Responsible Gaming
Our Commitment to Safe Gaming
At 1citysquare.com, we are committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. Gambling should be enjoyed as entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Please gamble within your means and only with money you can afford to lose.
Age Verification
We take player protection seriously. All users must be 18 years of age or older (or the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction) to access betting sites and place wagers. It is illegal for anyone under the legal gambling age to participate in gambling activities.
If you are under 18, please do not use any of the betting sites we recommend.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually. Please be aware of these warning signs:
- Gambling with money intended for essential expenses (rent, bills, food)
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- Hiding gambling activities or lying about the amount of time and money spent
- Neglecting family, friends, work, or studies due to gambling
- Borrowing money to gamble or pay gambling debts
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or depressed when unable to gamble
- Constantly thinking about gambling or past gambling sessions
- Gambling to escape problems or negative emotions
- Unsuccessful attempts to reduce or stop gambling
- Gambling more frequently or with larger amounts to achieve the same excitement
If you recognise any of these signs in your own behaviour, please seek help immediately.
Self-Help Tools & Controls
Most reputable betting sites offer tools to help you maintain control over your gambling:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specified time period (daily, weekly, monthly)
- Loss Limits: Set a cap on losses you are willing to accept
- Reality Checks: Enable reminders during gambling sessions to help you stay aware of time and money spent
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from a betting site
- Take a Break: Step away from gambling for a set period
We recommend using these tools as part of your responsible gaming strategy.
