🛡️ Responsible Gaming
At Christian Instruction, our priority is ensuring that all visitors have a positive and controlled gambling experience. Responsible gaming practices are essential for everyone, and the tools we recommend below will help you maintain gambling as an enjoyable pastime without negative consequences.
Setting Deposit Limits
Starting October 2025, UK regulations require all players to establish a deposit limit prior to their initial transaction. However, numerous online casinos already provide this functionality. Consider implementing limits on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis. Important to note: while limit increases require a 24-hour waiting period, reductions take effect instantly.
Time-Out Features
These controls allow you to voluntarily pause your gambling activities for a specified duration. Depending on the operator, you can opt for breaks ranging from 24 hours up to six weeks. Your account access will automatically restore when your chosen time-out period concludes.
Financial Tracking
Monitoring your wins and losses across specific timeframes provides valuable insight into your gambling expenditure. This transparency helps you stay informed about the actual cost of your entertainment.
Session Reminders
Online gambling involves not only financial investment but also time commitment. Session reminder features alert you after predetermined intervals—whether 20 minutes, one hour, or longer. These notifications prompt you to either conclude your session, assess your play, or make a conscious decision to continue.
🛡️ Your Well-Being Matters to Us
Has your gambling started affecting your personal life or family relationships? Are you wagering amounts beyond your financial means, attempting to recover losses, or neglecting other activities and responsibilities?
