Responsible Gaming

1. The Responsible Gambling Philosophy at Fortune Tiger

Welcome to the Responsible Gambling section of Fortune Tiger! Our platform is built on the fundamental principle that entertainment and fun must always go hand in hand with the safety, well-being, and mental health of our players. For us, responsible gambling is not just an institutional policy, but the central pillar that guides every strategic decision, every feature, and every interaction on the platform.

At Fortune Tiger, we understand that online casino games represent, at their core, a legitimate and enjoyable form of leisure. They are designed to provide moments of excitement, relaxation, and entertainment — never to become a source of financial problems, family conflicts, or emotional distress. For this reason, we dedicate significant resources to building an environment where every player can enjoy our games with complete peace of mind and full awareness.

1.1 The concept of Responsible Gambling

Responsible gambling is an integrated set of principles, practices, policies, and tools aimed at ensuring that players maintain absolute control over their betting behavior. This means recognizing that bets should be placed exclusively with money one can afford to lose, within previously defined limits of time and budget, and always with full awareness of the risks inherent in any gambling activity.

1.2 Fundamental pillars

• Awareness — fully understanding the actions and values involved;
• Control — maintaining mastery over time and money invested in gambling;
• Balance — ensuring gambling does not harm other areas of life;
• Protection — actively using all available tools;
• Support — seeking professional help whenever necessary;
• Transparency — understanding the real probabilities of games;
• Moderation — keeping gambling as a leisure activity among others.

2. Recognizing the Signs of Problem Gambling

Early identification of potentially problematic behaviors is essential to prevent recreational gambling from turning into addiction. Below are the main warning signs that deserve immediate attention from the player as well as from family and close friends.

2.1 Behavioral signs

• Constant and obsessive thoughts about betting;
• Progressive increase in wager amounts to achieve the same excitement;
• Repeated attempts to recover losses (the “chasing” effect);
• Frequent lies to family about time or money spent;
• Requests for loans or selling assets to finance gambling;
• Neglect of professional, academic, or family responsibilities;
• Multiple unsuccessful attempts to stop or reduce gambling.

2.2 Emotional and psychological signs

• Irritability, anxiety, or aggression when unable to play;
• Intense feelings of guilt or shame after gambling sessions;
• Depressive states, especially after significant losses;
• Excessive euphoria during play followed by deep apathy;
• Progressive social isolation from friends and family;
• Loss of interest in hobbies and enjoyable activities;
• Significant changes in sleep and appetite patterns.

2.3 Financial signs

• Increasing difficulty paying basic bills;
• Rapid accumulation of credit card and loan debt;
• Unexplained disappearance of money or valuables;
• Frequent requests for loans from family and friends;
• Use of salary, savings, or essential funds to sustain gambling addiction;
• Opening multiple bank accounts to hide spending.

2.4 Self-assessment

Answer the questions below honestly. If three or more answers are “yes,” we strongly recommend seeking professional help:

• Have you ever bet more than you could afford to lose?
• Do you feel the need to increase bet amounts?
• Have you tried to stop gambling several times without success?
• Do you gamble to escape problems or unpleasant emotions?
• After losing, do you feel an urgent need to continue playing?
• Have you lied to others about your gambling habits?
• Has gambling damaged important relationships?

3. Fortune Tiger Self-Control Tools

Fortune Tiger offers a comprehensive and technologically advanced set of tools so that every player can fully customize their gaming experience according to their personal limits. All these tools are accessible in the “Responsible Gambling” section of your user dashboard and can be activated at any time.

3.1 Deposit limits

Deposit limits represent the first and most important line of defense against excessive spending. You define in advance how much you are willing to deposit within a given period:

• Daily limit — maximum amount allowed within 24 hours;
• Weekly limit — maximum amount within 7 consecutive days;
• Monthly limit — maximum amount within 30 days.

Important: lowering any limit takes effect immediately, but increasing it requires a 7-day reflection period before activation — a measure designed to prevent impulsive decisions.

3.2 Bet and loss limits

• Maximum bet per round — limits each individual wager;
• Loss limit — sets the maximum loss within a period;
• Session limit — controls total spending per session;
• Attempt limit — maximum number of consecutive bets.

3.3 Time controls

• Maximum session duration — time limit per login session;
• Total daily play time — maximum hours within 24 hours;
• Reality Check — configurable alerts every 15, 30, or 60 minutes;
• Restricted hours — automatic blocking during specific periods;
• Mandatory break — forced pauses after long sessions.

3.4 Breaks and self-exclusion

• Cooling-off — short break from 24 hours to 7 days;
• Intermediate break — 1 to 3 months;
• Extended self-exclusion — 6 months to 5 years;
• Permanent self-exclusion — permanent account closure.

During the entire self-exclusion period, access to your account, deposits, and games is completely blocked. All marketing communications are also automatically stopped.

3.5 Communication controls

You can disable promotional emails, SMS, push notifications, and special offers at any time. This helps reduce psychological triggers that could lead to impulsive betting.
