For the third post in our GET MORE Aware campaign, we’re spotlighting Responsible Gaming Tools—crucial features that help players manage their gameplay safely. Reputable casinos offer tools like deposit, loss, and playtime limits, allowing players to set their own boundaries and play responsibly.
Why it matters: Studies show that only 10% of players actively use self-set limits, but those who do report greater satisfaction and control over their experience. These tools make a significant difference, providing a safe framework for players to enjoy gaming without risking overindulgence.
🔍 How to Spot These Features: Quality casinos display responsible gaming tools prominently in the player’s dashboard. Also, reputable game providers, including Playson, make sure these options are accessible in-game, often as part of the game’s User Interface (UI). Without these responsible gaming adaptations, games cannot be certified in regulated markets. For instance, game providers need multiple UI configurations to comply with varying regulations across Europe and North America, where standards are stricter.
💡 Recommended Limits: According to GambleAware, an estimated 30–60 minutes of gameplay per session, paired with a maximum weekly budget, can help players enjoy gaming while avoiding potential harm. Remember, responsible gaming is about entertainment, not risk.
The average online gambling session duration varies significantly between regulated and unregulated markets. In highly regulated markets like the UK, the average session length has been reduced from 26 minutes to around 16 minutes due to various factors, including tighter regulations and increased mobile gaming, which encourages shorter, more frequent sessions.
In contrast, unregulated markets, where player protection and responsible gaming measures are less strictly enforced, may see longer session times as they lack similar regulatory influences. This discrepancy highlights the importance of regulations in encouraging responsible gambling behaviors, as they help keep gaming experiences controlled and manageable for players.
Choose wisely and play safely by always checking if your casino provides these tools! 🎰
