BLACK LOTUS / GOOD TO KNOW

Keep play within your limits

Gambling is paid entertainment with a risk of loss. It is not a way to earn an income or solve money problems.

Updated 27 October 2026

Set limits before starting

Only use money you can afford to lose after essential expenses. Set a spending limit and a time limit, take breaks and never chase losses. Avoid gambling when upset or impaired.

Use the account controls

Look for deposit limits, time-outs and self-exclusion in the operator’s account settings. If play stops feeling manageable, stop and use support. Do not create another account to bypass an exclusion.
