Responsible Gambling Guide
Entertainment should be fun, not stressful. This page will help you build healthy betting habits and keep online entertainment within your control.
What Is Responsible Gambling?
The core of responsible gambling is simple: treat betting as entertainment, not a source of income.
You wouldn't spend a month's salary on a concert ticket. Betting should come from your "entertainment budget" too. If losing doesn't hurt and winning feels like a bonus—that's the right mindset.
Responsible gambling isn't about not playing. It's about playing smart and staying comfortable.
Signs You Should Take a Break
Sometimes we cross the line without realising it. If any of these apply to you, consider stepping back:
Warning Sign | What It Looks Like |
|---|---|
Borrowing to bet | Getting money from friends or using credit card cash advances to play |
Life disruption | Arguments with family or friends over betting, or getting distracted at work |
Emotional dependence | Feeling anxious when you're not betting, or betting whenever you're upset |
Losing track of time | You meant to play for 30 minutes but 3 hours disappeared |
Chasing losses | Increasing your stakes after losing, trying to "win it back" |
Overspending | This month's betting has affected your rent, bills, or daily expenses |
Matching any of these doesn't make you a bad person. It's simply a signal that something needs adjusting.
Self-Protection Tools on Tutspin
We believe platforms have a responsibility to help users stay in control. Tutspin includes these built-in features:
-
Deposit Limits Set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit caps. Once you hit your limit, the system blocks further deposits.
-
Betting Limits Beyond deposits, you can also cap your single bet amount or total daily wagering.
-
Cooling-off Period Need a few days off? Activate a cooling-off period and your account becomes temporarily inaccessible—anywhere from 24 hours to 30 days, your choice.
-
Self-exclusion If you decide to step away long-term, you can request self-exclusion for 6 months or longer. Your account stays completely locked during this time and cannot be reopened.
Find all these settings in "Account Settings" → "Responsible Gambling". You can activate them anytime.
5 Practical Tips to Stay in Control
No complicated methods needed. These simple habits help maintain a healthy approach to betting:
-
Set your budget before you start Before opening the app, decide your maximum spend for the day. This number should be an amount you can lose without affecting your life.
-
Set a timer Time slips away easily when betting. Set an alarm for 30 minutes or an hour—when it goes off, pause and decide whether to continue.
-
Withdraw part of your winnings Don't let your account balance keep growing. When you win, withdraw half. Turn those "winnings" into real money, not just numbers on a screen.
-
Avoid betting in these situations After drinking, when you're upset, right after an argument, or late at night when you're exhausted—your judgement suffers in all these moments. Wait until you're in a better state.
-
Betting won't solve your problems When stress builds up, betting might feel like an escape. But it won't fix anything. Talking to a friend or going for a walk does more good than opening an app.
