Our Commitment to Safer Gambling
At Reviant, we are deeply committed to fostering a safe and responsible gaming environment for all our players. We understand that while gambling can be an entertaining and enjoyable pastime, it can also, for a small minority, lead to problems. Our policy is designed to minimise the potential for harm, provide tools for self-management, and offer support to those who may need it. We adhere strictly to the regulations set forth by our licensing authority and continuously review our practices to ensure they meet the highest standards of player protection. Our goal is to ensure that your experience with Reviant remains positive, controlled, and within your personal limits. We believe that responsible gambling is a shared responsibility, and we provide the resources for you to play safely.
Recognising the Signs of Problem Gambling
Identifying problem gambling early is crucial. It is important to understand that gambling addiction is a serious condition that can affect anyone, regardless of their background or financial status. Some common indicators that gambling may be becoming a problem include:
- Spending more money or time gambling than you can afford or intended.
- Chasing losses, attempting to win back money you have lost.
- Feeling irritable or restless when trying to cut down or stop gambling.
- Neglecting responsibilities at work, school, or home due to gambling.
- Lying to family or friends about the extent of your gambling.
- Borrowing money or selling possessions to fund gambling.
- Gambling to escape from problems or feelings of anxiety or depression.
- Having arguments with loved ones about your gambling habits.
Keeping Gambling Fun and Under Control
Maintaining control over your gambling activities is key to keeping it an enjoyable form of entertainment. Here are some practical tips to help you stay in control:
- Gamble for entertainment, not as a way to make money. View gambling as a leisure activity with a cost, similar to going to a concert or sporting event.
- Set strict limits on how much money you will spend and stick to them. Never gamble with money you cannot afford to lose.
- Set time limits for your gambling sessions. Take regular breaks and do not let gambling consume excessive amounts of your time.
- Never chase losses. Accept that losing is part of gambling and do not try to win back money you have lost by increasing your stakes or playing longer.
- Balance gambling with other activities. Ensure gambling does not become your only source of entertainment or social interaction.
- Avoid gambling when you are feeling stressed, upset, or under the influence of alcohol or drugs. These states can impair your judgment.
Setting Deposit, Loss and Wager Limits
Reviant empowers you to manage your spending proactively through our self-imposed limit features. These tools allow you to set financial boundaries that help keep your gambling within your comfort zone.
- Deposit Limits: You can set a maximum amount of money you can deposit into your Reviant account over a specified period, such as daily, weekly, or monthly. Once this limit is reached, you will be prevented from depositing further funds until the period resets.
- Loss Limits: This feature allows you to define the maximum amount of money you are prepared to lose within a specific timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly). If your net losses reach this threshold, you will be unable to place further wagers until the limit period concludes.
- Wager Limits: You can set a maximum total amount you wish to wager over a daily, weekly, or monthly period. This helps control the overall volume of your betting activity.
Time-Outs and Cool-Off Periods
If you feel you need a short break from gambling, Reviant offers Time-Out and Cool-Off options. These features allow you to temporarily restrict access to your account for a defined period.
A Time-Out or Cool-Off period can be set for durations such as 24 hours, 48 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During this period, you will not be able to log in to your Reviant account, deposit funds, or place any wagers. This provides a temporary respite, allowing you to reflect on your gambling habits without the pressure of immediate access to gaming. Once the chosen period expires, your account will automatically reactivate, and you will regain full access. You can initiate a Time-Out or Cool-Off period through your account settings.
Self-Exclusion Options
For players who feel they need a more significant break from gambling, Reviant offers a comprehensive Self-Exclusion program. Self-exclusion is a formal process that allows you to voluntarily close your account and prevent yourself from accessing our services for an extended period.
You can choose to self-exclude for periods ranging from six months to five years, or even permanently. During a self-exclusion period:
- Your Reviant account will be immediately closed, and you will be unable to log in.
- We will take all reasonable steps to prevent you from opening new accounts with Reviant.
- You will be removed from all marketing and promotional mailing lists.
- Any remaining balance in your account will be returned to you in accordance with our terms and conditions.
Protecting Minors
Reviant is strictly committed to preventing underage gambling. Our services are explicitly designed for individuals who are 18 years of age or older, or the legal age for gambling in their jurisdiction, whichever is higher. We employ robust age verification procedures during the registration process to ensure that no minors can access our platform.
Our measures include:
- Rigorous Age Verification: We require all new players to provide verifiable proof of age. This typically involves submitting identification documents that confirm their date of birth.
- Third-Party Verification: We utilise trusted third-party services to cross-reference and verify the age and identity information provided by our players.
- Account Suspension: Any account found to belong to a minor will be immediately suspended, and any winnings forfeited.
- Parental Controls: We encourage parents and guardians to use filtering software to prevent minors from accessing gambling websites. Many effective tools are available online that can block access to specific content.
Reality Checks and Session Reminders
To help you monitor the time you spend gambling, Reviant offers a "Reality Check" feature. This tool provides periodic notifications during your gaming sessions, reminding you how long you have been playing.
You can set the frequency of these reminders, for example, every 30 minutes or every hour. When a Reality Check pops up, it will display:
- The duration of your current gaming session.
- Your net winnings or losses during that session.
- Options to continue playing, review your account history, or log out.
Taking a Self-Assessment
Understanding your own gambling habits is a crucial step towards responsible play. Reviant encourages all players to periodically take a self-assessment to evaluate their gambling behaviour. While not a clinical diagnosis, these assessments can provide valuable insights and indicate whether your gambling might be moving into problematic territory.
A typical self-assessment might include questions such as:
- Do you spend more money on gambling than you intended?
- Do you feel the need to gamble with increasing amounts of money to achieve the desired excitement?
- Have you tried to control, cut back, or stop gambling, but been unsuccessful?
- Do you feel restless or irritable when attempting to cut down or stop gambling?
- Are you often preoccupied with gambling (e.g., constantly thinking about past gambling experiences, planning the next venture, or thinking of ways to get money to gamble)?
- Do you gamble when feeling distressed (e.g., helpless, guilty, anxious, depressed)?
- Have you jeopardised or lost a significant relationship, job, or educational or career opportunity because of gambling?
- Do you rely on others to provide money to relieve a desperate financial situation caused by gambling?
