Responsible Gaming at maxxWin
At maxxWin, we are committed to providing a safe, fair, and enjoyable gaming environment for all our players. We recognise that gambling should be a form of entertainment, and we take seriously the responsibility to protect our customers from potential harm. Our approach aligns with the UK Gambling Commission’s regulations and the principles of the UK Gambling Act 2005, ensuring that all gambling activities are conducted responsibly and transparently.
Our Commitment to You
We understand that while most players gamble responsibly, a small number may develop problematic behaviour. Our mission is to support you in staying in control of your gaming, providing tools, information, and assistance to help you make informed choices. Responsible gaming is a shared responsibility between maxxWin and our players.
Player Control Tools
To help you manage your gaming activity, maxxWin offers a comprehensive suite of player-controlled settings accessible through your account dashboard:
- Deposit Limits: Set daily, weekly, or monthly limits on how much money you can add to your account. These limits can be adjusted or removed, but changes are subject to a mandatory cooling-off period to prevent impulsive increases.
- Wager and Loss Limits: Define the maximum amount you can stake or lose within a set period, helping you stay within your budget.
- Session Time Limits: Choose how long you wish to play during a single session. Once the limit is reached, you will receive an alert or be logged out automatically.
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily suspend your account for a period ranging from 24 hours to six months. For longer breaks, please contact our support team.
- Permanent Account Closure: If you decide to stop gambling altogether, you can request permanent closure of your account.
Recognising Signs of Problem Gambling
Gambling should always remain a fun and controlled activity. If you notice any of the following signs in your behaviour, it may be time to seek help:
- Gambling to recover losses or “chase” money
- Borrowing money or using credit to fund gambling
- Spending more time or money than intended
- Neglecting work, family, or social commitments due to gambling
- Experiencing arguments or conflicts with loved ones about gambling
- Using money intended for essential expenses (rent, bills, food) for gambling
- Feeling preoccupied with gambling or planning the next bet
Answering “yes” to any of these may indicate a risk of gambling harm, and we encourage you to act promptly.
Best Practices for Responsible Gambling
- Set a loss limit before you start and stick to it strictly.
- View gambling as entertainment, not a way to make money.
- Never gamble with borrowed money.
- Take regular breaks and avoid long sessions.
- Balance gambling with other hobbies and interests.
- Avoid gambling when feeling stressed, upset, or under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
- Use only disposable income for gambling – never essential funds.
Self-Assessment and Support
If you are uncertain about your gambling habits, we recommend taking a confidential self-assessment quiz available on our website. This can help you evaluate your behaviour and identify if you need support.
For personalised assistance, our Responsible Gambling Team is available 24/7. You can contact us via email at [email protected] or through our Live Chat service.
Account Closure and Self-Exclusion Procedures
- Temporary Self-Exclusion: You can suspend your account for any period between 24 hours and six months directly through your account settings.
- Permanent Account Closure: To permanently close your account, please contact Customer Support. We will assist you with the process and ensure any remaining balance is returned promptly.
- Withdrawal of Funds: We encourage you to withdraw any remaining funds before initiating account closure or self-exclusion.
- Reactivation: Accounts closed for reasons unrelated to problem gambling may be reactivated upon request, subject to review. However, we reserve the right to refuse reactivation to protect player welfare.
Protecting Minors and Underage Players
maxxWin has a strict policy prohibiting anyone under the age of 18 from gambling. We employ rigorous age verification checks during account registration and payment processing to prevent underage access.
To protect children in your household, we recommend the following measures:
- Use parental control or filtering software such as Net Nanny or Qustodio to block gambling content.
- Keep your login credentials and payment details confidential and out of reach of minors.
- Never leave devices logged into your account unattended.
- Avoid saving passwords on shared or public devices.
