Responsible Gaming
Your well-being is our priority. We are committed to promoting responsible gambling and providing a safe gaming environment.
Our Commitment
Royal Crown Casino Hotel is committed to providing a safe and responsible gaming environment. We believe that gaming should be an enjoyable form of entertainment, not a source of problems. We work closely with Norwegian gaming authorities and responsible gambling organizations to ensure the highest standards.
All our staff are trained in responsible gaming practices and are equipped to recognize and respond to signs of problem gambling.
Recognizing Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can affect anyone. Warning signs may include:
- Spending more money or time gambling than you can afford
- Lying to family or friends about gambling activities
- Feeling anxious, depressed, or irritable when not gambling
- Borrowing money or selling possessions to fund gambling
- Neglecting work, family, or personal responsibilities
- Chasing losses with bigger bets
- Unable to stop or control gambling behavior
- Gambling as a way to escape problems or negative emotions
If you recognize any of these signs in yourself or someone you know, help is available.
Tools and Limits
We offer several tools to help you maintain control over your gaming:
Time Limits
Set daily, weekly, or monthly time limits for your gaming sessions. Our staff can help you track your time and provide reminders.
Spending Limits
Establish daily, weekly, or monthly spending limits. These limits help ensure you only gamble with money you can afford to lose.
Self-Exclusion
Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from gaming activities. This can range from 24 hours to permanent exclusion.
Reality Checks
Regular reminders about how long you've been playing and how much you've spent during your session.
