Upholding Responsible Gambling Standards
Online gambling exists for entertainment, not profit. A fraction of users, though, may face difficulties maintaining self-restraint. Players must understand: online gaming is neither a steady source of earnings nor a remedy for financial hardship. Monitoring your expenditure and duration spent daily on gaming platforms is essential.
If expenditure exceeds your means or gaming disrupts everyday life, protective steps are crucial. Options include setting personal limits, opting for temporary exclusion, or reaching out to recognized support services. Consider utilizing our gambling risk self-assessment to identify potential problematic behavior.
Age Verification & Protection
1. Safeguarding Against Underage Gambling
KatanaSpin maintains a strict policy: no one under the age of 18 may register or access our services. Any minor attempting to set up an account, or anyone assisting them, violates our terms and conditions.
Steps to Protect Minors:
- Never disclose your account details to others, especially if minors are present in your household.
- Disable the save password feature on devices that are accessible to children or teenagers.
- Do not share your payment details—including credit card or banking information—with anyone under 18.
- Install parental control software or internet filtering tools on computers and mobile devices in your home. These tools help monitor and block access to gambling platforms and other age-inappropriate content.
Parental control solutions like CyberPatrol, GamBlock®, Solid Oak Software, and Net Nanny are available online. Each program provides options to block gambling-related websites and help ensure minors are not exposed to online betting activities.
By implementing these precautions, you help protect minors from online gambling risks and support a safe digital environment.
Addressing Compulsive Gaming
2. Recognizing Excessive Play
Compulsive behaviors can evolve with any hobby—gaming included. Addiction warning signs are often subtle, sometimes rooted not in finances but in emotional distress or avoidance of real-life issues. Motivations may be unconscious, with far-reaching social and financial consequences if left unchecked.
Seeking help early protects users: Most participants continue playing recreationally, but outliers may need professional intervention.

- Track time and money spent.

- Focus on enjoyment above all.

Setting Boundaries
5. Deposit and Wager Limits
5.1. Personal Restriction Tools
Deposit limits act as a ceiling on your spending. Establish caps by period—daily, weekly, monthly—or set combinations for enhanced security.
How-To:
- Enter your chosen limit in “My Account” under “Responsible Gaming”.
- Any upward adjustment is delayed by 24 hours for reflection; downward changes or new limits apply instantly.
- Wagering boundaries can be set alongside deposit limitations.
5.2. Daily Caps
A 24-hour ceiling restricts future deposits based on total funds added during the previous day. E.g., Deposit €20 today; you can’t add more until the 24-hour-period lapses. If €10 was spent, only €10 remains accessible.
5.3. Weekly Thresholds
168-hour limits operate similarly. Reach your selected maximum within the timeframe and further deposits pause until expiry. If you maintain both daily and weekly constraints, the system enforces the lower of the two.
5.4. Monthly Maximums
Spanning 720 hours, a monthly limit combines with other constraints. If a lower monthly cap is set, it overrides any daily or weekly parameters. Example: Deposit €50 per month max; this replaces prior daily/weekly figures falling below that.
