Our Commitment

At Interim SCS, we believe that gambling should only ever be a form of entertainment. We are committed to promoting responsible gambling practices and providing our visitors with the information and resources they need to stay in control.

Signs of Problem Gambling

If you or someone you know experiences any of the following, it may be time to seek help:

  • Spending more money or time on gambling than you can afford
  • Chasing losses or borrowing money to gamble
  • Feeling anxious, stressed, or irritable when not gambling
  • Neglecting work, family, or personal responsibilities due to gambling
  • Lying to family or friends about how much you gamble
  • Gambling to escape problems or relieve negative feelings
  • Being unable to stop or reduce gambling despite wanting to
  • Experiencing relationship difficulties because of gambling

Tips for Responsible Gambling

  • Set a budget: Decide how much you can afford to lose before you start and stick to it
  • Set a time limit: Decide in advance how long you will play and stop when time is up
  • Never chase losses: Accept losses as the cost of entertainment and walk away
  • Don't gamble when upset: Avoid gambling when you are stressed, depressed, or emotional
  • Take regular breaks: Step away from the screen frequently
  • Don't borrow to gamble: Only ever use money you can afford to lose
  • Balance gambling with other activities: Make sure gambling does not become your only hobby
  • Understand the odds: The house always has an edge — gambling is not a way to make money

Self-Exclusion Tools

Most reputable online casinos offer self-exclusion tools that allow you to temporarily or permanently block access to your account. If you feel you need to take a break, we encourage you to use these features. Common options include:

  • Deposit limits: Set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit caps
  • Loss limits: Limit the amount you can lose in a set period
  • Session time limits: Set reminders or automatic logouts after a period of play
  • Self-exclusion: Block yourself from accessing the casino for a chosen period
  • Permanent closure: Close your account permanently
