Responsible Gaming
Responsible gaming sits at the core of our service. Gambling should be safe, enjoyable, and within your limits. You can set deposit limits, time-outs, reality checks, and self-exclusion on Kaboomslots. These tools help you stay in control and protect your finances while playing responsibly. Help and independent support are available at any time in the UK.
Basic Principles of Responsible Gaming
Gambling always carries the risk of financial loss. Our responsible gambling policy supports clear limits and informed choices. Keep play as entertainment, not a way to make money.
Use these useful tips to protect your wellbeing:
- Set a budget you can afford to lose and stick to it.
- Decide limits on deposits, losses, wagers, and time before you start playing.
- Take regular breaks and use reality check reminders.
- Never chase losses or increase stakes to recover money.
- Avoid betting when tired, upset, or under alcohol or drugs.
- Track your spend and time in your account history.
- Opt out of marketing if it affects your control.
- You must be 18+ to gamble in the UK.
Kaboomslots provides account tools to help you stay in control, including deposit limits, time-outs, session limits, and self-exclusion through GAMSTOP.

- Missing work, study, or family commitments.
- Mood swings, anxiety, or irritability related to gambling.
