Responsible Gaming

Lazybar Casino is committed to promoting safer and more informed gambling. Gambling should be treated as entertainment, not as a way to make money, solve financial problems or recover losses. Before you play, understand the risks, set personal limits and only gamble with money and time you can afford to lose.

Lazybar Casino operates under two licences issued by the Curaçao Gaming Control Board: OGL/2024/1126/0521 and #5536/JAZ. All transactions and personal data are protected by SSL encryption.

Gamble for entertainment

Gambling can be an enjoyable leisure activity when it remains within your personal and financial limits. However, all gambling involves risk, and there is no guaranteed way to win. Game results are determined by chance or by the rules of the relevant game. Previous results do not predict future results, and a win does not make another win more likely.

Lazybar Casino encourages every player to make decisions before playing and to follow those decisions during a session. Do not view gambling as an investment, a source of income or a way to resolve financial difficulties. Chasing losses can lead to larger bets, longer sessions and further harm. If gambling stops being fun or begins to cause stress, take a break and consider seeking support.

Practical ways to stay in control

Set a budget before you play and use only money available for entertainment.
Set a time limit and take regular breaks away from the screen.
Decide in advance how much you are prepared to lose and stop when you reach that amount.
Avoid gambling when you are upset, tired, stressed or under the influence of alcohol.
Do not gamble to escape personal problems or difficult emotions.
Do not borrow money, use essential household funds or sell possessions to gamble.
Keep gambling separate from rent, bills, food, education, savings and other necessities.
Never chase losses or increase your stake because you believe a win is due.
Avoid playing when distracted, pressured or unable to concentrate.
Review your gambling activity regularly so you understand how much time and money you are spending.

It can help to discuss your limits with someone you trust. An outside perspective may make it easier to notice changes in your behaviour and remain accountable to the decisions you made before playing.

Tools and personal limits

Depending on the features available to your account, you may be able to use responsible gambling tools to help manage your play. These tools can support your decisions, but they do not remove the risks of gambling. You are responsible for choosing limits that reflect your circumstances and for stopping when a limit is reached.

Deposit, loss and spending controls

A deposit or spending limit may help restrict the amount of money added to your account over a selected period. Consider setting a limit that is comfortably affordable rather than choosing the highest amount available. Allow time for a requested limit to take effect where applicable. Do not continue gambling through another account, payment method or device to avoid a limit.

Time reminders and breaks

Time can pass quickly during an online gambling session. Use available session reminders, alarms or breaks to check how long you have been playing. Step away regularly, particularly if you are becoming tired, frustrated or focused only on winning. A break can help you reassess whether continuing is a sensible choice.

Self-exclusion

If you need a longer break or do not want to gamble, consider self-exclusion. Self-exclusion is a commitment to stop using gambling services for a chosen period or until you decide to seek further assistance, subject to the available process and applicable requirements. During self-exclusion, do not attempt to open or use another account.

Use the responsible gambling or account support options available through the Lazybar Casino website to ask about limits, breaks and self-exclusion. Tools are most effective when used early. You do not need to wait until gambling has caused serious problems before setting a limit, taking a break or asking for help.

Recognising when gambling may be a problem

Problem gambling can affect anyone, regardless of age, income or previous experience. It may develop gradually, and a person may not recognise the change immediately. Consider your gambling habits honestly and speak with someone you trust if you are concerned about your behaviour or someone else’s.

Possible warning signs

Spending more time or money gambling than you originally intended.
Trying to win back money after a loss or feeling unable to stop.
Increasing bet amounts to achieve the same excitement.
Thinking about gambling frequently or struggling to focus on other activities.
Hiding, minimising or being dishonest about gambling.
Borrowing money, missing payments or using savings to continue gambling.
Feeling anxious, irritable, guilty or low after gambling.
Arguing with family, friends or colleagues because of gambling.
Neglecting work, study, relationships, health or other responsibilities.
Using gambling to cope with stress, loneliness, boredom or difficult emotions.
Returning to gambling after deciding to stop or take a break.

If any of these signs sound familiar, stop gambling and seek assistance. Speaking with a qualified counsellor, health professional or trusted person can help you understand what is happening and identify practical next steps. You can ask for help even if your losses appear small or you are unsure whether your behaviour qualifies as a problem.

Looking after someone else

If you are worried about a friend or family member, approach the conversation calmly and without blame. Explain what you have noticed, listen to their concerns and encourage them to seek professional support. Avoid lending money for gambling or covering up gambling-related problems. An appropriate support service can also advise you about protecting your own wellbeing and finances.

Support, age and account safety

Players in Australia who are concerned about gambling should seek help from an appropriate gambling support service, health professional or counsellor. Independent support may provide confidential guidance about reducing or stopping gambling, managing financial stress and supporting a family member. Information about relevant services is available through Australian government and community health resources.

If gambling has contributed to an immediate risk to your safety or wellbeing, stop gambling and contact emergency services or an appropriate crisis service without delay. If you feel at risk of harming yourself or another person, seek urgent assistance from emergency services or a qualified health professional.

Lazybar Casino does not encourage anyone to gamble beyond their means. If you believe your account is contributing to harmful gambling, stop using it and use the responsible gambling or account support options available on the website. We may take steps permitted under applicable requirements to protect players and maintain a safer gambling environment.

Underage gambling is not permitted

Gambling is only available to people who meet the applicable legal age and eligibility requirements. Do not allow children or other unauthorised people to access your account or payment methods. Keep your login details private, use suitable device security and supervise access to devices that can be used for gambling.

If you suspect that an underage person has accessed an account, stop the activity and contact the available support channel promptly. Do not create or use another person’s account, and do not allow anyone else to use yours.

Protect your account

Use a strong password that is not used for another service.
Do not share your password, verification codes or account access with anyone.
Log out of your account on shared or public devices.
Review account activity and report anything you do not recognise.
Keep your personal and payment information secure.
Use appropriate device security and keep software up to date.
Do not create or use another person’s account, or allow another person to use yours.

For more information about available controls, breaks or self-exclusion, use the responsible gambling and account support options shown on the Lazybar Casino website. Gambling should remain affordable, voluntary and enjoyable. If it no longer meets those standards, stop playing and seek support.
