Responsible Gambling
At Bellagio Hotel & Casino, we are committed to providing a safe and responsible gaming environment for all players. Our goal is to encourage balanced gaming habits and help prevent gambling-related harm.
Safe and Balanced Gaming Habits
Gaming should remain an enjoyable form of entertainment. Set personal limits on your betting activity and stay within them. Avoid chasing losses or increasing your stakes in an attempt to recover money. Remember that gambling involves risk, and knowing when to stop is an important part of responsible play.
Budget and Bankroll Management
Set a separate gambling budget and only use money you can afford to lose. Keep track of your deposits, bets, and overall spending to help maintain control and protect your essential financial commitments.
Deposit Limits: Set personal limits on the amount you can deposit within a chosen period.
Loss Limits: Establish a maximum amount you are prepared to lose during a gaming session or over a defined period.
Wager Limits: Set appropriate betting limits for individual games or activities.
Reality Checks and Time Reminders
Regular breaks can help you maintain control of your gaming activity. Use available reality-check reminders to review your session duration and spending at regular intervals.
Cooling-Off Periods and Self-Exclusion Tools
Players can use available responsible gambling controls to take a temporary break or restrict access to their account. Cooling-off periods provide a short-term pause from gambling, while self-exclusion allows players to suspend access for an extended period or permanently.
Account Verification and Age Restrictions
Gambling is available only to players who meet the applicable legal age requirements. Age and identity verification may be required during registration or before certain account activities. Players should never allow minors to access their gambling account or device.
Protection of Vulnerable Players
Players who feel that gambling is becoming difficult to control are encouraged to use available account restrictions, cooling-off periods, or self-exclusion tools. Additional support from qualified gambling-support professionals can also help players manage their gambling activity.
Warning Signs of Problematic Gambling
Potential warning signs include increasing bet sizes to recover losses, spending more than you can afford, frequently thinking about gambling, feeling anxious or distressed about losses, hiding gambling activity from others, borrowing money to gamble, or finding it difficult to stop.
Support and Professional Help
If gambling is causing financial, emotional, or social difficulties, consider seeking advice from a qualified support service or professional. Talking to someone you trust can also be a useful first step toward regaining control.
Responsible Bonus Usage
Use promotional offers only when they fit within your personal gambling budget. Always review the applicable bonus conditions, wagering requirements, contribution rules, and expiry periods before accepting an offer. Never increase your gambling activity simply to use a promotion.
Safer Gambling During Slots, Live Casino, Sportsbook, or Promotional Play
Different forms of gambling require different approaches to managing risk:
Slots: Set session and spending limits before playing and take regular breaks.
Live Casino: Decide on a suitable betting budget and understand the rules of each game before participating.
Sports Betting: Keep individual wagers within your predetermined budget and avoid increasing stakes to recover previous losses.
Promotions: Review all applicable conditions and time limits before using promotional funds.
Mobile Gambling Awareness
Mobile access makes gambling available from almost anywhere, so it is important to remain aware of how frequently and for how long you play. Set session limits, review your betting history regularly, and avoid prolonged gambling sessions or impulsive increases in stakes.
Family and Device Protection Measures
Take steps to prevent other people, particularly minors, from accessing your gambling account or gambling websites through your devices. Use device security settings, parental controls, and other access restrictions where appropriate.
Account Security and Player Protection
At Bellagio Hotel & Casino, account security and player protection are important aspects of the gaming experience. Keep your login credentials private, use appropriate security settings, and contact support if you notice unusual activity on your account. Personal and account information is protected using appropriate security measures.
Compliance with Gambling Regulations
We follow applicable gambling regulations and responsible gambling requirements in the jurisdictions where our services are offered. Responsible gambling measures are maintained to support player protection and promote safer gaming practices.
This Responsible Gambling page provides practical guidance for maintaining control over gambling activity and recognising when additional support may be appropriate.
