Responsible Gaming

Effective date: 26.01.2026

This Responsible Gaming page on the website ornifolks.org describes the principles and measures used by Slotbox to promote safe, balanced, and transparent play. Our goal is to ensure that gaming remains a form of entertainment without causing harm to your personal, family, or financial wellbeing.

1. Commitment to Responsible Gaming

Slotbox is committed to providing a safe and responsible gaming environment for all our players in Ireland. We recognise that whilst gaming can be an enjoyable leisure activity, it must be approached with awareness and self-control. We are dedicated to implementing measures that protect our customers and promote healthy gaming habits. Our commitment extends to providing transparent information, effective tools, and ongoing support to ensure that every player can enjoy our services responsibly.

2. Gambling as Entertainment

Gambling should always be viewed as a form of entertainment, not as a way to make money or solve financial problems. It is important to maintain a balanced perspective and approach gaming with the right mindset. To help you keep gaming enjoyable and within safe limits, we recommend the following practical tips:

Set a budget before you start playing and never exceed it
Only gamble with money you can afford to lose
Never chase losses or try to win back money you have lost
Take regular breaks and do not play for extended periods
Avoid gambling when you are upset, stressed, or under the influence of alcohol
Keep track of the time and money you spend on gaming
Balance gambling with other hobbies and social activities

3. Control and Self-Protection Tools

Slotbox provides a range of tools designed to help you maintain control over your gaming activity. These self-protection measures are easy to access and can be adjusted at any time through your account settings. Our control tools include deposit limits, which allow you to set daily, weekly, or monthly maximum amounts you can deposit into your account. You can also set loss limits to restrict the amount you may lose over a specific period. We offer session time reminders to alert you when you have been playing for a certain duration. If you feel you need a break, you can use our cooling-off period feature to temporarily suspend your account for a period ranging from 24 hours to several weeks. For those who require a longer-term solution, we provide self-exclusion options that allow you to block access to your account for a minimum period of six months or permanently. All requests for self-exclusion are processed promptly and with full confidentiality.

4. Signs of Problematic Gambling

It is important to recognise the warning signs that gambling may be becoming a problem rather than a form of entertainment. Early recognition can help you take action before the situation worsens. Please be aware of the following warning signs:

Spending more money or time gambling than you can afford
Gambling interfering with work, education, or family responsibilities
Borrowing money or selling possessions to finance gambling
Lying to friends or family about the extent of your gambling
Feeling restless, irritable, or anxious when trying to cut down on gambling
Gambling to escape problems or relieve feelings of helplessness or anxiety
Repeatedly trying and failing to control or stop gambling
Neglecting personal hygiene, health, or relationships due to gambling

If you recognise any of these signs in yourself or someone you know, it is important to seek help as soon as possible.

5. Protection of Minors

Slotbox strictly prohibits gambling by anyone under the age of 18. Protecting minors from the risks associated with gambling is a fundamental responsibility we take very seriously. We employ robust age verification procedures during the registration process to ensure that only individuals who are 18 years of age or older can create an account and access our services. We encourage parents and guardians to take an active role in protecting children by using parental control software and monitoring internet usage. It is illegal for minors to gamble, and we will take immediate action if we become aware of any underage gambling activity, including closing accounts and forfeiting any balances. We urge all adults to keep their account details secure and never share login credentials with minors.

6. Support and Seeking Help

If you are concerned about your gambling or that of someone close to you, support is available. Seeking help is a sign of strength, and there are organisations throughout Ireland that specialise in providing free, confidential assistance to those affected by problem gambling. We encourage you to reach out to services such as Problem Gambling Ireland, which offers counselling, support groups, and practical guidance. Gamblers Anonymous Ireland also provides peer support through regular meetings. Additionally, you may contact your GP or local mental health services for advice and referrals. Remember, you are not alone, and professional help can make a significant difference in regaining control and rebuilding your wellbeing.

7. Assistance and Contact

Our customer support team at Slotbox is available to assist you with any questions regarding responsible gaming tools, setting limits, or adjusting your account settings. We are here to help you manage your gaming experience in a safe and responsible manner. If you need support or wish to discuss any aspect of responsible gaming, please do not hesitate to contact us.
