• Deposit limits: Players can set limits on the amount of money they deposit within a specified timeframe. This helps manage spending and encourages responsible budgeting.
• Loss limits: Players can establish limits on the amount they are willing to lose during a gaming session. This ensures that losses do not exceed personal comfort levels.

• Session time limits: Players can set time limits for their gaming sessions, promoting breaks and preventing extended periods of play.
• Cooling-off periods: Players may opt for a cooling-off period, during which their account will be temporarily suspended. This allows for a break from gaming if needed.
• Self-exclusion options: Players can choose to self-exclude from the platform for a set period or indefinitely. This is a critical step for those who recognize a need to take a break from gambling.

Self-Assessment

Fairgobets encourages players to reflect on their gambling behavior through a structured list of questions. Considering these questions can help identify early signs of problematic behavior:

1. Do you often gamble to escape from personal problems or stress?
2. Have you ever felt the need to bet more money than you initially planned?
3. Do you chase losses by continuing to gamble after losing money?
4. Have you experienced feelings of guilt or shame regarding your gambling habits?
5. Is gambling interfering with your work, social life, or relationships?
6. Do you find it difficult to stop gambling even when you want to?
7. Have you ever lied about your gambling activities to others?
8. Do you regularly borrow money to gamble?

Players who answer yes to several of these questions should consider seeking assistance or utilizing the responsible gaming tools available on the platform.

Protection of Minors

Fairgobets takes the protection of minors seriously. The platform employs strict safeguards and procedures to prevent underage access, including:

• Age verification: All players must verify their age during the registration process. This ensures that only individuals aged 18 and over can create an account and access the gaming services.

Early Warning Signs of Problematic Gambling Behavior

Recognizing early warning signs is crucial for preventing gambling-related harm. Some common indicators include:

• Increasing frequency of play or longer gaming sessions.
• Neglecting personal responsibilities or commitments due to gambling.
• Feeling anxious or irritable when not gambling.
• Experiencing financial difficulties as a result of gambling activities.
• Using gambling as a way to cope with stress or emotional issues.

Immediate Action for Losing Control

Players who feel they are losing control should take immediate action. This may include:

• Utilizing self-control tools available on the Fairgobets platform to limit deposits, losses, or session times.
• Taking a break from gaming by implementing a cooling-off period or self-exclusion.
• Reaching out to support organizations for guidance and assistance.
• Talking to trusted friends or family members about gambling habits.

Account Restriction and Self-Exclusion Mechanisms

Fairgobets provides players with the ability to restrict their accounts or self-exclude. This process is straightforward and involves the following steps:

• Choosing the desired restriction or self-exclusion duration.
• Confirming the choice to implement the restriction, ensuring that the player is aware of the implications.

Once an account is restricted or self-excluded, players will not be able to access their accounts until the designated period has ended or until they decide to lift the self-exclusion after a careful review.
