What is gaming addiction? 

There is talk of gambling addiction when the "desire to play" becomes an obsession, an all-dominant urge. In the process, the player not only loses a lot of time and money, but also self-confidence and self-esteem. The player increasingly neglects important aspects of life such as family, work, hobbies and social commitments. This is usually a lengthy process and those affected often realise the addiction only very late. We are here for you, and you can find all information about responsible gambling here. Our customer service is also available for you via the chat function.

What is the loss limit? 

With the loss limit you can limit your daily, weekly or monthly losses. An increase of the limit becomes effective after 24 hours, a decrease immediately. Due to Swiss legislation, one of the three limits must be selected. In this way, you always have an overview of your bets.
