SkyCrown Casino encourages responsible gambling practices among South African players. Entertainment should remain enjoyable without causing financial hardship or personal distress. The platform provides tools enabling users to control gambling activity, set limits, take breaks when needed.
Problem gambling affects approximately 2-3% of South African adults according to National Gambling Board statistics. Warning signs include chasing losses, gambling with borrowed money, neglecting responsibilities, hiding gambling activity from family. Early recognition and intervention prevent escalation into serious financial and psychological harm.
Set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit caps through account settings. Limits activate immediately when lowered; increases require 24-hour cooling period before implementation. Recommended limits range 5-10% of monthly disposable income depending on financial situation and gambling frequency.
Specify maximum losses acceptable per day, week, or month. Once limit reached, system blocks further gameplay until timeframe resets. This prevents chasing losses—one of the most common problem gambling behaviors observed by counsellors.
Restrict continuous play duration to prevent extended sessions causing fatigue and poor decision-making. Set reminders at 30-minute, 1-hour, or custom intervals. System displays elapsed time and prompts break suggestions after configured duration expires.
Pop-up notifications appear at scheduled intervals displaying current session duration and net profit/loss. These interruptions encourage conscious evaluation of gambling activity rather than autopilot play. Configure frequency in account responsible gaming section.
Temporarily suspend account access for 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During time-out, login disabled and promotional communications cease. Useful for cooling off after heavy losses or when feeling gambling control slipping. Account reactivates automatically after period concludes.
Permanent account closure for minimum 6 months up to lifetime ban. Self-exclusion cannot be reversed during chosen period regardless of circumstances. Withdrawal requests processed before exclusion activates; outstanding balance paid within standard timeframes. Contact support to initiate self-exclusion procedure.
