Gambling should stay a form of entertainment. Spinalto wants you to stay in control. Here you will find clear tips, tools and places to get help if playing starts to become a burden.
You must be 18 or older to gamble. Spinalto prohibits use by minors. Protect access to your account and your devices so that minors cannot play. Gambling is not a way to earn money or to solve debts.
Watch out if you spend more time or money than planned, chase your losses, hide your gambling from others, or if it affects your mood, work or relationships. These are typical signs of problem gambling — take them seriously.
Before you play, set a fixed budget and a time limit, and stick to them. Use the deposit and session limits and the self-exclusion option. A short self-test helps you judge whether your gambling is still healthy. Take regular breaks.
In the Netherlands, free and confidential help is available from Loket Kansspel (loketkansspel.nl) and from addiction services such as AGOG. In Belgium you can turn to gokhulp.be, and in Germany to check-dein-spiel.de. The national self-exclusion registers — CRUKS in the Netherlands, EPIS in Belgium and OASIS in Germany — let you exclude yourself from licensed gambling. Note that Spinalto is not connected to any of these registers, so registering there does not block you at Spinalto. Don’t wait too long to ask for help — support is also available for family and friends.
