Responsible Gaming

Gambling should always be a form of entertainment, never a way to earn money or solve financial problems. At shotsurvey.org, we promote safe and responsible play. Remember that the outcome of games like Crazy Time is based on chance – no strategy can guarantee a win. If gambling stops being fun, it’s time to step back.

Age Verification

You must be 18 years or older (or the legal age for gambling in your jurisdiction) to participate in any online casino games. Underage gambling is illegal and harmful. We strongly encourage parents and guardians to monitor internet use and use filtering software to prevent access by minors.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can develop gradually. Ask yourself if any of the following apply to you:

• Chasing losses – trying to win back money you have lost.
• Hiding your gambling activity from family or friends.
• Spending more money or time on gambling than you planned.
• Neglecting work, studies, or relationships because of gambling.
• Borrowing money or selling possessions to gamble.
• Feeling anxious, guilty, or irritable when trying to cut down.
• Lying about wins, losses, or the amount of time spent gambling.
• Being unable to stop or control gambling despite wanting to.

If you recognise two or more of these signs in yourself or someone you care about, please reach out for support.

Self-Help Tools

Most reputable online casinos offer tools to help you stay in control. Use these features regularly:

• Deposit Limits – set a maximum amount you can deposit per day, week, or month.
• Loss Limits – cap the amount you are allowed to lose within a timeframe.
• Reality Checks – receive reminders about how long you have been playing.
• Session Time Limits – restrict the duration of a single gambling session.
• Self-Exclusion – block yourself from accessing the casino for a set period (e.g., 6 months, 1 year, or permanently).
• Time-Out Periods – take a short break from gambling (24 hours to a few weeks).
