Responsible Gaming
Introduction to Responsible Gaming
At Ashley Shakti, we believe that gambling should be enjoyed purely as entertainment. It is not a way to earn money, solve financial problems, or generate income. Casino games are designed with a mathematical advantage to the house, meaning the odds are always in favour of the casino over time.
We are committed to promoting safe and responsible gaming practices. If you choose to play, please do so within your means and for enjoyment only.
Age Verification
Gambling is only permitted for individuals aged 18 years or older in the United Kingdom, or the legal age in your jurisdiction.
By accessing True Fortune Casino through Ashley Shakti, you confirm that:
- You are at least 18 years of age (or the legal gambling age in your country)
- You are not prohibited by law from gambling in your jurisdiction
- You understand the risks involved in gambling
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually. Please be aware of these warning signs:
- Chasing Losses: Trying to win back money you've lost by gambling more
- Hiding Gambling Activity: Concealing how much time or money you spend gambling
- Increasing Amounts: Needing to gamble with larger amounts to feel the same excitement
- Loss of Control: Unable to stop or cut down on gambling despite wanting to
- Neglecting Responsibilities: Prioritising gambling over work, family, or other obligations
- Financial Problems: Experiencing money troubles related to gambling
- Mood Changes: Becoming irritable, anxious, or depressed when not gambling
- Borrowing to Gamble: Taking loans or using credit to fund gambling activity
- Lying About Gambling: Being dishonest with friends or family about your gambling habits
If you recognise any of these signs in yourself or someone you know, it is important to seek help immediately.
Self-Help Tools & Safeguards
Most online casinos, including True Fortune Casino, offer tools to help you maintain control:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific timeframe (daily, weekly, monthly)
- Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you are willing to lose over a set period
- Reality Checks: Receive regular notifications reminding you how long you've been playing and how much you've spent
- Time-Out/Cool-Off Periods: Take a temporary break from your account (typically 24 hours to several weeks)
- Self-Exclusion: Permanently or temporarily close your account to prevent further gambling
We strongly encourage you to use these tools if you feel your gambling may be getting out of control.
