Responsible Gaming at 500 Casino

At 500 Casino, operated by Perfect Storm B.V., we are committed to promoting responsible gaming as a core part of our customer care and social responsibility policy. We believe it is our duty to ensure that your experience on our platform is enjoyable and safe, while also being mindful of the potential social and financial impacts of problem gambling.

Maintaining Control

Gambling should be viewed primarily as a form of entertainment rather than a way to earn income. While most players gamble responsibly within their means, we understand that for some, maintaining control can be more challenging. To help you keep your gambling habits in check, we recommend the following guidelines:

  • Consider gambling as a recreational activity and not a reliable source of income.
  • Avoid chasing losses or increasing your bets to recover previous losses; remember, there is always another day to play.
  • Only wager amounts that you can afford to lose without affecting your financial stability.
  • Be aware of the time and money you spend gambling.

If you feel the need to take a break from gambling, you can activate self-exclusion directly from your profile settings on 500 Casino. Should you require assistance with this process or have any other requests, our support team is available to help you.

Recognising a Problem

If you are worried that gambling may be negatively affecting your life or the life of someone close to you, the following questions may help you assess the situation:

  • Is gambling causing you to miss work or educational commitments?
  • Do you gamble to entertain yourself or to avoid boredom?
  • Do you gamble alone for long periods?
  • Have others expressed concern about your gambling habits?
  • Have you lost interest in family, friends, or hobbies because of gambling?
  • Have you ever lied about the amount of time or money you spend gambling?
  • Have you lied, stolen, or borrowed money to continue gambling?
  • Do you find it difficult to spend money allocated for gambling on other things?
  • Do you gamble until you run out of money?
  • Do you feel compelled to recover losses as quickly as possible?
  • Do you feel lost or despair if you run out of money while gambling, and feel the urge to gamble again immediately?
  • Do you gamble after experiencing arguments, disappointments, or frustrations?
  • Does gambling cause you to have depressive or suicidal thoughts?

The more questions you answer “yes” to, the greater the likelihood that gambling is causing you problems. If this is the case, we encourage you to seek help from professional organisations listed below.
