RESPONSIBLE GAMBLING

Gambling should be fun — a form of entertainment, not a way to make money or escape problems. We're committed to keeping it that way. If gambling is no longer fun for you, we have tools to help.

Self-Exclusion

If you feel that gambling is becoming a problem, you can exclude yourself from ScrapYard for 30 days. Your account will be locked and you will not be able to log in or place bets during the exclusion period. This action takes effect immediately.

Request Self-Exclusion

This will immediately lock your account for 30 days. Your balance will be preserved. You can contact support after the exclusion period to request reinstatement.

Deposit Limits

Managing how much you deposit is one of the most effective tools for responsible gambling. We recommend setting personal limits before you start playing:

Decide on a maximum amount you are comfortable losing before you start a session
Never chase losses — accept that losing is a normal part of gambling
Set a time limit for each session and stick to it
Never gamble money that is meant for essential expenses (rent, food, bills)
Avoid gambling when tired, stressed, or under the influence of alcohol or drugs

If you would like a custom deposit limit applied to your account, contact us at cporter2us@gmail.com — we will configure it for you.

Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can develop gradually. These are warning signs to watch for in yourself or others:

💸

Gambling with money you can't afford to lose, or borrowing money to gamble

🔄

Chasing losses — continuing to bet to try to win back money already lost

🕐

Spending more time gambling than intended, losing track of time

🤐

Hiding gambling activity from friends or family

😟

Feeling anxious, irritable, or depressed when not gambling

🚫

Neglecting work, school, relationships, or responsibilities due to gambling

📈

Needing to bet larger and larger amounts to get the same feeling

🆘

Thinking about gambling constantly, even when doing other things

If you recognise several of these signs, please consider using our self-exclusion tool above and reaching out to one of the support organisations below.
