Responsible Gaming: Protecting the Pack

At the Oaklands Wolves Alumni Guide, we believe that entertainment should never come at the cost of your well-being. As a community of graduates, we value strategy, discipline, and self-control. Betting should always be a calculated form of leisure, not a necessity or a way to solve financial problems.

Signs of Problem Gambling

It is important to be honest with yourself. Ask yourself the following questions:

• Do you find yourself betting more than you can afford to lose?
• Has gambling caused you stress, anxiety, or arguments with loved ones?
• Do you hide your betting habits from your friends or family?
• Have you ever borrowed money or sold assets to fund your casino account?
• Do you feel a "need" to win back money you’ve lost immediately?

Safe Play Strategies

Even when playing at non-GamStop casinos, you can still maintain control using these alumni-approved tactics:

1. Set a Bankroll: Decide on a fixed amount of money for the month and stick to it.
2. Time Management: Set an alarm. When the time is up, log off regardless of whether you are winning or losing.
3. No Alcohol: Never play under the influence of substances that impair your judgment.
4. Understand the Odds: Remember that the house always has an edge. View the cost of playing as the price of an evening's entertainment.

Self-Exclusion Tools

While the sites we review are not part of the UK's GamStop scheme, almost all reputable international casinos provide their own internal self-exclusion tools. You can contact their support teams to:

• Set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits.
• Request a "Time-Out" for 24 hours to 6 weeks.
• Permanent account closure (Self-Exclusion).
