Responsible Gaming
Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming
At Palms Garden Square, we are committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. Gambling should be enjoyed as entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Please gamble responsibly and within your means.
Age Verification
You must be at least 18 years of age or the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction to access and use our services. We strictly prohibit gambling by anyone under the legal age. By accessing our website, you confirm that you meet these age requirements.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you experience any of the following signs, you may be developing a gambling problem. Please seek help immediately:
- Spending more money on gambling than you can afford to lose
- Gambling with money intended for essential expenses (rent, bills, food)
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- Hiding your gambling activities from family, friends, or partners
- Experiencing mood swings, irritability, or anxiety related to gambling
- Neglecting work, school, or family responsibilities due to gambling
- Borrowing money to gamble or pay off gambling debts
- Unsuccessful attempts to stop or reduce gambling
- Lying about the amount of time or money spent gambling
- Using gambling to escape problems, stress, or negative emotions
Self-Help Tools
Most online casinos, including our partner sites, offer tools to help you maintain control:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specified time period
- Loss Limits: Cap the amount you're willing to lose in a given timeframe
- Reality Checks: Receive regular reminders about how long you've been playing and how much you've spent
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from gambling accounts
- Session Timers: Set time limits for your gaming sessions
We encourage you to use these tools proactively to manage your gambling responsibly.
