Responsible Gambling
Introduction
Gravira supports online gaming as a form of entertainment intended for adults. For most players, gambling remains enjoyable and manageable. However, for some individuals, it can become excessive and lead to financial, emotional, or behavioral problems.
This policy explains how to recognize harmful gambling patterns, how to stay in control, and what options are available if gambling begins to affect your wellbeing. If you believe your gaming activity is no longer healthy, you should consider using Gravira’s self-exclusion tools and taking a break.
Understanding Problem Gambling
What Problem Gambling Means
Problem gambling occurs when a person loses control over their gambling behavior and it starts causing harm to themselves or to others around them.
Signs That Gambling May Be Harmful
Common Warning Signals
Gambling may be becoming a problem when it begins to affect your daily routine, health, finances, relationships, or peace of mind.
Possible signs include:
- Spending more time or money than planned
- Conflicts with family or friends caused by gambling
- Trying to recover losses immediately by gambling again
- Feelings of guilt, regret, or shame after playing
- Borrowing money or selling possessions to continue gambling
- Skipping work or personal responsibilities to gamble
- Concealing the extent of your gambling activity
Self-Assessment
If you notice one or more of these signs, it may be useful to complete a self-assessment and consider seeking support.
How to Keep Gambling Under Control
Keep It Entertaining
Gambling should remain enjoyable. If it no longer feels fun, it may be time to stop.
Set a Spending Limit
Before you begin, decide how much money you can comfortably afford to lose. Only gamble with funds set aside for leisure, never with money needed for essential expenses.
Treat Gambling as a Leisure Cost
Think of gambling as paid entertainment, not as a way to make money. Any winnings should be seen as a possible bonus, not as expected income.
Set Time Boundaries
Decide in advance how long you will play. Gambling should not replace your work, family life, or other interests.
Accept Losses and Move On
If you have reached your limit, stop playing. Chasing losses often leads to greater financial and emotional pressure.
Play Only When Clear-Minded
Do not gamble when you are stressed, upset, depressed, or under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or medication that may affect judgment.
Take Frequent Breaks
Long sessions can make it harder to monitor your spending and time. Regular breaks help you stay aware and in control.
Maintain a Balanced Lifestyle
Spend time with friends, family, and non-gambling activities. A balanced routine helps reduce the risk of unhealthy habits.
Protection of Minors
Minimum Age Requirement
To register and play on Gravira, you must be at least 18 years old, or older if the law in your jurisdiction requires a higher legal age. Gravira does not allow underage gambling and applies verification measures to help prevent access by minors.
Keeping Children Away From Gambling Content
Practical Safety Steps
Players are encouraged to take reasonable precautions to ensure that minors cannot access gambling-related services or account information.
These precautions include:
- Not leaving devices unattended while logged in
- Keeping account passwords secure
- Avoiding saved passwords on shared devices
- Storing payment cards and account details out of children’s reach
- Using parental controls or content-filtering tools when appropriate
Self-Exclusion
When to Consider Self-Exclusion
If you feel that gambling is taking too much of your time or money, or if you believe you may be developing a gambling problem, self-exclusion may be an appropriate step.
Self-exclusion allows you to block access to certain parts of the platform or to the entire website for a selected period of time, including permanently.
How the Self-Exclusion Process Works
Accessing the Tool
To start self-exclusion, log in to your Gravira account and go to the Responsible Gaming section.
Step One: 24-Hour Cooldown
The first stage is a mandatory 24-hour cooldown. This can be applied to Casino, Sportsbook, or both. Before the restriction is activated, you will be asked to verify your password.
At this step, you can choose which section of the platform you want restricted and define the period of restriction.
Step Two: Full Self-Exclusion
After the cooldown stage is completed, the full self-exclusion option becomes available. You will again confirm your password before the next window opens.
At this stage, you may choose:
- Restriction from Casino only
- Restriction from Sportsbook only
- Restriction from the full platform
- A fixed exclusion period
- Permanent exclusion
A summary of your chosen restriction will be shown before the process is finalized.
What Happens During Exclusion
During the 24-Hour Cooldown
While the cooldown is active, you will not be able to place bets or wagers in the restricted area. However, you may still be able to access certain existing rewards, bonuses, or promotional benefits linked to your account.
If You Exclude One Section
If you exclude yourself only from Casino or Sportsbook, you will lose access only to that section while other parts of the platform remain available. Existing eligible rewards connected to accessible areas may still be claimed.
If You Exclude the Entire Platform
If you exclude yourself from all of Gravira, you will not be able to access your account during the exclusion period. You may also lose access to website progress, rewards, bonuses, and promotional features.
If you choose permanent self-exclusion, your account will remain closed indefinitely, and you will not be allowed to create new accounts on the platform.
If You Do Not Confirm the Final Step
If you begin the process but do not complete the final confirmation, the self-exclusion will not be fully applied. In that case, the temporary cooldown will end automatically once its period expires.
Duration of Self-Exclusion
Available Exclusion Periods
You may choose a self-exclusion period of up to five years or request a permanent exclusion.
No Early Reversal
Once self-exclusion has been confirmed, it will remain active for the full selected period. It cannot be canceled or shortened before it ends, as this safeguard is intended to protect the player.
