Refrain from Addiction to Gambling

We urge you to remember that the games we offer at QuartzCasino are meant to be a form of online entertainment only. Unfortunately, some players may have a disposition for becoming addicted to these types of games and there is a real likelihood that significant losses may be accumulated over the course of time.

We recommend that you keep these facts in mind:

  1. Partaking in our online games is for entertainment purposes only. The games should not be perceived as a way to get rich fast or cover debts you may have accrued.
  2. Online games are based on chance; there are no guaranteed strategies or methods that will promise you winnings on our site.
  3. Never wager more than you are comfortable with losing.
  4. Be confident that you desire to partake in online gambling and that the choice is entirely yours, and you are not pressured into playing by your peers.
  5. Refrain from attempting to 'chase' your losses. You may lose additional funds, by investing more money in the hopes of gaining back your losses from before.
  6. Keep track of how much you are spending when you gamble online. Check your games history on a regular basis.
  7. Define in advance how long you want to spend in the online casino. Agree to practical limits and stick to them.
  8. If your online gaming is getting in the way of your personal life and obligations you may have to others, you may have a problem with gambling. Halt your gambling activities right away and think about a solution.
  9. Learn the rules of each game before you play them.

Limits

QuartzCasino allows you to choose a daily, weekly and monthly limit amounts upon registration. The amounts include deposits, wagers and losses you are willing to accrue. Any change you want to make to your limits later on will become effective 24 hours after you request them. In addition, you can also set time limits for how long you play. To change your limits, you can go to the "Account".

Time-out

A time-out is a feature that can be used if you would like to continue to gamble, but manage it by removing yourself from it for a short period of time. During a time-out, you can block yourself from playing for a set amount of time. 

You can set your time-out period in your Responsible Gaming settings, up to 42 days. Or you can send your request to our Customer Support via e-mail (customersupport@instantgamesupport.com).

Reality Check

You may set up a reality check timeframe through the responsible gaming screen. Once set, the time that has passed since You started to play the Games within the same session will appear on the screen (the "Timecount"). Once the Timecount will reach the reality check timeframe You have set, You will be prevented from continuing playing the Games during the same session until You acknowledge You wish to continue playing the Games. If You acknowledge You wish to continue playing the Games, Timecount until the next reality check will be reset, and the abovementioned process will recommence. Beginning a new session will cause the Timecount to reset as well. At any point in time, You may change and/or cancel the reality check timeframe, and such change or cancellation will enter into force immediately (and in the case of change – will reset the Timecount).
