5.1. Responsible Gaming Section and Accessibility
The Company maintains a dedicated and easily identifiable Responsible Gaming Section on all brand websites and mobile applications.
A clear and permanent link to this section is displayed on the homepage and within navigation menus, ensuring that players can access Responsible Gaming information at any time.
The Responsible Gaming Section:
All Responsible Gaming information is presented in clear, accessible language and reviewed regularly to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements and player protection standards.

These mechanisms enable players to monitor their gambling activity, recognize early warning signs of harm, and make informed decisions about their play.

The Company provides players with access to their gaming and transactional history through the player account interface, subject to technical availability and third-party provider integrations.
Available account information may include:
Where full historical data is not directly accessible via the player interface due to third-party system limitations, players may request extended or consolidated account history from Customer Support.
Upon request, the Company provides available historical gaming and transactional data within ten (10) working days.
All account data are stored and processed in accordance with applicable data-protection and retention requirements.
6.2. Purpose of Self-Assessment
The self-assessment process encourages players to regularly reflect on their gambling behaviour and to recognise whether their activity remains within healthy, recreational limits
The Company provides tools and questionnaires that help players identify potential risks and take control of their behaviour before it escalates into harm.
Players are prompted, both proactively and through the Responsible Gaming Section, to complete a voluntary self-assessment whenever behavioural markers indicate signs of potential risk (e.g., increased frequency of play, cancelled withdrawals, repeated limit changes).
6.3. Self-Assessment Tools Provided
The Company provides access to a self-assessment screening tool to assist players in evaluating their gambling behaviour.
The Gamblers Anonymous 20-Question Test is accessible via the Responsible Gaming Section and linked to the official website of Gamblers Anonymous (https://gamblersanonymous.org/20-questions/).
The Company issues periodic reminders, at least every six (6) months, through an on-platform pop-up notification directing players to the Responsible Gaming Section where the self assessment tool is available.
The Company applies proportionate and structured monitoring of player behaviour in order to identify potential indicators of gambling-related harm and to implement timely and appropriate interventions where necessary.
Behaviour monitoring forms part of the Company’s Responsible Gaming framework and is conducted in accordance with applicable regulatory requirements, including the prohibition on offering gaming opportunities to individuals who may reasonably be considered vulnerable.
The monitoring approach is risk-based and considers patterns of behaviour rather than isolated events.
7.1. Key Risk Indicators
The Company monitors behavioural and transactional indicators that may suggest elevated risk. These may include, but are not limited to:
The presence of a single indicator does not automatically classify a player as experiencing gambling harm. Risk assessment is based on the overall behavioural pattern.

Where behavioural indicators suggest elevated risk, the Company applies a graduated and proportionate intervention approach:
1. Informative Intervention
The player may be contacted and reminded of available Responsible Gaming tools, including deposit limits, time-outs, and self-exclusion options.
2. Restrictive Measures
Where appropriate, the Company may apply proportionate restrictions, such as deposit limits or temporary account suspension pending review.
3. Account Closure
In cases of persistent or severe risk, the Company may close the account in order to prevent further harm.
All measures are applied in a manner that is proportionate, documented, and consistent with internal procedures.
7.3 Documentation and Record-Keeping
All Responsible Gaming interactions, whether initiated by the player or the Company, are recorded in the Player Account Management (PAM) system.
Records include:
This ensures traceability, accountability, and regulatory compliance.
7.4 Protection of Legitimate Withdrawals
Under no circumstances shall Responsible Gaming measures be used as a pretext to delay, refuse, or interfere with legitimate withdrawal requests.
Responsible Gaming interventions are applied solely for player protection purposes and not for commercial advantage.
The Company maintains effective processes and technological tools that empower players to manage their own gambling behavior through self-regulation and temporary or long-term restrictions.
Two mechanisms are permanently available via the Responsible Gaming Section on all Company websites and applications:
Players are free to choose either mechanism without influence or persuasion from the Company.

Players are clearly informed of the differences between both mechanisms before confirming their selection.
