Responsible Gambling

Pin-up is a socially responsible company. A safe, healthy and positive environment has been created on our platform. We want you to enjoy the game and openly inform you about all the social and financial risks associated with gambling. 

Make sure that the situation is under control

Gambling should be a hobby, but some people, unfortunately, perceive it exclusively as a source of income. Very often in such cases, they face emotional distress and lose money. We want you to enjoy the game on the Pin-up website, so we ask you to follow our recommendations: 

1. Playing for real money should be a hobby, not a job. Know when to stop;
2. Do not try to recoup immediately after defeat. This will lead to new losses;
3. Play casino and place bets only when you can afford it;
4. Set limits on the time of the game and the bankroll;
5. If you feel that you have an addiction, please contact our support service. We will be able to temporarily block your account so that you take a break from the game;
6. If you feel you are losing the fight against addiction, contact any professional organizations that assist gamblers (examples below). 

Do you feel like you’ve lost control of yourself?

If you have concluded that gambling has a bad impact on your life, then you need to change something. Ask yourself a few questions: 

1. Did gambling force you to temporarily take a break from your studies or work?
2. Do you play at an online casino because you are bored?
3. Has anyone publicly told you that you have a great attachment to gambling?
4. Have your friends and family stopped communicating with you because of your online casino habits?
5. Have you lied to anyone about how much money you spend at online casinos?
6. Have you ever lied or stolen to get money for gambling?
7. Do you think that you started saving on other things to invest more money in gambling?
8. Do you play until you lose all your money?
9. After losing, do you have a desire to immediately win back the money?
10. Do you play at online casinos in a state of frustration or depression?
11. Have you been depressed after a series of losses or have you ever considered suicide? 

If you answered positively to at least one of these questions, it means that you have problems with gambling addiction. You need to seriously consider stopping playing at an online casino or seeking professional help. 

Self-exclusion

The Pin-up website has a function of voluntary account blocking. If you feel that you have developed a gambling addiction, we strongly recommend that you use this option. It provides for blocking the account for a certain or indefinite period. You will not be able to use it until the full expiration of the blocking period. If you feel the need to take a break from the game, then write to our support service via Live Chat. 

To restore access to your account, you need to send us a written request. Use a Live Chat for this. Indicate in your request that you would like to cancel the voluntary blocking of your account, and we will fulfill your wish as soon as possible.
