Responsible Gaming
Gambling should be an enjoyable form of entertainment, not a source of financial stress or personal harm. At Struts Palontique, we take responsible gambling seriously and encourage all players to set limits, recognize warning signs, and seek help when needed.
Set Your Limits Before You Play
- Budget: Decide how much you can afford to lose before you start. Never gamble with money you need for rent, bills, or other essential expenses.
- Time: Set a time limit for each session. Many online casinos offer session timers and reality check features — use them.
- Losses: Set a loss limit and stop when you reach it. Chasing losses is the most common path to problem gambling.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
- Spending more time or money on gambling than you intended
- Borrowing money or selling possessions to fund gambling
- Neglecting work, relationships, or personal responsibilities due to gambling
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when trying to cut back
- Lying to family or friends about how much you gamble
- Gambling to escape problems or relieve negative emotions

Self-Exclusion Programs
Most offshore casinos on our recommended list offer self-exclusion tools that allow you to temporarily or permanently close your account. Contact the casino's customer support to request self-exclusion. Many US states also operate state-level self-exclusion programs for regulated gambling platforms.
Age Verification
Online gambling is restricted to individuals aged 18 and older (21+ in some US states with regulated markets). Never allow minors to access gambling websites. All casinos reviewed on this site require age verification during the account registration process.
Our Commitment
We review and recommend only casinos that implement responsible gambling tools including deposit limits, session timers, self-exclusion options, and reality check features. Casinos that lack these player protection measures are excluded from our recommendations regardless of other merits.
