With the fresh year ahead of us, it’s important to plan for success and make sure we start on the right foot with the best possible habits in place! Here at Social Tournaments we always make sure that our players enjoy our products in a safe and secure environment, but one habit that you’ll never regret investing in is being responsible with your game play and practicing responsible gambling. Whether it’s with us, or an online casino of your choice, responsible gaming is always in your best interest. There are a number of tools available to you across the industry to make sure you’re in charge.
About Responsible Gambling in Free Slots & Casino Games
Since we exclusively use Pragmatic Play slots, we are consistently assured that all the products we use are up to standard when it comes to Responsible Gambling. If you’d like to learn the basics, we’ve got you covered in our Responsible Gambling article. Although we do not accept deposits, we still hold ourselves to the same level of accountability, as is our duty to our wonderful players and fans. Whether you prefer our casino slots, or fancy the excitement of our Live Casino games, responsible play sits at the forefront of what we do!
Responsible Gambling in Free Online Slots
All games are designed to be entertaining, but safe for our customer to use, as well as include built in features that make sure players don’t get carried away. All Pragmatic slots have the option for operators to have the time visible on every screen, the rules clearly explained and available, a detailed bet history is accessible, even an auto timeout takes place and a limit on the amount of auto spins are allowed. All games are also built with cash accepting operator Responsible Gambling tools in mind, allowing players the most security when playing with their money. These tools are no substitute for practising responsible gambling habits yourself. If you’re playing for money, always remind yourself that it’s about entertainment, and not profit, set personal limits and never chase loses.
Responsible Gambling in Casino Games
Live Casino products and Live Game shows also have tools in them to allow players to exercise Responsible Gamblers. Pragmatic Play goes above and beyond to ensure that their top live casino games are enjoyed responsibly and operators can integrate all of their required tools seamlessly. Like online slots, your best defence is yourself and your ability to exercise good responsible gambling habits! It’s important to remember these rules when you play Live Blackjack or Live Roulette, as the captivating nature of the games can make them a little harder to remember. When playing games like Sweet Bonanza Candyland and Lucky 6 Roulette, which are game shows, people tend to be even more engaged, which means they should be even more diligent in making sure they are playing responsibly.
Responsible Gambling – Tools
Across the industry, there are many tools available to players to ensure they play safely and responsibly. Most operators have their own tools, as this is a requirement with most regulators across the world – some sites can be a little stubborn when it comes to providing these, so do yourself a favour and steer clear! Some of the most common Responsible Gambling tools are:
- Deposit Limits – This tool allows players to set how much money the can deposit to a site over a period of time.
- Take a break – This tool allows players to take some time off and away from the site by temporarily limiting access to the site / sites.
- Self-Exclusion – This tool lets players step away from playing for a longer period of time by completely limiting their access.
- Session Reminders – This tool simply notifies players how long they have been gambling.
Responsible Gambling at Social Tournaments
We take extra care to ensure that our players are engaging in a healthy manner, especially when there is an opportunity to win real cash value prizes. For that reason, we carry out due diligence to ensure our online slot tournaments are limited to a healthy time period and cannot be abused or overused. All free tournaments for money are fair and are designed to safeguard our players. Should you wish to limit your gaming activities on Social Tournaments, you can easily do so by opting to close your account, barring all content.
KYC Process at Social Tournaments
The KYC process, short for Know Your Customer process, it’s a way for us to get to know you better and ensure both you, and your account are safe and sound. To complete your KYC check, we need to verify 2 things:
- Proof of Identification: This be done by providing a copy of an official ID document, such as a Driver’s License Passport or Identification Document.
- Proof of Address: This be done by providing a copy of an official document with your address on it, such as a Bak Statement or Utility Bill.
You can send both of these documents to [email protected]. Additionally, to ensure withdrawals go off without a hitch, we need to verify your Payment Method. Doing so is easy though, depending on your preferred Payment Method, you can email a proof of ownership to the same email address, along with any questions you may have regarding KYC! If you’d like to find out more, here’s all you need to know about the KYC Process.
