Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming
Wplay operates under the strict regulations of Coljuegos, which mandates robust responsible gaming measures. We believe in empowering our players with the knowledge and tools to maintain control over their gambling behavior. Our policies are designed to prevent problem gambling and provide support to those who need it. This includes ensuring fair play in all games, from slots to live dealer experiences, and promoting healthy gaming habits.
Tools for Self-Control
Wplay provides several self-management tools accessible directly from your account settings to help you gamble responsibly. These tools are designed to give you control over your gaming activity and prevent it from becoming problematic. It's advisable to consider setting limits from the moment you register.
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
| Deposit Limits | Set a maximum amount you can deposit over a chosen period (daily, weekly, monthly). |
| Loss Limits | Define the maximum amount you are willing to lose over a set period. |
| Session Limits | Control the maximum duration of your gaming sessions, prompting a break when reached. |
| Self-Exclusion | Temporarily or permanently block access to your Wplay account. Periods can range from months to years. |
These limits can be adjusted through your profile settings. Increases to limits often require a cooling-off period before taking effect, emphasizing responsible changes.
Recognizing Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can affect anyone. Recognizing the signs early is crucial for seeking timely help. Consider if any of these behaviors apply to you or someone you know:
- Spending more money or time on gambling than you can afford.
- Feeling compelled to gamble to recover losses.
- Lying to family or friends about gambling habits.
- Feeling irritable or anxious when unable to gamble.
- Gambling affecting work, relationships, or personal finances.
- Chasing losses with higher stakes, even on casino games.
If you identify with these signs, or if others express concern about your gaming, it is important to seek help.
Seeking Help
Wplay encourages players who feel their gambling is becoming a problem to seek professional assistance. We provide information on independent organizations specializing in problem gambling support. These organizations offer confidential advice and counseling.
- Local Gambling Support Hotlines and Helplines (e.g., provided by Coljuegos for Colombia).
- Gamblers Anonymous.
- GamCare (for international resources and advice).
For immediate support within Wplay, you can always reach out to customer service after you login.
Parental Controls
Wplay is committed to preventing underage gambling. Our registration process includes age verification checks. For parents and guardians, we recommend implementing parental control software to prevent minors from accessing gambling sites on shared devices. Many internet browsers and operating systems offer built-in features for this, and third-party software can also block access to gambling content. Even using the Wplay App requires age verification.
Typical User Mistakes
Understanding and avoiding common mistakes related to responsible gaming can foster a healthier gambling experience:
- Not setting limits: Failing to utilize the available deposit, loss, or session limits from the start.
- Chasing losses: Trying to win back money lost by increasing bets, which often leads to further financial strain.
- Ignoring warning signs: Dismissing concerns from friends, family, or personal feelings about gambling habits.
- Viewing gambling as income: Believing that gambling can be a reliable source of income rather than a form of entertainment with inherent risks.
- Not taking breaks: Continuous, extended gambling sessions without breaks can lead to poor decision-making.
- Using bonuses without understanding terms: While promos are exciting, neglecting their wagering requirements can lead to frustration and feel like a trap if not managed responsibly.
