What is responsible gaming?
Responsible gaming is a mindset that keeps play enjoyable and entertaining instead of letting it become a source of harm. It means staying aware of your gaming habits, knowing your limits, and keeping full control over your choices. At 55JL, we provide tools and resources that help adults aged 21 and above play more responsibly. Responsible gaming is not only about preventing problems; it is also about building a positive and healthy experience that does not disturb the other parts of your life.
Core Principles of Responsible Gaming
- Treat gaming as pure entertainment, never as a way to earn money.
- Only wager money that you can afford to lose.
- Set clear limits on the time and money you spend on gaming.
- Avoid betting when you have been drinking or when you are feeling emotionally stressed.
- Do not chase losses or try to force a recovery of money you have already lost.
- Take regular breaks and make time for other activities outside gaming.
- Talk openly with family or friends about your gaming activity.

Excessive Time Use
Spending much more time gaming than you originally planned.

Secrecy
Hiding your gaming activity or lying about how much you play.
Chasing Losses
Placing more bets in an attempt to recover money you have already lost.

Our Responsible Gaming Tools
Self-Exclusion
Self-exclusion lets you block yourself from 55JL for a set period. During that time, you cannot log in, deposit, or place bets. You can choose 6 months, 1 year, or permanent exclusion. Think this through carefully, because the exclusion cannot be lifted before the chosen period ends.
Deposit Limit
You can set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits in your account settings. This helps you keep your budget under control and avoid spending more than planned. Requests to raise a limit may take up to 24 hours to take effect, but lowering a limit is applied right away.
Session Time Limit
Set a time limit for your playing session. When the time you set is up, you will get a reminder and the session will end automatically. This helps you track how long you have been playing and avoid excessive gaming.
Loss Limit
Set a maximum loss amount that you are willing to accept for a certain period. Once you reach that limit, you will not be able to place more bets for the rest of that period. This helps protect you from large financial losses.
Time-out
If you need a short break, you can take a time-out for 24 hours, 48 hours, or one week. Your account will be temporarily suspended during this period, and you will not be able to take part in any gaming activity.
Reality check
Get reminders at regular intervals about how long you have been playing and how much you have spent. This keeps you aware of your gaming activity and helps you make more informed decisions.
How to Play Responsibly
For players aged 21 and above, responsible gaming becomes easier when you follow a few key habits. Here are some practical tips to help you keep your play balanced and enjoyable.
Budget Planning
- Set a fixed budget for your gaming each month.
- Only use disposable income, never money for essential expenses like bills, rent, or food.
- Never place a bet using borrowed money or your credit card.
- Stop playing as soon as your set budget runs out.
Time management
- Set a specific schedule for your gaming sessions.
- Take regular breaks every 30 to 60 minutes.
- Do not let gaming become the only activity in your life.
- Make room for family, friends, and other hobbies.
Mental health
- Avoid betting when you are stressed or feeling down.
- Do not use gaming as an escape from personal problems.
- If you feel angry or frustrated after a loss, step away and take a break.
- Reach out to a professional mental health provider when you need support.
Check in with yourself
Ask yourself about your gaming habits: Am I playing within my limits? Is gaming affecting other parts of my life? Am I still in control? Honest answers can help you evaluate your behavior.
