Responsible Gambling
Gambling can be an entertaining activity when approached responsibly. For some people, however, gambling can become a problem that affects their finances, relationships, and mental wellbeing. This page provides information and resources to help you gamble responsibly and seek help if needed.
Know the Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can affect anyone. Common warning signs include:
- Spending more money or time gambling than you intended
- Chasing losses — continuing to gamble to try to win back money you have lost
- Gambling with money needed for essential expenses such as rent, food, or bills
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or depressed when you are not gambling
- Lying to family or friends about your gambling activity
- Neglecting work, family, or social commitments due to gambling
- Borrowing money or selling possessions to fund gambling
Responsible Gambling Tools
LevelUp Casino and most reputable online casinos offer tools to help you manage your gambling. These typically include:
- Deposit limits: Set daily, weekly, or monthly limits on how much you can deposit
- Session time limits: Restrict the amount of time you spend gambling in a single session
- Loss limits: Cap the amount you can lose in a given period
- Reality checks: Receive regular reminders of how long you have been playing
- Cooling-off period: Take a short break from gambling (24 hours to several months)
- Self-exclusion: Permanently or temporarily exclude yourself from the casino
To access these tools, log into your LevelUp Casino account and navigate to the Responsible Gambling section of your account settings, or contact their support team directly.

Our Commitment
As an affiliate review site, we are committed to promoting responsible gambling. We do not market gambling to individuals who have self-excluded, we include responsible gambling information prominently on our site, and we do not target advertising at vulnerable individuals. We believe that information — including honest negative reviews — helps players make safer choices.
Remember: gambling should be fun. If it stops being fun, stop gambling and seek help.
