Responsible Gaming

At Wanted Dead or a Wild, we encourage our players to adopt safe and balanced gambling habits. This involves setting a budget and sticking to it, taking regular breaks from gaming, and prioritizing other aspects of your life.

To help you achieve this balance, we offer various tools and resources on our platform. These include:

• Deposit limits: Set daily or weekly deposit limits to control how much you spend.
• Loss limits: Establish loss limits to prevent significant losses in a short period.
• Wager limits: Determine the maximum amount you're willing to wager per session.

Budget and Bankroll Management

Effective budgeting is essential for responsible gambling. Consider your income, expenses, debts, and savings before setting aside money for gaming. Aim to allocate no more than 1-2% of your net income towards entertainment purposes, including online gaming.

Use our bankroll management tool to track your gaming funds and set realistic targets for winning or losing. This will help you maintain a healthy perspective on the risks associated with online gambling.

Reality Checks and Time Reminders

We recommend taking regular breaks from gaming to assess your progress and prevent excessive play. Our Reality Check feature provides an overview of your game activity, including time played, deposits made, and losses incurred.

Additionally, we offer customizable Time Reminders that alert you when it's time for a break or when you've reached a predetermined session limit.

Cooling-off Periods and Self-Exclusion Tools

If you feel the need to take a step back from our platform, use our self-exclusion tool. This will temporarily block your account and prevent access until you're ready to resume gaming.

Our cooling-off periods range from 24 hours to several weeks or months, giving you time to reassess your gaming habits and seek support if needed.

Account Verification and Age Restrictions

Account verification is a critical aspect of responsible gambling. We require age confirmation for all new accounts to prevent minors from accessing our platform.

Our age restriction policy ensures that only individuals aged 18+ can register with us. If you're unsure about your eligibility or have questions, please contact our support team.

Protection of Vulnerable Players

We recognize the importance of protecting vulnerable players and take this responsibility seriously. Our platform includes features such as:

• Deposit limits for high-risk users: We may impose stricter deposit limits on players who demonstrate signs of problematic behavior.
• Enhanced age verification: Additional steps are taken to verify the age of players in areas where vulnerabilities have been identified.

• Chasing losses
• Spending more than your budget allows
• Using money intended for essential expenses (rent/mortgage, utilities, etc.)
• Neglecting responsibilities due to gaming activities

Safer Gambling During Slots, Live Casino, Sportsbook, or Promotional Play

Different games may present unique challenges when it comes to responsible gaming. When playing slots, live casino, or sportsbook, consider:

• Slot volatility: High-volatility slots can lead to quicker losses and subsequent betting spikes.
• Live casino limits: Establish limits for individual table bets and session duration.

For promotional play, review our terms and conditions before participating in bonus-based campaigns. This will help you understand the associated risks and rewards.

Mobile Gambling Awareness

Mobile gaming offers unparalleled flexibility but also presents potential pitfalls when not used responsibly:

• Constant accessibility: Be mindful of your device usage and set aside dedicated time for gaming.

Wanted Dead or a Wild encourages mobile players to prioritize a balanced lifestyle while enjoying our platform on-the-go.

Family/Device Protection Measures

For family or shared devices, implement protective measures such as:
