Playing at Scatters should be fun and enjoyable. Our mission is to entertain you but we understand the potential risks of problem gambling. We have provided below some ways to make sure your gambling is within controllable limits along with suggesting some places to go to if you need help.

Here are some tips:

  • Jobs are for making money, but gambling is for entertainment. Treat it as an entertainment expense.
  • Only gamble with money you can afford to lose.
  • Know your limits and be clear about them before you start betting.
  • Take a break. Gambling continuously without taking a break will impact your judgment.
  • Don’t gamble when you’re upset or depressed. Talk to a friend or family or get in touch with a Help Organization 
  • Do other stuff. Sometimes less is more, so make gambling a part of a well-balanced lifestyle.
  • Don’t go chasing losses. Set your limits, and stay in control.

 

KNOW YOUR LIMITS

Since at Scatters we believe that your ability to play safely is very important, we have tools that are there for you to use if you feel the need to have a break.

In the Limits Section of your account you will find:

Deposit Limits

This will limit the amount you can deposit during a certain period. Once you have reached this sum you will not be able to make any new deposits until your limit is reset.

Wager Limits

This will limit the total amount you can bet during a certain period. When you have reached these sums, you will not be able to place any new bets until your limit is reset.

Take a Break

You may feel in control but would like a break to consider your gambling, or maybe you are in the middle of a busy time and don’t want to spend time or energy on gambling. If this is the case, taking a break may help you. It will not be possible to reopen your account once in effect until the duration of the break has lapsed. 

Self-Exclusion

Should you be unable to control your gambling and decide to make a much longer break or even permanent, then it is possible to self-exclude. Choosing to self-exclude will mean that it will not be possible to reopen your account once in effect for a period of six months by clicking here

Permanent Self-Exclusion

If your gambling has become a problem, or if friends and family have expressed concern, we recommend contacting us to request a Permanent self-exclusion please contact us via live chat or email [email protected]

Further Self Exclusion options can be found by visiting the Kahnawáke Gaming Commission

 

SELF ASSESSMENT TEST

If you are not sure about your gambling activity please feel free to conduct the GamCare Self-Assessment Test by clicking here

The assessment consists of statements to evaluate and give a score on a scale of 1-10 according to how much they apply to you. The result will provide you with a breakdown of how gambling is affecting your life and will give you personalised recommendations for your next steps.

ADDITIONAL TIPS

Many banks, fintech banks and e-wallet providers across Europe now offer gambling blocks that allow their customers to block gambling transactions on their accounts. If you want to implement these, your bank should explain how to do this, or could even do it for you. Please be aware that these blocks are not permanent, they can be switched on and off with varying delays, so it’s also a good idea to have other support in place if you want to stop gambling completely.

Some banks may also allow you to set a spending limit for a single debit card transaction, or temporarily freeze your card if you feel like your spending is getting out of control. This will vary from bank to bank so check what protections your bank can put in place for you.

Another way of taking some time away from online gambling is to put a “blocker” on your device, well-known ones are Gamblock or Betblocker.
