Responsible Gaming

At Black Science Fiction, we are committed to promoting safe and responsible gaming practices. Gaming should be enjoyable entertainment, not a source of financial hardship or harm. This page provides essential information to help you gamble responsibly and access support if needed.

What is Responsible Gaming?

Responsible gaming means playing within your means and recognizing that casino games are based on chance. It involves:

• Setting strict limits on time and money spent gambling
• Never gambling with money you cannot afford to lose
• Treating gambling as entertainment, not as a way to make money
• Understanding that casino games have a house edge
• Taking regular breaks from gambling activities
• Keeping gambling separate from essential expenses like rent, utilities, and food

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

If you or someone you know displays any of the following behaviors, help is available:

• Spending more time or money gambling than intended
• Gambling to escape problems, stress, or negative emotions
• Lying about gambling activities to family or friends
• Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money
• Neglecting work, school, or family responsibilities
• Experiencing anxiety or irritability when unable to gamble
• Borrowing money to fund gambling activities
• Using gambling as a primary source of income
• Relationship problems caused by gambling behavior

Self-Exclusion Tools

Most reputable online casinos offer self-exclusion options that allow you to restrict your access to gaming for a set period or permanently. When you self-exclude:

• Your account is closed and you cannot place any bets
• You are prevented from opening new accounts at participating operators
• Your name is added to exclusion registers
• Marketing communications are stopped

Self-exclusion is a powerful tool for taking control of your gambling. Speak with customer support to initiate the process.

Deposit Limits

Setting deposit limits is one of the most effective ways to maintain control. You can establish daily, weekly, or monthly restrictions on the amount of money you deposit into your casino account. These limits:

• Prevent overspending by capping your deposits automatically
• Can be adjusted downward at any time (though cannot usually be increased immediately)
• Apply across multiple gaming sessions
• Help you stick to a budget that fits your financial situation

We recommend setting a deposit limit that aligns with your entertainment budget before you begin playing.

Age Verification – 18+ Only

All online casino gaming is restricted to players aged 18 years and over in Sweden and other regulated markets. Black Science Fiction is committed to preventing underage gambling. We implement rigorous age verification procedures including:

• Identity verification at account registration
• Document checks before withdrawals
• Compliance with all local gambling regulations
