Responsible Gaming | Safe Gambling, Cruks & Playing Limits
Introduction
Responsible gaming is a core value at Oranje Palace. Online gambling should remain enjoyable and should never lead to financial or personal difficulties. That is why we offer various tools to help you stay in control of your gaming behavior.
On this page, you can learn everything about responsible gambling, playing limits, Cruks, self-exclusion, and support for gambling-related issues.
What Is Responsible Gaming?
Responsible gaming means gambling for entertainment and enjoyment without spending more money or time than you intended.
Important principles include:
- only gamble with money you can afford to lose
- set a budget before you start playing
- never gamble under the influence of alcohol or drugs
- do not chase losses
- take regular breaks
- never gamble to solve financial problems
Online casinos are intended as a form of entertainment, not as a way to earn money.
