Play responsibly

Keep the jackpot in perspective

Progressive jackpots are exciting precisely because they're rare. The house edge applies to every spin, including the ones that feed the jackpot. Spend only what you'd be happy to spend on a night out, and treat any win as a bonus.

Habits that help

• Set a monthly budget before you play, and don't top it up.
• Claim your daily streak without letting it turn into a long session.
• Use free SC and Unlimited Play before you consider buying coins.
• Redeem small wins as gift cards instead of playing them back.
• Never buy coins to chase a loss.

Signs to watch for

• Spending more than you planned, or money needed for bills
• Playing longer to win back losses
• Hiding how much you play
• Feeling irritable when you can't play

Tools

Jackpota's support can set purchase limits, a cool-off period or self-exclusion on your account; the same is available at its sister sites and most sweepstakes casinos. Blocking apps like Gamban and BetBlocker add another barrier.
