Responsible Gaming at Pin-Up Hockey

At Pin-Up Hockey, we are dedicated to providing a safe, enjoyable, and responsible gaming environment for all our users. We recognize that while betting can add excitement to your ice hockey experience, it’s essential to approach it responsibly to ensure it remains a fun and positive activity.

This page outlines our commitment to responsible gaming, offers tips to maintain control, and provides resources for those who may need assistance.

Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming

We prioritize the well-being of our users and are committed to:

  • Promoting Responsible Play: We encourage users to view betting as a form of entertainment, not a source of income.
  • Providing Tools for Control: Our platform includes features designed to help you manage your betting habits, such as deposit limits, session time reminders, and self-exclusion options.
  • Offering Support Resources: For users who feel their betting habits are becoming problematic, we provide access to professional support organizations and self-help tools.

Tips for Responsible Gaming

To keep your betting experience enjoyable and under control, consider the following tips:

  • Set a Budget: Decide on a fixed amount you’re willing to spend before you start betting, and stick to it. Never gamble money you cannot afford to lose.
  • Manage Your Time: Limit the amount of time you spend on betting activities. Use our session reminders to track your activity.
  • Avoid Chasing Losses: Betting should not be used to recover losses. Accept losses as part of the experience and avoid betting impulsively.
  • Take Breaks: Regular breaks can help you maintain perspective and ensure that betting remains an enjoyable pastime.
  • Seek Support if Needed: If you feel that betting is negatively impacting your life, reach out for help. There is no shame in seeking assistance.

Tools to Help You Stay in Control

Pin-Up Hockey offers several tools to help you manage your gaming habits:

  • Deposit Limits: Set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits to control how much you spend.
  • Session Time Reminders: Receive notifications to remind you of how long you’ve been active on the platform.
  • Self-Exclusion Options: If you need a break, you can temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from the platform.
  • Transaction History: Access your betting history to monitor your spending and activity patterns.

Recognizing Problematic Behavior

It’s important to recognize the signs that betting may be becoming a problem. These can include:

  • Betting more money or time than intended.
  • Neglecting personal or professional responsibilities due to gambling.
  • Borrowing money or using savings to fund betting activities.
  • Feeling anxious, depressed, or irritable when not betting.
  • Hiding gambling activities from family or friends.

If you recognize any of these signs in yourself or someone you care about, it’s crucial to take action.

Support and Resources

If you feel that betting is becoming a problem, there are resources available to help:

  • Self-Help Tools: Utilize tools like self-assessment questionnaires to evaluate your gaming habits.
  • Support Organizations: Contact organizations dedicated to gambling support, such as:
    • Gamblers Anonymous (GA): Offers peer support and recovery programs.
