Gambling Can Be Addictive

Gambling can be addictive

Alwaysvegas recognises that most players gamble for entertainment, but a minority may experience harm. This page explains the safeguards Alwaysvegas provides to promote responsible play and what you can do if gambling begins to affect your well‑being, finances or relationships.

What constitutes problem gambling

Problem gambling describes a pattern of gambling that impairs a person’s control, finances or health, or harms others who depend on them. Alwaysvegas treats this as a safeguarding matter and applies measures to reduce risk and to support affected players.

Signs of problem gambling

  • Spending more time or money than planned
  • Arguing with family or friends about gambling
  • After a loss, an urge to gamble again soon to recover losses
  • Feeling guilty or remorseful about gambling
  • Borrowing money or selling assets to continue gambling
  • Missing work or important commitments to gamble
  • Concealing the extent of gambling activity

Maintaining control and responsible play

  1. Set explicit financial limits before you start: determine disposable income and cap deposits (for example, a monthly limit that you can afford to lose without impacting essential living costs).
  2. Approach gambling as entertainment, not as a source of income or a path to wealth.
  3. Set fixed time limits for sessions and schedule breaks; ensure gambling remains balanced with work, family and hobbies.
  4. Do not chase losses; if you reach your loss limit, stop gambling and reassess.
  5. Avoid gambling while stressed, depressed, or under the influence of substances that impair judgment.
  6. Maintain a single account per person to keep a clear record of activity.

Minors protection

Gambling on Alwaysvegas is strictly restricted to individuals who are 18 years of age or older. To prevent underage access, users should keep login credentials secure and use appropriate parental controls or internet filtering tools. Alwaysvegas reserves the right to verify age and to suspend access where verification fails.

Self‑exclusion and cooling‑off options

Alwaysvegas provides a formal Self‑Exclusion program. If you choose to self‑exclude, you may select a period from six months up to five years, or opt for permanent exclusion. The process involves a clear, multi‑step confirmation and verification. During the exclusion, access to the excluded sections is blocked; attempting to bypass exclusion by creating a new account may result in a permanent block of the original account.

Flow to initiate self‑exclusion:

  1. Open the Alwaysvegas account and navigate to the Responsible Gaming section to start self‑exclusion.
  2. Step 1: Engage a 24‑hour cooldown to pause betting in the selected sections; verify your identity with a password check.
  3. Step 2: After cooldown, confirm the scope of exclusion (specific sections or the platform as a whole) and choose a duration; the summary is shown before final confirmation.
  4. If you exclude from all sections, you will be logged out and blocked from accessing the site for the chosen period.

Duration options include six months, one year, three years, five years, or permanent exclusion. Self‑exclusion is permanent for the selected period and cannot be undone except through a structured re‑assessment process that may take multiple days and requires contact with Alwaysvegas Support.
