How to combat gaming addiction

Healthy and responsible gambling at Mozzart

For many people, online gambling is an excellent opportunity to relax. However, for some people, it can become a cause of problems. Most of our clients never encounter such issues. Nevertheless, a responsible approach to gambling is essential not only for those who already struggle with addiction or are vulnerable. We are convinced that such an approach is necessary for all our players.

At Mozzart, we are dedicated to providing a safe gaming environment. We offer our players useful information, tools, and guidance to help them play responsibly.

Mozzart provides players a range of responsible gaming tools:

  • Take mindful breaks from gaming. You can set timeouts of varying lengths, from one day to several weeks.
  • Self-exclusion. You can voluntarily restrict access to gaming for a period from six months to five years.
  • The auto-control feature allows you set restrictions on bets and losses, and pause the game when you win the jackpot to secure your winnings.
  • Monitor how much time you spend playing and take scheduled pauses. This will help you control the time spent gaming.
  • Track your gaming activity to see all your operations, top-ups, and withdrawals.
  • Set limits on account top-ups. This allows you to control your expenses on games and adjust or remove these limits whenever you wish.

Could you be at risk? Check these warning signs

To understand whether you have exceeded the threshold with online gambling, consider a few questions:

  • Do you feel restless or anxious when trying to reduce time spent on games?
  • Have you struggled with difficulties in trying to reduce time spent on games or quit entirely?
  • Have you felt feelings of guilt or shame after gambling sessions?
  • Do you regularly try to raise your bets to recapture that rush?
  • Do you spend more time on games than you originally planned, putting off work and daily responsibilities?
  • Have you missed important responsibilities or appointments because of gaming?
  • Do you feel a compulsion to play to distract yourself from stress?
  • Have you kept things from your family about how much time or money you spend on gambling?

If you answered "yes" to at least one of these questions, it could indicate a problem. It is essential to recognize it and take steps to get back on track.

What to do if you notice a predisposition to gambling addiction?

Recognizing the problem is the key step toward overcoming it.

Be honest with those around you, and if needed, seek qualified help. Here are some steps to help you manage your situation:

  • Share the situation with trusted friends.
  • Use self-exclusion or blocking tools on Mozzart and other online sportsbooks.
  • Set clear restrictions on the time and money you are willing to spend on gaming.
  • Explore alternative hobbies to replace gambling.
