At SpinTown, we love the rush of a win and the thrill of the spin—but only when it’s all about fun. Gambling should never feel like pressure or a way to solve problems. Our goal is to help you enjoy the game while staying in control.
Tools to Stay in Control
- Set a Budget
Decide how much you’re comfortable spending before you start. Stick to it like you would for a night out. - Limit Your Time
Spinning for too long can blur the line between fun and fatigue. Set a timer so you know when to stop. - Loss & Deposit Limits
Use available tools to cap how much you deposit or are willing to lose in a set period. - Reality Checks
Activate reminders to pause, breathe, and see if you’re still playing for entertainment. - Take a Break
Use self-exclusion or temporary account suspension to step away if needed.
Warning Signs to Watch For
You might want to hit pause if:
- You’re spending more than you planned—regularly.
- You feel stressed, anxious, or irritable when playing.
- You’re hiding your gambling from friends or family.
- You’re using money meant for essentials to gamble.
