Responsible Gaming


Safe and Balanced Gambling Habits

At RuneStake (RuneScape gambling), we encourage our players to maintain a safe and balanced approach to gaming. This means setting limits for yourself, being mindful of your bankroll, and not using gambling as a source of income.

Gaming is meant to be enjoyable entertainment, but it's essential to remember that there are no guarantees of winning or consistent success. We advise all our players to adopt responsible habits to ensure their well-being while enjoying gaming.

Budget and Bankroll Management

To avoid any potential issues with your gambling activity, we suggest the following:

  • Set a budget for yourself before starting to play.
  • Stick to it by avoiding overspending on gaming activities.
  • Review your bankroll regularly to adjust your playing limits accordingly.

By implementing these guidelines into your gaming routine, you'll be able to enjoy gaming while minimizing potential risks.

Deposit, Loss, Wager, and Session Limits

We offer a variety of tools designed to help our players maintain responsible habits:

  • Deposit Limits: You can set daily or monthly deposit limits in your account settings. These limits are automatically enforced by the system.
  • Loss Limits: If you experience consecutive losses, our platform will send reality checks via email and SMS to remind you of your current situation.
  • Wager Limit: We advise setting a wager limit for yourself based on your bankroll size. This can be adjusted in the account settings.
  • Session Time-Outs: You have access to session time-outs that allow breaks from gaming after specific intervals (15 minutes, 1 hour, or 4 hours).

Please note that while these features are available, it's crucial for you to understand and implement responsible gambling practices.

Reality Checks and Time Reminders

Our reality checks serve as an essential reminder of the risks associated with excessive gaming. If your account meets certain criteria (such as consecutive losses), we'll send reminders via email or SMS:

  • You will be informed about any ongoing losses.
  • We recommend adjusting your wager limits accordingly to prevent overexposure.

Don't hesitate to adjust these settings based on your needs and experience.

Cooling-Off Periods and Self-Exclusion Tools

We provide our players with flexibility when it comes to managing their gaming activity. Consider using:

  • 24-hour cooling-off period: For a specified time, you will be unable to log in or access the platform.
  • 7-day cooling-off period: Extend your break from gaming for an additional week.

You also have access to permanent self-exclusion tools that can restrict access to our platform completely.

Account Verification and Age Restrictions

As part of our efforts to protect players, we require:

  • Age verification: You must provide proof of age (18+ for most countries) before accessing your account.
  • Account validation: Periodic checks are conducted on registered accounts to verify the information provided at sign-up.

By implementing these security measures, you'll be able to enjoy gaming with confidence while maintaining a safe and secure environment.

Protection of Vulnerable Players

We consider it essential to identify vulnerable players who might require additional support or guidance. Our team works closely with external partners:

  • Specialised self-exclusion programs: Integrated partnerships for enhanced player protection.
  • Direct access to support resources: Dedicated links are provided within the platform for seeking help.

  • Auto-start/stop function: Allow you to pause the game after a set number of losses.
  • Loss limit triggers: These settings can inform our system when it's time to remind you about reality checks and other protection tools.

Always review and adjust these configurations according to your experience with each gaming type.

Mobile Gambling Awareness

  • Be aware of the risks associated with excessive gaming on a small screen.
  • Maintain control over settings such as auto-play options or volume controls.
  • Regularly check account limits and reality checks on mobile platforms to avoid unexpected surprises.

Stay informed about our responsible gaming features for mobile access.
