29. RESPONSIBLE GAMING

We are committed to endorsing responsible gaming as a policy of customer care and social responsibility. We believe it is our responsibility to You, our customer, to ensure that You enjoy Your wagering experience on our site while remaining fully aware of the social and financial harms associated with problem gaming. Check out our Responsible Gaming guide for more information.

a) Deposit Limits

After account registration, You can set Your own daily, weekly, and monthly deposit limits at any time. If You want to increase Your deposit limit, You must wait 24 hours, after which You must confirm the value increase, for immediate implementation. If You decline the increase, Your deposit limit will remain as the previously selected value. You can find more information about our Responsible Gaming Guide here.

b) Self-exclusion

We want everyone to enjoy playing our Games. However, we do recognise that some customers would wish to restrict or even cease playing. We, therefore, provide a self-exclusion facility that allows customers to close their accounts for a temporary period from 1 hour to a much longer period up to 5 years or permanently.

You can select a self-exclusion period by contacting our customer service support team directly by emailing support@natural8in.com. If You choose to self-exclude, you will not be qualified for any bonuses or promotions that we may offer during the self-exclusion period. Within two days of choosing to self-exclude, You will also be excluded from any marketing material that we may send (which You would have previously provided us with Your explicit consent to receive). No further marketing material will be sent until the self-exclusion period is over, and/or You have requested to return to the Application or Website.

If You choose to self-exclude, Your account will be closed for the duration of the selected period, and You will no longer have access to the Games. We will return Your remaining account balance in accordance with our Withdrawal Policy. During your self-exclusion period, You must not attempt to play with us. We will not be responsible or liable for any subsequent consequences or losses (however caused) that You may suffer or incur if You continue gaming through additional accounts where You have altered any of Your registration details or You provide misleading, inaccurate, or incomplete details or otherwise seek to circumvent the self-exclusion.

If You choose to reopen Your account once the self-exclusion period has ended, You will be required to contact the customer support team via support@natural8in.com. You will then be given a minimum 24-hour cooling off period before Your account is active. Whilst the 24-hour cooling off period is in place, You will be given the option to cancel the reactivation.

We also wish to draw Your attention to the existence of software preventing an individual computer from accessing gaming websites or services, such as www.cyberpatrol.com or www.gamblock.com. If You require any further information or assistance regarding our functionality, please contact support@natural8in.com.
