I. INTRODUCTION

Participation in games of chance is increasingly available and popular. As the number of participants increases, so do the number of gambling addicts, and we want to provide all players with information about the possibilities of participating in the game, point out the harmful consequences of addiction, and indicate who they can turn to for professional help.

In accordance with legal regulations, Favbet sportska kladionica undertakes efforts to meet the needs of participants in games of chance and enable them to participate in a safe and legal way, preventing or minimizing the possible harmful consequences of excessive participation in games of chance.

II. PROTECTION OF MINORS

Persons under 18 years of age are not permitted to participate in games of chance. Maximum protection of minors also depends on cooperation with parents and guardians. Please keep all your user information in a safe place (username and password).

We also recommend that you install a filter on your computer. In this way, children and other minors do not have access to the Internet. https://www.betterinternetforkids.eu/ is a website created in cooperation with the European Union that offers extensive information about the Internet filter and contains a free test page.

III. RULES OF RESPONSIBLE PARTICIPATION IN GAMES OF CHANCE

Responsible participation in games of chance means that the main motive for playing is leasure, not the desire for possible profit.

Below are the rules that every participant of the games of chance should adhere to, so please study them carefully:

1. Participating in games of chance is for entertainment only.
2. Clearly determine how much money you are willing to allocate to participate in the game.
3. Consider the money you lose as the price of your entertainment, and every win as a reward.
4. Predefine the time you are planning to spend on games of chance, and when the time is up stop playing.
5. Always be aware of the fact that the odds of winning are lower than the odds of losing.
6. Do not borrow money for playing. Never.
7. Do not allow games of chance to rule your life, and to affect your family life, work, education, etc.
8. Never bet your money due to the fact that you lost in the previous game, to make up for your total loss.
9. Be informed about the signs and consequences of excessive participation in games of chance so that you know how to stop and/or seek help in time.
