Play responsibly at Sparta Spins

Our advice for safer play

• Decide before each session how much you will deposit and how long you will play.
• Use only money you can comfortably lose, never money set aside for rent or bills.
• Accept losses as the cost of entertainment instead of trying to win them back.
• Step away from the screen regularly, even when things are going well.
• Avoid playing when you feel stressed, low, tired or have been drinking.
• Stick to a single account so your spending stays easy to follow.

Setting your own limits

Before you start, choose a weekly amount you are happy to spend and treat it as the price of your entertainment. When it is gone, stop until the next week. Do the same with time: set an alarm on your phone and end the session when it rings. Simple rules like these are the most effective way to keep gambling enjoyable. Write your limits down if it helps, and review them every few weeks to check they still fit your situation and your budget.

Self-exclusion

When you want a real break, you can close access to your account for anything from six months up to five years. Send an email to customer support stating the period you want; the exclusion is applied within a day of us receiving your message. For the whole period your account stays blocked.

Choose a period long enough to make a difference. It is better to pick a longer break and feel the benefit than to come back before you are ready.

Gambling and your wellbeing

Gambling affects mood. A win can feel exciting and tempt you to keep going; a loss can make you want to play on to put things right. Both reactions are normal, and both are reasons to pause. Balance your time online with other activities, sleep and time with friends and family. If gambling starts to take up more space in your life than you want it to, act early: it is much easier to change habits at the first signs than later.

Bonuses and cashback

Promotions such as our weekly cashback are meant to add to your enjoyment, not to encourage extra deposits. The cashback returns part of last week's net losses; it should never be a reason to play more than planned or to chase a better result.

Warning signs

• You often play longer, or spend more, than you meant to.
• You borrow money or dip into funds meant for everyday costs.
• You feel restless or irritable when you are not playing.
• You keep your gambling hidden from the people close to you.
• You raise your stakes to recover what you have lost.

Recognising one or more of these signs is a reason to pause. Talk to someone you trust, consider self-exclusion and reach out to the specialists listed below. Asking for help early is a sign of strength, not weakness.

Where to get help

Gambling Therapy provides free and confidential online support for players and their families. Its website includes a short self-assessment that helps you judge whether gambling has started to cause problems, together with practical advice.

Supporting someone else

If you are worried about a friend or relative, talk to them calmly, without judgement, and listen to how they feel. Encourage them to set limits or take a break, and point them to the help available. Support services such as Gambling Therapy also offer guidance for family members.

Protecting minors

Sparta Spins is strictly for adults. Accounts opened by minors are suspended and investigated, and winnings are not paid out. If children share your computer or phone, keep your login details private, log out after every session and consider filtering software that blocks gambling websites.
