Gamble Responsibly
Our commitment
Oilse Ltd, the operator of winnersisland.casino, regards gambling as a form of entertainment that should be enjoyed within sensible limits. It should never be seen as a way to earn money or to solve financial difficulties. This policy sets out our approach to responsible gaming and the support available to anyone who wishes to keep gambling under control.
Gambling is strictly for adults. Persons below the minimum legal age for gambling in their jurisdiction must not gamble, open an account or use gambling services. We encourage parents and guardians to use device-level filtering software to prevent minors from reaching gambling websites, and never to leave their payment details accessible to children.
We encourage every player to gamble only with money they can afford to lose, to set limits in advance and to seek help promptly if gambling stops being enjoyable.
Warning signs
Gambling can become a problem gradually and without the person noticing. The following behaviours may indicate that gambling is becoming harmful:
- Spending more money or more time on gambling than originally intended.
- Chasing losses, that is, continuing to gamble in an attempt to win back money that has been lost.
- Borrowing money, selling possessions or neglecting bills and other financial obligations in order to gamble.
- Feeling restless, irritable or anxious when trying to cut down or stop gambling.
- Hiding gambling activity from family and friends, or lying about the amount of time and money spent on it.
- Neglecting work, studies, family or personal responsibilities because of gambling.
If one or more of these signs apply to you, we recommend that you take a break, use the tools described below and speak to someone you trust or to a support service.
Self-exclusion
Self-exclusion is a voluntary measure that allows a player to be barred from gambling for a chosen period or indefinitely. Licensed casinos make this tool available to their players, and a player may also ask a licensed operator directly to close their account and block future access.
In addition, players in Great Britain can use the national self-exclusion register GAMSTOP (gamstop.co.uk). A single registration with GAMSTOP blocks the player at all licensed operators at once. Registration is available for a fixed period chosen by the player, and it is advisable to consider carefully before choosing the length of exclusion.
During any period of self-exclusion, we advise players not to attempt to open new accounts and to consider removing gambling applications and installing blocking software on their devices.
Gaming limits
Licensed casinos provide tools that help players stay in control of their gambling. Depending on the operator, these may include:
- Deposit limits, which cap the amount a player can pay in over a day, week or month.
- Loss limits, which cap the total amount a player can lose within a chosen period.
- Time limits, which restrict the total time a player spends gambling within a chosen period.
- Session limits, which end a single period of play after a set length of time.
- Reality checks, which show regular reminders of the time spent playing and the amount staked or lost.
We recommend setting these limits before play begins, and reviewing them regularly. Limits should be set at a level that is comfortable for your personal finances.
Getting help
Anyone who is worried about their own gambling, or that of another person, can seek free and confidential support. In Great Britain, the following national helpline is available:
- GamCare - National Gambling Helpline 0808 8020 133 (gamcare.org.uk)
Anonymous self-help groups for people affected by gambling also exist, and many people find it useful to share their experience with others in the same situation. Speaking to a doctor, a trusted friend or a family member can also be a valuable first step.
