Responsible Gaming at Fonsport24

Understanding Gambling Addiction

Excessive platform engagement, also known as compulsive behavior or engagement disorder, is a serious mental health condition that can have devastating effects on individuals and their families. It is recognized by the medical community as an impulse control disorder that requires professional treatment.

Gambling problems are associated with mental health issues and can manifest as depression, anxiety, and suicidal thoughts. They can also negatively affect family relationships, work performance, academic achievement, leading to financial ruin or even criminal behavior. Gambling should always be viewed as entertainment, not as a way to make money.

Warning Signs of Gambling Addiction

Recognizing the signs of excessive engagement early can help prevent serious consequences. Here are some common indicators:

Preoccupation with gaming: Constantly thinking about past gaming experiences, planning future platform activities, or figuring out ways to get money for gaming.
Increased gaming frequency: Gambling with larger amounts of money or for longer periods than intended.
Failed attempts to stop: Repeated unsuccessful efforts to control, cut back, or stop gaming.
Restlessness when not gaming: Feeling irritable or restless when trying to cut down or stop gaming.
Chasing losses: Returning another day to try to win back money lost during platform sessions.
Lying about gaming: Hiding the extent of gaming involvement from family, friends, or therapists.
Risky behavior: Committing illegal acts, such as forgery, fraud, theft, or embezzlement to finance gaming.
Relationship problems: Damaging or losing important relationships due to gaming.
Borrowing money: Relying on others to bail out financial situations caused by gaming.

Protecting Minors and Vulnerable Individuals

Fonsport24 is committed to protecting minors and vulnerable individuals from platform-related harm. We have implemented strict policies and procedures to ensure responsible gaming practices.

Age Verification and Protection

Our company strictly prohibits minors from participating in any platform activities. We do not market our products and services to individuals under the legal platform usage age or to mentally vulnerable individuals. All our advertisements, sponsorships, and marketing materials are designed to exclude content that could attract minors to gaming platforms.

To ensure all players are of legal age, we conduct continuous age verification checks. In cases where our automated systems cannot verify age, we may require additional documentation. Accounts may be limited or funds frozen until age verification is completed.

Responsible Advertising

We adhere to strict advertising standards that prevent the targeting of minors. Our marketing campaigns are designed to promote responsible platform usage and are never directed at individuals under the legal platform usage age.

Parental Controls

If you share your computer or device with minors, you must take steps to prevent them from accessing gaming sites. There are several parental control software options available, such as NetNanny, Cyber Patrol, and built-in browser controls that can restrict access to gaming websites.

Gambling Addiction Self-Assessment

To assess whether your platform habits may be problematic, answer these questions honestly:

Do you feel the need to gamble with increasing amounts of money to achieve the same level of excitement?
Do you feel restless or irritable when attempting to cut down or stop gaming?
Have you made repeated unsuccessful efforts to control, cut back, or stop gaming?
Do you often gamble when feeling distressed (e.g., helpless, guilty, anxious, depressed)?
Do you often return to gaming another day to get even ("chase") after losing money?
Do you lie to family members, friends, or others to conceal the extent of your gaming involvement?
Have you jeopardized or lost a significant relationship, job, or educational opportunity because of gaming?
Have you relied on others to provide money to relieve a desperate financial situation caused by gaming?

If you answered "Yes" to 4 or more of these questions, you may have a gaming problem. We strongly recommend seeking professional help immediately.

Prevention and Responsible Gambling Tips

Prevention is always better than cure. Here are practical tips to maintain healthy platform habits:

Users may request early removal of the exclusion, but this decision is at the company's discretion. During the exclusion period, users must not create new accounts.

Deposit limits: Set maximum amounts you can deposit within specific time periods
Betting limits: Set maximum bet amounts for individual wagers
Loss limits: Set maximum loss thresholds before gaming is restricted
Session limits: Set maximum time periods for platform sessions

These limits can be adjusted at any time, but changes take effect 24 hours after the request to prevent impulsive decisions.

For those who want to limit their platform participation, the Company offers a voluntary self-exclusion service that allows the player to close their account or limit their betting ability for one of the following periods: 1 month, 6 months, 1 year. The blocking is carried out only after submitting photos of documents confirming ownership of the user account. After the account goes through a similar procedure, access to the account will be closed until the selected period expires. When the self-exclusion period ends, the bettor will be able to use any Site Service again. The user may request the removal of the account block before the end of the self-exclusion period, but the decision to fulfill this request is at the Company's discretion.

If you want to limit your online activity, please contact Fonsport24 Customer Service. We can limit the maximum bet amount you can place when betting. These amounts can be revised by you at any time, but any change will only be made 24 hours after the last change. During the self-exclusion period, the bettor must not open a new account. The player acknowledges that we will not be financially or otherwise responsible if they continue gaming using a new account, name or address. In exceptional cases, the account block may be removed before the block period expires.
