Responsible Gaming

Gambling at Conquestador is designed solely for entertainment purposes. It is essential to understand that gambling should never be viewed as a source of income or a financial solution. The enjoyment of online pokies is meant to be a recreational activity, and players should approach it with this mindset.

Self-Control Tools

Conquestador offers a range of responsible gambling tools to help players manage their gaming activities effectively. These tools are designed to promote safe gambling practices:

Deposit Limits: Players can set limits on the amount they can deposit over a specified period, helping to control spending.
Loss Limits: This feature allows players to establish a maximum loss threshold, ensuring they do not exceed their comfort zone.
Wagering Limits: Players can set limits on the amount they wager, helping to maintain control over their betting behavior.
Session Time Limits: This tool enables players to limit the duration of their gaming sessions, promoting breaks and reducing extended gameplay.
Cooling-Off Periods: Kiwis can utilize cooling-off periods to temporarily suspend their accounts, allowing them time away from gambling.
Self-Exclusion Options: Players have the option to self-exclude themselves from the platform for a specified period, ensuring they can take a break from online pokies.

Self-Assessment

It is crucial for players to reflect on their gambling behavior regularly. The following questions can help identify early signs of problematic gambling:

Do you often feel the need to gamble more to achieve the same level of excitement?
Have you experienced emotional distress when not gambling?
Do you often chase losses by continuing to gamble after losing money?
Are you using gambling as a way to escape from stress or personal issues?
Has gambling negatively impacted your relationships or responsibilities?
Do you find it difficult to set limits and stick to them during gameplay?
Have you ever lied about how much time or money you spend on gambling?

If players find themselves answering yes to several of these questions, it may be time to seek help.
