Responsible Gaming
Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming
At Inn Doctor, we're committed to promoting responsible gambling practices. Gambling should always be viewed as entertainment, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. We encourage all players to gamble within their means and to seek help if gambling becomes a concern.
Age Verification
You must be at least 18 years of age or the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction to use betting apps and place wagers. 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 use any of the betting apps we review.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognise any of the following behaviours in yourself or someone you know, it may be time to seek help:
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- Spending more time or money gambling than intended
- Hiding gambling activity or lying about the amount spent
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when not gambling
- Neglecting personal, family, or work responsibilities due to gambling
- Borrowing money to fund gambling activity
- Unable to reduce or stop gambling despite wanting to
- Using gambling to escape problems or negative emotions
- Family members expressing concern about your gambling
Self-Help Tools and Features
Most reputable betting apps offer built-in tools to help you stay in control. We recommend using:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to deposit in a day, week, or month
- Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to lose before stopping play
- Reality Checks: Enable reminders to notify you of how long you've been playing and how much you've spent
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently close your account if you need a break from gambling
- Time-Out Features: Take a mandatory break from playing for a set period
Always take advantage of these tools when registering with any betting app.
