Responsible Gambling

Gambling should be fun and entertaining. If it's not, we're here to help.

Our Commitment

At Grandie Casino, we are committed to promoting responsible gambling and protecting vulnerable players. While gambling can be an enjoyable form of entertainment, we recognize that it can also lead to problems for some individuals. We only recommend casinos that provide robust responsible gambling tools and support resources.

This page provides information and resources to help you gamble safely and seek help if needed.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can affect anyone. If you recognize any of these warning signs in yourself or someone you know, it may be time to seek help:

Gambling with money you can't afford to lose

Chasing losses by gambling more to try to win back money

Lying to family or friends about your gambling

Neglecting work, school, or family responsibilities to gamble

Feeling anxious, depressed, or guilty about gambling

Borrowing money or selling possessions to gamble

Thinking about gambling constantly

Being unable to stop or control your gambling

Setting Limits

Most reputable online casinos offer tools to help you stay in control. We recommend using these features:

Deposit Limits

Set daily, weekly, or monthly limits on how much you can deposit into your casino account.

Loss Limits

Set limits on how much you're willing to lose in a specific time period.

Time Limits

Restrict how long you can play in a single session or over a period.

Reality Checks

Receive periodic reminders showing how long you've been playing and how much you've spent.

Self-Exclusion

If you need to take a break from gambling, self-exclusion tools can help. These allow you to block access to gambling sites for a set period or permanently.

Gamban - Global Self-Exclusion

Gamban is a software that blocks access to gambling websites on all your devices. It's one of the most effective tools for taking a complete break from online gambling.

Learn More About Gamban

Most online casinos also offer their own self-exclusion options. You can exclude yourself from individual casinos for periods ranging from days to years, or permanently.
