Responsible Gaming at Wild Tornado
At Wild Tornado, we believe that gambling should be an enjoyable and entertaining pastime. We are fully committed to promoting responsible gaming and ensuring that all our players can enjoy their experience in a safe and controlled environment. We recognise that, for some individuals, gambling can become problematic, and we take our responsibility seriously to provide the necessary tools, support, and information to help you stay in control.
Your Responsible Gaming Toolkit
To help you manage your gambling activity, Wild Tornado offers a range of in-account features designed to keep your play within safe and comfortable limits:
- Deposit Limits: Set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit caps to control how much money you add to your account, helping you manage your spending effectively.
- Wager and Loss Limits: Choose upper limits on the amount you can stake or lose over a specified period to prevent overspending.
- Session Time Limits: Pre-set the duration of your gaming sessions and receive reminders when your time is up, encouraging regular breaks.
- Time-Out: Take a short break from gambling for a minimum of 24 hours up to 30 days, allowing you to pause your activity when needed.
- Self-Exclusion: If you feel you need a longer break, you can self-exclude for extended periods or permanently close your account.
- Permanent Account Closure: Should you decide to stop gambling altogether, contact our support team to close your account permanently.
Recognising the Signs of Problem Gambling
Gambling should always remain a fun and controlled activity. However, if you notice any of the following signs, it may be time to seek help or use our responsible gaming tools:
- Chasing losses or gambling in an attempt to recover money lost.
- Borrowing money or selling possessions to fund gambling.
- Spending more time or money on gambling than you initially planned.
- Neglecting work, education, or social responsibilities because of gambling.
- Frequent arguments with family or friends about your gambling habits.
- Using money intended for essential expenses such as rent, bills, or groceries to gamble.
- Constantly thinking about gambling or planning your next wager.
If you recognise any of these behaviours, we strongly encourage you to pause and seek support before the situation worsens.
Tips for Responsible Gambling
- Set a loss limit before you start playing and stick to it no matter what.
- Remember that gambling is a form of entertainment, not a way to make money.
- Never gamble with money you cannot afford to lose or that is needed for essential living costs.
- Take regular breaks during your gaming sessions to maintain perspective.
- Engage in other hobbies and social activities to balance your leisure time.
- Avoid gambling when feeling stressed, upset, or under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
- Only use discretionary income for gambling, never borrowed funds.
Self-Assessment and Support
If you are uncertain about your gambling habits, we offer a confidential and anonymous self-assessment quiz on our website to help you evaluate your behaviour. Additionally, our Responsible Gaming Team is available 24/7 for personalised advice and support. You can contact them via email at [email protected] or through our Live Chat service.
Account Closure and Self-Exclusion Procedures
We offer flexible options to help you take control when you need to step away from gambling:
