Responsible Gambling at Spinshark Casino

At Spinshark Casino, we are committed to promoting responsible gambling practices and supporting our players in maintaining a healthy and enjoyable gaming experience. We understand that gambling should be fun and entertaining, and we take our responsibility to protect players seriously. This page outlines the tools, resources, and support available to help you gamble responsibly.

Our Commitment to Responsible Gambling

Spinshark Casino is licensed by Curaçao eGaming under licence number 365/JAZ and operates with a strong commitment to responsible gaming principles. We implement comprehensive measures to prevent problem gambling, protect minors, and provide support to players who may be experiencing difficulties. Our responsible gambling policies are reviewed regularly to ensure they meet the highest industry standards.

We believe that players should have full control over their gaming activity and access to the tools necessary to manage their behaviour responsibly. All players must be at least 18 years of age or the legal gambling age in their jurisdiction, whichever is higher.

Deposit Limits

Spinshark Casino allows you to set daily, weekly, and monthly deposit limits to help control the amount of money you spend on gaming. These limits can be adjusted at any time through your account settings.

Set a daily deposit limit to restrict spending on any single day
Establish weekly deposit limits to monitor your weekly expenditure
Create monthly deposit limits to maintain long-term control over your gaming budget
All limits are enforced automatically once set
You may lower your limits immediately; increases take effect after 7 days

Loss Limits and Session Limits

In addition to deposit limits, you can set loss limits to cap the amount you are willing to lose during a specific period. Session limits allow you to restrict the amount of time you spend gaming in a single session.

Set a loss limit to control the maximum amount you are prepared to lose
Establish session time limits to manage how long you play continuously
Session limits automatically log you out when the time expires
These tools work in conjunction with deposit limits for enhanced protection

Self-Exclusion

If you feel that your gambling is becoming problematic or you need a break from gaming, Spinshark Casino offers a self-exclusion programme that allows you to voluntarily restrict access to your account for a predetermined period.

Self-exclusion periods range from 24 hours to 5 years
During self-exclusion, you will be unable to access your account or place bets
Your account will be locked and any remaining balance will be held safely
Self-exclusion cannot be reversed during the agreed period
Request self-exclusion by contacting our support team at [email protected]

Cooling-Off Periods

A cooling-off period allows you to take a temporary break from gambling without fully self-excluding. This is useful if you need time to reflect on your gaming habits without permanently closing your account.

Cooling-off periods typically range from 24 hours to 7 days
Your account will be temporarily suspended during this period
You can request an extension if you need more time
After the cooling-off period expires, you can resume play or request self-exclusion

Reality Checks

Reality checks are periodic reminders that interrupt your gaming session to help you stay aware of how long you have been playing and how much you have spent. You can customise reality check notifications through your account settings.

Set reality checks to appear every 15, 30, or 60 minutes
Notifications display your session duration and total expenditure
Reality checks provide a moment to reflect on your gameplay
You must acknowledge each notification to continue playing

Protection of Minors

Spinshark Casino has zero tolerance for underage gambling. All players must be at least 18 years of age to open an account and participate in gaming activities. We implement strict age verification procedures during account registration and may request additional identity documentation at any time.

We encourage parents and guardians to use parental control software and to discuss the risks of gambling with young people. If you are concerned about a minor accessing gambling services, please contact our support team immediately.
