Responsible Gaming

Gambling at Leon Casino is intended for entertainment purposes only and should never be considered a source of income or a financial solution. We are committed to promoting responsible gaming practices and ensuring that our players engage with our online pokies services in a safe and enjoyable manner. Understanding the importance of responsible gambling helps maintain a balanced lifestyle, where gaming remains a fun activity without negative consequences.

Self-Control Tools

Leon Casino provides several responsible gambling tools designed to help players manage their gaming behavior effectively. These tools include:

Deposit Limits: Players can set daily, weekly, or monthly limits on the amount of money they can deposit into their casino account. This helps to control spending and encourages responsible gaming habits.
Loss Limits: Players can establish limits on the amount they are willing to lose within a specified timeframe. Once this limit is reached, the ability to continue gambling will be restricted.
Wagering Limits: Players can set limitations on the total amount they can wager on our pokies within a defined period, promoting responsible play and financial management.
Session Time Limits: Players have the option to set limits on the duration of their gaming sessions. Once the time limit is reached, players will receive a notification and will be encouraged to take a break.
Cooling-Off Periods: Players can request a temporary suspension of their account, allowing them time away from gambling to reassess their habits and engage in other activities.
Self-Exclusion Options: For players who feel they need a longer break, Leon Casino offers self-exclusion mechanisms. Players can choose to exclude themselves from the casino for a specific period, ranging from a few days to several months, or even permanently.

Self-Assessment

To aid players in identifying potential signs of problematic gambling behavior, we encourage a self-assessment process. Players should reflect on the following questions:

Do you often gamble to escape from stress or negative emotions?
Have you noticed that you are spending more time or money on gambling than you intended?
Do you find yourself chasing losses or feeling disappointed when you are not gambling?
Are your gambling activities affecting your relationships, work, or social life?
Do you feel anxious or stressed when you think about your gambling habits?
Have you lied to friends or family about your gambling activities or losses?
Do you frequently think about gambling even when you are not engaged in the activity?

If you answer yes to any of these questions, it may be an indication that you should take a step back and reassess your gambling behavior.

Protection of Minors

Leon Casino takes the protection of minors very seriously. We have implemented strict safeguards and procedures to prevent underage access to our services. These measures include:

Age Verification: We conduct thorough age verification checks during the registration process to ensure that all players are at least 18 years old, as required by Australian law.
KYC Checks: Know Your Customer (KYC) procedures are in place to verify the identity of players and confirm their age before they can access our online pokies.

We encourage players to be vigilant and report any suspected underage gambling.

External Help

Leon Casino recognizes that some players may require support beyond the tools we provide. We recommend reaching out to professional support organizations for assistance, such as:

GamCare: Offers information, advice, and support for anyone affected by gambling.
BeGambleAware: Provides resources and support for responsible gambling and helps individuals to make informed decisions.

In Australia, local support services are also available to assist players facing challenges with gambling.

Early Warning Signs of Problematic Gambling Behavior

Recognizing the early warning signs of problematic gambling behavior is crucial for maintaining a healthy relationship with gaming. Some indicators include:

Increasing frequency of play or extended gaming sessions.
Gambling more than intended, even after setting limits.
Feeling irritable or anxious when not gambling.
Using gambling as a way to cope with stress or emotional issues.
Neglecting responsibilities or relationships in favor of gambling.

Utilize the self-control tools available on the platform, such as setting deposit limits or session time limits.
Consider contacting the support team for guidance and assistance.
Take a break from gambling activities by temporarily suspending your account.
Reach out to professional support organizations to discuss your feelings and experiences.

Account Restrictions and Self-Exclusion Mechanisms

Leon Casino offers players the ability to restrict their accounts if they feel they are losing control. Players can request:

Account Restrictions: This can limit access to specific features or services on the platform.
Self-Exclusion: As mentioned earlier, players can choose to self-exclude for a defined period or indefinitely. During this time, all access to the casino will be blocked, and players will receive notifications about their exclusion status.

Personal Responsibility and Platform-Supported Protection Tools

At Leon Casino, we emphasize the importance of personal responsibility when it comes to gambling. Players are encouraged to use the tools provided and to be mindful of their gaming habits. Our platform supports responsible gambling through various protective measures, but ultimately, it is the player’s responsibility to maintain control over their gaming activities.
