Responsible Gambling Policy at 1Win Sweden
When gambling is considered a fun and engaging pastime, it’s absolutely safe to participate in. To make your stay on our website as enjoyable as possible, we provide a variety of free responsible gambling tools that help you manage your spending, time, and gaming habits at 1Win.
All You Should Know About Online Gambling
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.
What Is Responsible Gambling?
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.
Signs of Gambling Addiction
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.
