1. What We Mean by Responsible Gaming
Playing responsibly means:
- Playing only with money you can afford to lose.
- Setting time and spending limits before you start playing.
- Not playing to recover losses.
- Not playing under the influence of alcohol or substances.
- Keeping gaming as a leisure activity, separate from your daily responsibilities.
- Being aware that gaming outcomes are random and do not depend on the player's skill.
At IXOGames, we promote this way of playing and remind you that access is reserved exclusively for those over 18 years of age.
2. Warning Signs
Sometimes it's not easy to recognize when gaming stops being entertainment. These are some signs that may indicate you need to take a break:
- Playing for longer or spending more money than you had planned.
- Feeling the need to play more and more frequently.
- Hiding the time or money spent on gaming from family or friends.
- Trying to recover losses by playing more.
- Neglecting work, studies, or personal relationships.
- Feeling irritability, anxiety, or discomfort when you can't play.
- Borrowing money to keep playing.
If you identify with several of these signs, we recommend taking a break and seeking support. Recognizing it is the first step to regaining control.
3. Tools to Stay in Control
IXOGames offers you various tools so you can manage your activity on the platform consciously. Depending on your account settings, you may find options such as:
- Deposit limits. Set a maximum amount you can deposit in a given period.
- Playing time limits. Define how much time you want to spend on the platform.
- Voluntary breaks. Request a rest period during which your account remains inactive.
- Self-exclusion. Temporarily or permanently block access to your account if you feel you need to step away from gaming.
- Activity history. Review your deposits, bets, and withdrawals to get a clear view of your behavior.
The specific options available at IXOGames may vary depending on the platform's configuration and the applicable jurisdiction. If you have questions about which are active on your account, you can check with our support.
4. How to Request a Break or Self-Exclusion
If you wish to set a voluntary break or self-exclusion, you can contact our support team through the usual channels. Our staff will indicate the steps to follow and the options available according to your situation.
During the self-exclusion period, your account will remain blocked, and you will not be able to access the gaming services. If you have funds pending withdrawal, the support team will help you manage them in accordance with our policies.
5. Tips for Playing with Control
Beyond the available tools, there are habits that can help you maintain a healthy relationship with gaming:
- Set a budget before playing and don't exceed it.
- Set a maximum time per session and stick to it.
- Don't play to recover what you've lost.
- Don't play if you're tired, angry, or under the influence of alcohol.
- Alternate gaming with other leisure activities.
- Talk to someone you trust if you notice that gaming worries you.
Gaming should be a pleasurable activity. If it stops being one, it's time to review your habits.
