Responsible Gambling

Our Commitment to Safer Gambling

At Aphrodite, we are dedicated to providing a secure and enjoyable online gaming environment. We understand that for most of our players, gambling is a form of entertainment. However, we also recognise that for a small percentage of individuals, gambling can become problematic. Our Responsible Gaming policy outlines our commitment to preventing problem gambling, protecting vulnerable players, and ensuring all our users can gamble responsibly. We adhere to the highest industry standards and the requirements set by our licensing authority to promote a safe and fair gaming experience for everyone. This commitment is integrated into our operations, from game design to customer support, ensuring that player well-being is always a priority at Aphrodite.

Recognising the Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can manifest in various ways, and it is important to be aware of the signs, both in yourself and in others. Recognising these indicators early can help prevent more serious issues. Some common signs include:
  • Spending more money or time gambling than you can afford or intended.
  • Feeling a need to be secretive about your gambling activities.
  • Chasing losses, meaning you try to win back money you have lost by gambling more.
  • Gambling affecting your relationships with family and friends.
  • Neglecting responsibilities at work, school, or home due to gambling.
  • Feeling anxious, guilty, or depressed after gambling.
  • Borrowing money or selling possessions to fund gambling.
  • Thinking about gambling constantly or finding it difficult to stop.
If you notice any of these signs in your own behaviour or in someone you know, it may be time to seek assistance. Aphrodite encourages open communication and provides tools to help manage gambling habits.

Keeping Gambling Fun and Under Control

Maintaining control over your gambling activities is key to ensuring it remains an enjoyable pastime. We recommend several practices to help you gamble responsibly:
  • Set a budget: Decide how much money you can afford to lose before you start playing and stick to it. Never gamble with money earmarked for essential expenses.
  • Set a time limit: Determine how long you will play and take regular breaks.
  • Do not chase losses: Accept that losses are a part of gambling and do not try to win back money you have lost by gambling more.
  • Balance gambling with other activities: Ensure gambling does not become your only form of entertainment. Maintain a healthy balance with other hobbies and social activities.
  • Avoid gambling when stressed or upset: Emotional states can impair judgment and lead to impulsive decisions.
Aphrodite offers various tools designed to help you manage your play effectively and keep your experience positive.

Setting Deposit, Loss and Wager Limits

Aphrodite provides you with the ability to set personalised limits on your account, giving you greater control over your gambling. These limits can help you manage your spending and time spent playing. You can set:
  • Deposit Limits: Restrict the amount of money you can deposit into your Aphrodite account over a specific period (daily, weekly, or monthly).
  • Loss Limits: Define the maximum amount of money you are willing to lose within a chosen timeframe. Once this limit is reached, you will be prevented from placing further bets until the period resets.
  • Wager Limits: Control the total amount of money you can wager over a specified period.
These limits can be adjusted at any time through your account settings. Any request to increase a limit will typically take a cool-off period to come into effect, allowing for reflection. Decreasing a limit, however, will usually take effect immediately. We encourage you to utilise these tools proactively to ensure your gambling remains within your comfort zone.

Time-Outs and Cool-Off Periods

If you feel you need a short break from gambling, Aphrodite offers Time-Out and Cool-Off period options. These features allow you to temporarily suspend your account for a defined duration.
  • Time-Out: You can choose to take a break for a shorter period, such as 24 hours, 48 hours, or 7 days. During this time, you will not be able to log in or access any real-money gaming services on Aphrodite.
  • Cool-Off Period: For slightly longer breaks, you can opt for a cool-off period of 1 month, 3 months, or 6 months. Similar to a Time-Out, your account will be inaccessible for real-money play during this period.
Once a Time-Out or Cool-Off period is set, it cannot be reversed until the chosen duration has expired. This provides a structured way to step away from gambling and reassess your habits without the temptation to log back in prematurely.

Self-Exclusion Options

For players who feel they need a more significant break from gambling, Aphrodite offers a comprehensive Self-Exclusion program. Self-exclusion allows you to voluntarily close your account for an extended period, typically 6 months, 1 year, 3 years, or 5 years. During a self-exclusion period:
  • Your Aphrodite account will be immediately closed, and you will not be able to log in.
  • We will take all reasonable steps to prevent you from opening new accounts with us.
  • You will be removed from all marketing lists and will not receive promotional materials from Aphrodite.
To initiate a self-exclusion, please contact our customer support team. They will guide you through the process and ensure all necessary steps are taken. Once a self-exclusion is activated, it cannot be revoked until the chosen period has fully elapsed. We strongly advise you to consider self-excluding from all other online gambling operators if you choose this option with Aphrodite.

Protecting Minors

Aphrodite is strictly committed to preventing underage gambling. Our services are not intended for, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from, individuals under the legal gambling age in their jurisdiction. We employ robust age verification procedures during the registration process to ensure that only eligible individuals can open an account and play on our platform. We strongly advise parents and guardians to:
  • Keep their Aphrodite account details confidential and secure.
  • Install parental control software on their devices to block access to gambling sites.
  • Educate their children about the risks associated with underage gambling.
  • Monitor their children's online activities.
If you suspect that an individual under the legal gambling age is using Aphrodite, please contact our customer support team immediately. We will investigate the matter thoroughly and take appropriate action, including account suspension and reporting to relevant authorities.

Reality Checks and Session Reminders

To help you keep track of your playing time, Aphrodite offers Reality Checks. A Reality Check is a pop-up notification that appears at predetermined intervals while you are playing. This reminder will inform you of:
  • How long you have been playing during your current session.
  • Your total winnings and losses during that session.
You will then have the option to continue playing, review your account history, or end your session. These regular prompts are designed to encourage you to take breaks and reflect on your gambling activity, promoting more mindful play. You can customise the frequency of these Reality Checks through your account settings to suit your preferences.

Taking a Self-Assessment

Understanding your own gambling habits is a crucial step towards responsible gaming. Aphrodite encourages you to regularly take a self-assessment to evaluate your relationship with gambling. This involves honestly answering a series of questions about your behaviour and feelings related to gambling. While not a definitive diagnosis, a self-assessment can provide valuable insights and indicate whether you might benefit from further support. Typical self-assessment questions might include:
  • Do you spend more money or time gambling than you intended?
  • Have you ever tried to stop gambling but been unable to?
  • Does gambling interfere with your work, studies, or family life?
  • Do you feel guilty or regretful after gambling?
  • Have you ever lied to cover up the extent of your gambling?
  • Do you gamble to escape from problems or feelings of boredom?
If your answers suggest that gambling may be becoming an issue, we strongly recommend utilising the responsible gaming tools available on Aphrodite and considering seeking professional help. Your well-being is important to us.
