Play that stays a choice: responsible gambling with Magnetic Slots
We want every session at Magnetic Slots to be one you chose and can end when you planned, paid for with money set aside for entertainment and nothing else. Our slots, live tables and table games are decided by chance, so no system or streak turns them into income, and our tools and the independent contacts work best when used early rather than as a last resort.
Risk signs to notice early
A change in habits often shows before a problem feels serious. Pay attention if you notice that you:
- deposit again soon after a loss to try to win the money back;
- spend more time or money than you set out to, and it keeps happening;
- dip into money for rent, bills or food, or borrow to fund another session;
- feel tense or irritable when you cannot play;
- keep gambling hidden from the people around you;
- lose sleep or miss work, study or family time because of a session.
The tools in your account
As a rule, four tools are available in your account, each working on a different part of play, money or time:
| Tool | What it controls | A sensible way to start |
|---|---|---|
| Deposit limit | As a rule, the money you can add per day, week or month | Base the figure on what is left after bills |
| Session timer | Usually, the time you have spent playing | Decide on a stop time before the first spin |
| Cooling-off or time-out | Typically, time away from play | Take it after a tense session or a long day |
| Self-exclusion | As a rule, all access to play | The step for when lighter tools stop helping |
Limits work best as a plan made in advance. A figure chosen in the middle of a losing session tends to be too high, so the calm moment before you play is the right one.
Making limits work for you
Choose the period
As a rule, a deposit limit runs per day, per week or per month. A daily figure suits short, frequent sessions, while a monthly one fits a single budget for the month.
Keep an eye on the clock
As a rule, a session timer keeps count of the time you spend playing. If the total surprises you, end the session there rather than after one more round.
Review the figure
If you reach your limit often and want to raise it, treat that wish as a reason to lower it.
Pausing or stopping play
A short pause
A cooling-off period, or time-out, typically puts some distance between you and play.
A firmer stop
When a pause falls short, self-exclusion, as a rule, shuts off access to play.
Before a break starts
Withdraw any balance you want to keep, remove saved payment details from your browser and tell someone you trust about the decision. Questions about a limit or a break can reach our live chat at any hour, before you set either one.
Independent support
Help from outside Magnetic Slots comes through Gamblers Anonymous, whose meeting finder lists three formats:
| Format | Suits you if | What happens |
|---|---|---|
| In person | You want to meet people with the same experience | A group meets in one room |
| Virtual | Getting to a venue is difficult | Members gather online |
| Telephone | You would rather be heard than seen | You dial in to the meeting |

Minors and the household
The age rule
