Responsible Gaming
Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming
At Lastomia Social Casino, we are committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. While our platform offers entertainment through social casino games without real money gambling, we recognize the importance of maintaining a healthy relationship with gaming activities.
We encourage all our players to enjoy our games as a form of entertainment and to maintain control over their gaming experience. Our responsible gaming policy is designed to help ensure that your experience remains positive and enjoyable.
Understanding Social Casino Gaming
It's important to understand that Lastomia Social Casino is a platform for entertainment purposes only. Our games use virtual currency that has no real-world value and cannot be exchanged for cash or prizes.
Key points about our social casino platform:
- No real money gambling is involved
- Virtual credits cannot be converted to cash
- All winnings are virtual and have no monetary value
- Players must be 18 years or older to use our services
Setting Healthy Limits
Even with social gaming, it's important to maintain healthy habits. We recommend the following practices:
- Set time limits for your gaming sessions
- Take regular breaks during extended play
- Balance gaming with other activities and interests
- Never view gaming as a way to make money
- Monitor your spending on virtual items carefully
Player Protection Tools
We provide several tools to help you manage your gaming experience:
Time Reminders
Optional notifications that alert you after a predetermined amount of gameplay time.
Spending Limits
Set monthly limits on purchases of virtual credits to manage your budget effectively.
Self-Assessment
Periodic prompts to evaluate your gaming habits and patterns.
Account History
Access to detailed records of your gameplay time and virtual credit purchases.
Recognizing Potential Issues
While social gaming is designed for entertainment, it's important to be aware of behaviors that might indicate an unhealthy pattern:
- Spending more time or money than intended
- Neglecting responsibilities or relationships due to gaming
- Using gaming as an escape from problems or negative feelings
- Becoming irritable or anxious when unable to play
- Chasing losses or trying to win back virtual credits
Taking a Break
If you feel your gaming habits are becoming concerning, we offer options to help you take a break:
- Cool-off period: Temporarily suspend your account for 24 hours to 6 weeks
- Self-exclusion: Close your account for a longer period (6 months to 5 years)
- Spending freeze: Temporarily disable the ability to purchase virtual credits
To utilize any of these options, please contact our support team at [email protected].
