Responsible Gaming: Your Well-being Comes First
This is, without a shadow of a doubt, the most important page on our entire website. Let's talk openly. Playing at an online Casino like Duelz should be a fun and exciting form of entertainment. It should be a way to unwind, not a source of stress or financial trouble. The moment it stops being fun, it's time to take a step back. Our commitment is to provide you with the information and resources you need to ensure your gaming habits remain healthy and under your control.
Our Philosophy on Safe Play
We believe that responsible gaming is a shared responsibility. Operators like Duelz have a duty to provide tools and a safe environment, and we have a duty to promote them. As a player, you have the power to use these tools to protect yourself. The goal is simple: keep it fun, keep it safe, and never bet more than you can comfortably afford to lose.
Key Principles for Staying in Control
It's easy to get caught up in the moment. Keeping these simple rules at the front of your mind can make all the difference:
- Treat it as entertainment, not a job. Think of the money you spend as the cost of entertainment, like buying a cinema ticket. Wins are a bonus, not an expectation.
- Set a budget and stick to it. Before you even Login, decide on a spending limit for the day, week, or month—and do not exceed it.
- Never chase your losses. This is the golden rule. Trying to win back money you've lost is a dangerous path. Accept the loss and walk away.
- Set a time limit. Decide how long you're going to play for and take a break when the time is up.
- Don't play when you're upset or stressed. Gambling should not be an escape from problems. Making decisions when you're not in a clear state of mind is a bad idea.
