Responsible Gambling Policy at 1Win Sweden

Online gambling is a great alternative to traditional land-based casinos and bookmakers. You have 24/7 access to a wide range of games and betting options from the comfort of your own home. Despite multiple advantages, such a form of entertainment also carries risks if not treated right. To ensure only a positive experience at 1Win, please keep these points in mind:

• Gambling is not a job or a source of steady income and there’s always a risk of losing;
• It’s based on chance, and there are no guarantees of winning;
• Stress, anxiety, and emotions are dangerous when gambling as they often lead to impulsive decisions;
• Time management is crucial and you need to take breaks every 20-30 minutes to avoid fatigue;
• Make sure to play only with money you can afford to lose, otherwise, you risk suffering a serious financial hardship.

Knowing when to stop – whether you’re winning or losing – it’s the main principle of responsible gambling. This means adhering to the time frame and bet limits, regardless of your current emotional state and game results.

Responsible gambling is a gambling practice in which a player is aware of the risks involved and takes measures to minimize them. For us as a gambling website, it’s about providing you with the tools and resources you need to stay in control: deposit limits, self-exclusion options, session reminders, and clear information about the possible risks. For you as a player, it’s about making informed decisions, setting personal limits, and seeking help if you need it.

Gambling addiction, also known as Ludomania, is a serious problem that can have devastating consequences for players and their families. Recognizing the signs of addiction, both in yourself and others, helps to identify a potential problem early and take steps to prevent it from escalating. If you notice the following symptoms, your gaming behavior is problematic:

• You constantly think about gambling, plan gambling activities, or relive your past experiences at a casino/bookie;
• You feel the need to gamble with larger sums of money to achieve the same level of excitement or satisfaction;
• You repeatedly try to reduce or stop gambling but fail to do so;
• You experience a so-called withdrawal symptom, including restlessness, irritability, or anxiety, when trying to reduce or stop gambling;
• You often use gambling as a way to cope with stress, anxiety, depression, or other negative feelings in your real life;
• You resort to such desperate measures as stealing money, taking loans, or selling your own belongings just to obtain money for gambling;
• You fail to meet obligations at work, school, or home because of gambling;
• You hide your hobby from friends and family to avoid judgment or criticism.

Even experiencing one of these symptoms could be a sign of a developing problem. At this stage, it’s important to reach out to a trusted friend, family member, or professional for support.
