Responsible Gambling At Bruno Casino
The Purpose of Responsible Gambling Tools
Responsible gambling tools are designed to support players in maintaining control over their gaming habits, ensuring that gambling remains a fun, entertaining, and safe activity. These tools offer various ways for players to set boundaries around their gambling activity, such as deposit limits, loss limits, and playtime restrictions. Additionally, features like reality checks and self-exclusion provide comprehensive support for those who need them. At Bruno Casino, we are committed to promoting a healthy gaming environment by providing these essential tools. By utilising them, players can enjoy entertainment without exceeding the limits that ensure their gaming remains just that - a source of entertainment.
Setting a Limit
Setting limits is a proactive step you can take to keep your gaming activity in check. Whether you're setting financial limits or restricting your gaming sessions, Bruno Casino makes it straightforward to customise your limits according to your needs.
How to Set a Limit
- Log into your Bruno Casino account using your secure credentials.
- Navigate to the responsible gambling section found in your account dashboard. This is where you'll find all available tools designed to help manage your gambling activity responsibly.
- Select the type of limit you wish to set: whether you want to limit your deposits, cap your losses, or restrict the duration of your playtime, the choice is yours.
- Decide on the limit amount or duration that you are comfortable with, ensuring it reflects your financial situation and gaming goals.
- Confirm your settings to activate the limits, which will either be applied immediately or according to the specified conditions within your account.
Overview of Gambling Tools
Bruno Casino provides a range of tools to support responsible gambling habits. Here is an overview:
| Tool | What It Does | How to Switch It On |
|---|---|---|
| Deposit Limits | Restricts the total amount you can deposit over a daily, weekly, or monthly period, thus managing expenditure effectively. | Set up in the account settings under ‘Deposit Limits’ to customise your budget management. |
| Loss Limits | Allows you to limit the maximum amount you can lose in a chosen timeframe, helping to prevent losses from surpassing what you can afford. | Adjustable via the responsible gambling section in your account. |

| Self-Exclusion | Blocks access to your account for a selected period, providing an impactful break from gambling activities. | Can be requested through customer support or directly within your account settings. |
Self-Exclusion and How It Works
Self-exclusion is a crucial tool for anyone needing a hiatus from gambling. This feature temporarily deactivates your access to your Bruno Casino account for a timeframe you determine, ranging from a minimum of six months to permanent account closure. Choosing self-exclusion means you will not only be restricted from playing any games but also from receiving promotional emails and notifications. This ensures that during your exclusion period, you have the necessary space and time to reflect on your gambling habits.
Recognising the Warning Signs
Acknowledging the signs of problem gambling is key to maintaining healthy gaming practices. By identifying these signs early, you can take the necessary steps to prevent gambling from affecting your life negatively.

Regular reminders help maintain a healthy gaming environment by promoting time-conscious play.
