Responsible Gaming

Energy casino is committed to ensuring that its players engage in gambling activities in a responsible manner. We recognise that gambling can become addictive for certain individuals and negatively impact their lives. Since we genuinely care about our players and want online gaming to remain an enjoyable experience, we provide various measures to help our players gamble responsibly. These controls can be configured by the player and include the following:

  • Set limits on deposits
  • Set limits on wagers and losses
  • Set limits on session time
  • Self-exclude for a definite period of time

At Energy casino, we firmly believe that poker and casino games should be enjoyed for fun and entertainment. However, we also understand that gambling can develop into an addiction and there is a risk you could face dependency issues.

When a gambler loses the sense of enjoyment that casual gambling is intended to provide, it indicates that he may be experiencing a problem. He may start viewing gambling as a method to earn money or, even worse, he continues gambling in an attempt to recover the money he had previously lost. He often holds the belief that, with luck, he may recoup the losses. When you discover yourself chasing losses and wagering more, the outcome is a destructive cycle of accumulating losses and raising stakes to recover said losses.

Responsible Gambling Tips

For the majority of people, gambling is exciting and entertaining. They make thoughtful decisions about how to allocate their time and money, and understand where and how to have fun.

Here's how you can maintain control over your gambling:

  • Decide on a loss limit ahead of time and stick to it.
  • Low-risk gambling is a method of playing with minimal chances of losing control. The key to low-risk gambling is to acknowledge that "it's only a game".
  • Never borrow money to gamble.
  • Set a limit on session time.
  • Take frequent breaks.
  • Balance gambling with other activities.
  • Don't gamble when highly stressed, depressed, intoxicated or troubled in any way.
  • Only gamble with money set aside for entertainment, never with money for everyday expenses.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

You can recognise that you have a problem with self-control:

  • If you are leaving your family alone for extended periods of time, in favour of gambling.
  • If you frequently argue with your partner about spending too much time and money on gambling and find that you cannot stop or exercise self-control.
  • If you are gambling family money needed for rent/mortgage, schooling, medical bills, groceries, clothes, or heat.
  • If you feel that you have to gamble to spend time with the people you can relate to.
  • When you are with your family, at work, or at social events, you find that you are constantly thinking about your next bet.
  • If you look at gambling as a way of making money fast.

If your answer to any of the above is "YES", then we strongly suggest that you take immediate action BEFORE the problem worsens. There are many organisations that may help you deal with problem gambling.

If you're concerned that gambling might be impacting your life, we encourage you to take the self-assessment recommended by the Malta Gaming Authority, available on their website. You can access it here.

Account Closure or Self-Exclusion

Most of our players enjoy gambling without issues, but we do acknowledge that it can become a serious concern for some. That is why we provide our players the following options:

  • Restrict gambling through self-exclusion.
  • Close the account.

Players can self-exclude for periods ranging from 24 hours to 30 days.

If you wish to permanently self-exclude or close your account, please send the request to our Customer Support team on [email protected] or reach out through our Live Chat.

We kindly ask you to request a withdrawal of any monetary funds left on your account. If you are already excluded, you may also request a withdrawal by contacting support.

The self-exclusion period can be shortened if the request is made in writing to our responsible gambling team at [email protected]. Requests are subject to a 24-hour or seven-day cooling-off period, depending on the nature of the closure.

The self-exclusion period can be extended on request and with immediate effect. Requests should be submitted through [email protected].

Access to closed accounts can be reinstated immediately, as long as the account closure was unrelated to problem gambling and the player submits a request through Customer Support.

We reserve the right to keep accounts closed or deny a reactivation request, as per the decision made by our Responsible Gaming Department, to ensure the player's safety.

For more information about self-exclusion, you can contact us [email protected] or through our Customer Support team.

Protection of Minors

With the Internet so readily accessible in homes around the world, responsible online gambling depends heavily on responsible parenting. In order to ensure child safety on the net, Energy casino IE encourages its players to utilise filtering software to prevent minors from accessing inappropriate online material. Underage gambling is not only illegal but can also lead to gambling dependencies and substantial gambling debts incurred by unsupervised children.

Tips for Parents

  • Do not leave your computer unattended.
  • Password-protect your computer.
  • Do not allow persons under 18 to participate in any gambling/betting activity.
  • Keep your login/account details and bank card(s) information out of reach of children.
  • Do not save passwords onto your computer. Write them down instead.
  • Limit the amount of time your children spend online and make use of software to prevent your children from accessing inappropriate material.

There are a number of third party applications that parents or guardians can use to monitor or restrict their computer's access to the Internet. These include:

  • Net Nanny filtering software protects children from inappropriate web content: www.netnanny.com
  • Qustodio filtering software allowing parents to add websites to a custom blocklist: https://www.qustodio.com/en/

For more information about raising awareness and understanding of emerging trends, as well as other issues regarding internet safety, we recommend that parents visit the EU co-funded website: www.betterinternetforkids.eu
