Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can affect anyone. It is important to recognise the warning signs early. You may have a gambling problem if you:
- Spend more money or time gambling than you can afford
- Find it difficult to stop or cut back on gambling
- Gamble to escape stress, anxiety, or depression
- Chase losses by placing larger bets
- Lie to friends or family about your gambling habits
- Neglect work, family, or personal responsibilities due to gambling
- Borrow money or sell possessions to fund gambling
- Feel irritable or restless when not gambling
If any of these signs apply to you, we encourage you to use the tools available on our platform and to seek professional help.

Responsible Gambling Tools at Casino Brango
We provide a range of tools to help you stay in control of your gambling. You can access these tools at any time through your account settings or by contacting our support team.
Deposit Limits
You can set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits to control how much money you add to your account. Limits take effect immediately when reduced and require a cooling-off period of 7 days before they can be increased.
Loss Limits
Set a maximum amount you are willing to lose over a defined period. Once your loss limit is reached, you will be unable to place further bets until the period resets.
Session Time Limits
You can set a maximum session duration to control how long you play in a single sitting. You will receive a notification when your session limit is approaching.
Reality Check
Enable regular pop-up reminders that show how long you have been playing and how much you have wagered during your session. This helps you stay aware of your gambling activity in real time.
Cool-Off Period
If you feel you need a short break from gambling, you can request a cool-off period of 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During this time, you will not be able to log in or place bets. This option is available immediately upon request.
Self-Exclusion
If you feel that you need a longer break or wish to stop gambling altogether, you can request a self-exclusion for a period of 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, or permanently. During self-exclusion:
- Your account will be suspended immediately
- You will not receive any promotional emails or bonus offers
- You will not be able to create a new account
To request self-exclusion, please contact our support team directly:
- Email: [email protected]
- Live Chat: Available 24/7 on our website
Self-exclusion requests are processed within 24 hours. We strongly advise players who self-exclude to also register with national self-exclusion schemes and blocking software.
