Responsible gaming at Pin-Up
For many people, online gambling is a great way to spend time entertainingly. However, for some players, it can become a source of problems. Most of our players never encounter such issues. Nevertheless, a conscious approach to online gambling is essential not only for those who already struggle with addiction or are vulnerable. We believe that such an approach is important for all our players.
At Pin-Up, we are dedicated to providing a secure gaming environment. We offer our players useful information, tools, and guidance to help them play responsibly.
Pin-Up offers players a range of responsible gaming tools:
- Monitor how much time you spend playing and take deliberate breaks. This will help you control the time spent gaming.
- Take conscious breaks from gaming. You can set timeouts with different durations, from one day to several weeks.
- Self-exclusion. You can independently restrict access to gaming for a period from six months to five years.
- Set limits on account top-ups. This allows you to manage your expenses on games and adjust or cancel these limits whenever needed.
- The auto-control feature helps you set restrictions on bets and losses, and stop the game when you win the jackpot to safeguard your winnings.
- Track your gaming history to see all your transactions, deposits, and withdrawals.
