Responsible Gaming

Introduction

At dundalkgaels.com, we're committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. Casino games should be enjoyed purely as entertainment, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Please gamble only with money you can afford to lose, and remember that the house always has a mathematical advantage.

Age Verification

All players must be 18 years of age or older to access and use our services. In Ireland, 18 is the legal minimum age for gambling. We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of age at any time.

If you are under 18, please do not attempt to register or gamble on our platform.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can develop gradually. Be aware of these warning signs:

• Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
• Spending more time and money on gambling than intended
• Hiding gambling activities or lying about the extent of your gambling
• Neglecting family, work, school, or other responsibilities due to gambling
• Experiencing mood swings or irritability when unable to gamble
• Borrowing money or going into debt to gamble
• Failed attempts to reduce or stop gambling
• Gambling to escape problems, anxiety, or depression
• Using gambling as a way to cope with negative emotions
• Experiencing financial difficulties as a result of gambling

If you recognize any of these signs in yourself or someone you know, please reach out for support.

Self-Help Tools

Most responsible gaming operators provide tools to help you maintain control of your gaming:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to deposit within a specific timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly)
• Loss Limits: Restrict the amount of money you're prepared to lose in a given period
• Reality Checks: Enable pop-up reminders during your gaming session to help you keep track of time and money spent
• Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from accessing gambling services
• Session Time Limits: Set automatic time limits for your gaming sessions
• Account Closure: Permanently close your account if you need to step away from gambling

Contact our support team to activate any of these responsible gaming features on your account.
