or up to 6 weeks. During this time you can't log in and receive no promotional emails either.

Self-Exclusion

For longer or permanent blocks there's the self-exclusion option. You can choose between:

• 6 months
• 1 year
• 2 years
• 5 years
• Permanent (forever)

During self-exclusion no access to the account is possible. After the time expires you can reactivate but not before. Take this option seriously - it's for situations where gambling has really become a problem.

Warning Signs for Problem Gambling

Sometimes you don't notice yourself that gambling is getting out of control. Here are typical warning signs:

Financial Warning Signs

• You spend more money than you can afford
• You borrow money to gamble or cover losses
• You neglect important bills (rent, utilities, etc.)
• You have debts caused by gambling
• You hide expenses from family or friends

Emotional and Psychological Warning Signs

• You constantly think about gambling, even when not playing
• You need increasingly higher stakes to get the same "kick"
• You feel restless or irritable when you can't gamble
• You gamble to suppress negative feelings (stress, anxiety, depression)
• You lie about your gambling behavior

Behavioral Warning Signs

• You repeatedly try to quit but can't
• You neglect work, studies or family because of gambling
• You play secretly or at unusual times (at night, during work)
• You "chase" losses - try to win back lost money
• You continue gambling despite negative consequences

If several of these points apply to you, it's time to seek help. Gambling addiction is a recognized illness and nothing to be ashamed of.

The Reality of Gambling - What You Should Know

Casinos are businesses and need to be profitable. That means: Long-term the house always wins. Individual players can get lucky and win, but statistically the majority loses.

How Slots Work

Every slot has an RTP (Return to Player) value, e.g. 96%. That means: Of €100 wagered, an average of €96 is paid out as winnings, €4 the casino keeps. "Average" means over millions of spins - short-term anything can happen.

Results are random and unpredictable. There are no "hot" or "cold" slots. Each spin is independent of the previous one. Winning streaks end eventually, losing streaks too.

The Illusion of "Near Miss"

Many slots deliberately show you "near misses" - two scatter symbols instead of three, almost jackpot etc. This triggers the feeling "next time it'll work". But statistically a near miss is just as far from a real win as any other result.

Chasing Losses - Why It Rarely Works

"Chasing" losses is one of the most dangerous behaviors. The logic is: "I lost €100, if I keep playing I'll win it back." But the casino's mathematics don't change. Usually this just leads to even bigger losses.

Tips for Healthy Gaming Behavior

If you follow these rules, you'll likely stay in the green zone:

• Only play with money you can afford to lose
• Set yourself a loss limit before each session and stick to it
• Take regular breaks (at least 10 minutes per hour)
• Don't play to forget problems or suppress negative feelings
• Keep your stakes low relative to your budget
• View losses as "cost of entertainment", not investment
• Celebrate wins but don't expect them to repeat
• Tell friends or family about your gaming behavior - openness helps
• Use the tools the casino offers (limits, reality check etc.)
• If you notice you're losing control - stop immediately and seek help
