Responsible Gaming

Gambling at Charmius is intended solely for entertainment purposes and should never be viewed as a source of income or a financial solution. We prioritize the well-being of our players and are committed to fostering a safe environment. It is essential for players to understand that while online pokies can be enjoyable, they come with risks that need to be managed responsibly.

Core Philosophy

At Charmius, we believe that gambling should be a fun and engaging activity. Our core philosophy emphasizes that players should engage with our platform responsibly and with clear limits. We advocate for a balanced approach to gambling, where enjoyment is paramount, and potential risks are acknowledged and managed. We encourage all players to play within their means and to seek help if they feel their gambling behavior is becoming problematic.

Self-Control Tools

To support our players in maintaining control over their gambling activities, Charmius offers a variety of responsible gambling tools:

• Deposit Limits: Players can set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits to manage their spending.
• Loss Limits: Players have the option to establish limits on the amount they can lose within a specified timeframe.
• Wagering Limits: Players may also set limits on how much they can wager on our online pokies.
• Session Time Limits: This feature allows players to limit the duration of their gaming sessions, helping to ensure they take breaks and do not spend excessive time gambling.
• Cooling-Off Periods: Players can request a temporary break from their account, allowing them to step back and reassess their gambling habits.
• Self-Exclusion Options: For players who feel they need a longer-term solution, we provide self-exclusion mechanisms that allow them to restrict access to their accounts for a determined period or indefinitely.

Self-Assessment

Understanding one’s gambling behavior is crucial for maintaining control. Players are encouraged to reflect on the following questions to identify any early signs of problematic gambling behavior:

1. Do I often gamble to escape from stress or negative emotions?
2. Have I ever lost track of time while gambling?
3. Do I find myself chasing losses?
4. Am I gambling more than I can afford to lose?
5. Have I noticed changes in my mood when I gamble?
6. Do I feel anxious or irritable when I try to cut back on gambling?
7. Have I ever lied to friends or family about my gambling habits?
8. Do I prioritize gambling over other responsibilities or activities?

If players find themselves answering “yes” to several of these questions, it may be time to seek assistance or utilize the self-control tools provided by Charmius.

Protection of Minors

Charmius takes the protection of minors seriously and has implemented strict measures to prevent underage access to our platform:

• Age Verification: We require all players to verify their age during the registration process to ensure they are of legal gambling age.
• KYC Checks: Know Your Customer (KYC) checks are conducted to confirm the identity of our players and prevent minors from accessing gambling services.

We are committed to ensuring that our platform remains a safe space for adult players only.
