Responsible Gambling
Gambling is a negative challenge that extends to all fields of human activity and human life. The player, who has a gambling addiction, is wholly focused on it and does not look at its social, emotional, and financial position.
Nevertheless, if the concern to the game is considered, it is possible to avoid a gambling problem. RedStar offers the following features to monitor the game:
- underage persons (under 18 years old) are forbidden to play on our site.
- player can establish their limits on the number of deposits - for this, write a request to support@redstarpoker.eu
- players can set a self-exclusion on their accounts from 1 day up to 6 months, or indefinite. During the self-exclusion periods, players won't be able to use their account, and only after the self-exclusion has expired they can reaccess the casino game. Self-exclusion option is available on casino limits page.
