Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At Modified Mum, we believe that gambling should only ever be viewed as a form of entertainment, not as a way to make money or solve financial problems. Please gamble responsibly and within your means. If you find yourself struggling to control your gambling habits, help is available.
Age Verification
By accessing and using any casino on our recommended platforms, you confirm that you are:
- At least 18 years of age (or the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction, whichever is higher)
- Not subject to any gambling restrictions or bans in your country
- Accessing these services from a jurisdiction where online gambling is legal
It is illegal for anyone under the legal gambling age to participate in gambling activities. Parents and guardians should be aware of the risks and monitor their children's online activities.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Please be aware of the following warning signs that may indicate problem gambling:
- Spending more time or money gambling than intended
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- Lying to friends or family about the extent of your gambling
- Neglecting work, school, family, or hobbies due to gambling
- Using gambling to escape problems, stress, or negative emotions
- Borrowing money or going into debt to fund gambling
- Unable to cut back or stop gambling despite wanting to
- Experiencing anxiety or irritability when unable to gamble
- Gambling with increasingly larger amounts to achieve the same excitement
- Feeling guilty or ashamed about your gambling behaviour
If you recognise any of these signs in yourself or someone else, please reach out for support immediately.
Self-Help Tools & Responsible Gaming Features
Most reputable online casinos offer tools to help you maintain control over your gambling:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you are willing to lose during a session or time period
- Betting Limits: Control the maximum stake you can place on individual bets
- Reality Checks: Receive periodic reminders during your gaming session about how long you've been playing and how much you've wagered
- Time-Out/Cool-Off Period: Take a temporary break from gambling for a set period (hours to weeks) without closing your account
- Self-Exclusion: Permanently or temporarily close your account and exclude yourself from accessing the casino
- Account Closure: Close your account permanently if you wish to stop gambling entirely
We encourage you to use these tools proactively. Set limits that you are comfortable with and stick to them.
