At Skratchy.app, we are committed to promoting responsible gaming and player protection. We believe that online gaming should be enjoyable and entertaining, but never at the expense of your financial well-being or mental health. This page provides essential information about responsible gaming practices and resources available to support you.
Responsible gaming refers to a set of practices and policies designed to protect players from the potential harms of gambling. It encompasses setting limits on time and money spent, understanding the odds of games, and recognizing when gaming habits may become problematic.
Responsible gaming is a shared responsibility between players, casinos, and regulatory bodies. At Skratchy.app, we implement strict measures to ensure that our platform remains a safe and fair environment for all users.
It's important to recognize when gambling may be becoming a problem. If you or someone you know exhibits any of the following warning signs, consider reaching out for help:
Self-exclusion is a powerful tool that allows you to voluntarily restrict your access to gaming platforms. At Skratchy.app, we offer self-exclusion options that enable you to take a break from gaming whenever you feel it's necessary.
When you activate self-exclusion, you will be unable to access your account or place any bets for the period you specify. This can range from days to months or even years. Self-exclusion is confidential and can be activated at any time through your account settings.
Setting deposit limits is an effective way to manage your gambling budget. Skratchy.app allows you to establish daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits on your account.
Once a deposit limit is set, you will not be able to deposit more than the specified amount during the chosen period. These limits help you maintain control over your spending and prevent overspending. You can adjust or modify your deposit limits at any time, though changes may take effect after a cooling-off period.
If you or someone you know is struggling with problem gambling, professional help is available. The following organizations offer confidential support and resources:
GamCare provides free, confidential support for problem gamblers and their families. Access their services online or call their helpline.
BeGambleAware offers information and advice on responsible gambling, problem gambling support, and access to treatment options.
Gamblers Anonymous is a fellowship of men and women who meet to share their experiences and help each other overcome gambling problems.
Skratchy.app is strictly for individuals aged 18 years and older. We do not permit anyone under the age of 18 to create an account, access our platform, or participate in any gaming activities.
We implement robust age verification procedures to ensure compliance with this policy. Accounts found to violate this requirement will be immediately closed, and any associated funds may be forfeited.
If you believe a minor has accessed Skratchy.app, please report it to our support team immediately.
