Playing Jaws of Justice should be fun, not a problem. We're all about keeping things safe and helping you stay in control. Here's what you need to know about responsible gaming. Understanding the game mechanics helps you know what you're getting into.
Simple rules to keep your Jaws of Justice sessions fun and under control
Jaws of Justice is meant to be fun, not a job. Don't expect to make money from it. Think of it like going to the movies - you pay for the experience, not the outcome.
Only bet what you can actually afford to lose. If you need that money for rent, groceries, or bills, don't touch it. Gaming money should be extra, not essential.
Decide how long you'll play before you start. Stick to it. Gaming shouldn't mess with your job, relationships, or responsibilities.
Don't play when you're drunk, high, or super stressed out. You need to think straight to make good decisions about your money.
Lost some money? Don't double down trying to get it back. That almost never works. Take the loss, walk away, come back another day if you want.
Don't hide your gaming from people who care about you. If it's starting to cause problems, that's a sign you need help.
These signs might mean gaming is becoming a problem
Most good casinos offer these features to help you manage your gaming
Set a max amount of time you can play per day, week, or month. Once you hit that limit, the site locks you out automatically.
Cap how much money you can put into your account per day, week, or month. Once you hit the limit, no more deposits allowed.
Set a max bet size so you can't go crazy with one spin. Helps you avoid those "just one more big bet" moments.
Lock your account for anywhere from 24 hours to 6 weeks. Gives you time to step back and think about your gaming habits.
If things are really out of hand, you can block your account for 6 months to 5 years. This is for serious situations where you need a hard reset.
Check your account history regularly. See how much time and money you're actually spending. Sometimes seeing the numbers helps you realize you need to slow down.
