Responsible Gambling Policy
GENERAL
At Wild.io, we have developed an entertainment platform that maximizes enjoyment and rewards while also encouraging responsible behavior. While we strive to offer a fun experience, we also urge our players to gamble within their means.
Gambling is a source of leisure and entertainment for most individuals, but it can have adverse effects on some. To address this issue, we have created a policy that outlines our commitment to responsible gambling and reducing the harm that may be experienced by vulnerable consumers who are at risk of developing gambling problems.
RESPONSIBLE GAMBLING
The idea of "Responsible Gambling" encompasses a wide range of practices that seek to promote safe and healthy gambling habits, with the goal of minimizing the potential harm that can arise from problem gambling. While individuals are ultimately responsible for their own actions, service providers also have a responsibility to ensure that their gambling services are provided in a way that prioritizes consumer safety and well-being.
There are a few easy steps to take to ensure your gambling habits are responsible:
- The purpose of gambling is to provide an enjoyable and entertaining experience, not a means of making money. It should never be viewed as a solution to financial problems.
- To ensure responsible gambling, it is important to set a budget and adhere to it. Keep track of your spending and only gamble with the predetermined amount. Avoid chasing losses or using funds designated for other areas of your budget.
- Additionally, ensure that you only gamble during your allotted leisure time and do not let it interfere with your daily routine. Monitor the amount of time you spend gambling to prevent it from becoming a problematic behavior.
PROBLEM GAMBLING
When an individual loses their ability to regulate their gambling behavior, specifically the frequency and amount of money spent on gambling, it is considered the start of problem gambling. Early detection of gambling issues can be done by honestly answering the following questions:
- Did you lose time gambling?
- Has gambling affected your home life negatively?
- Has your reputation been damaged from gambling?
- Have you ever felt remorse after gambling?
- Do you ever gamble to solve financial difficulties?
- Has gambling caused a decrease in your ambition or efficiency?
- Have you gambled, or carried on gambling, to win back your losses?
- After a win, do you have an urge to return and win more?
- Do you often gamble until your last money is gone?
- Do you ever borrow to finance your gambling?
- Have you ever sold anything to finance gambling?
- Are you reluctant to use "gambling money" for normal expenditures?
- Does gambling make you careless with the welfare of yourself or your family?
- Do you ever gamble longer than you had planned?
- Have you ever gambled to escape worries?
- Have you ever committed, or considered committing, an illegal act to finance gambling?
- Does gambling cause you to have difficulty sleeping?
- Do you get the urge to gamble when you are emotionally upset?
- Did you get the urge to gamble to celebrate any good fortune in your life?
- Have you ever contemplated self-harm or suicide as a result of your gambling?
Answering “yes” to 7 or more of the questions above can be a solid indicator of problem gambling, as per Gamblers Anonymous.

RESPONSIBLE GAMBLING POLICY AT WILD.IO
To assist players in gambling responsibly, Wild.io offers gambling limits that players can set on their account to control the duration of the sessions or the money they can afford to use on the site.
You can set limits on the amount you deposit, lose, wager, spend in one game, or on your account activity on the whole. This functionality can be accessed within your account in the “Personal Limits” section. Limits can be amended at any time. A decrease in the limit will take effect immediately, however an increase may only occur after email confirmation and only after the previous limit of the same type expires, in order to avoid rash decisions. If you require further information or assistance regarding Personal Limits, please contact our support team at support@wild.io
- Loss Limit. A limit on your losses in the casino for a day, a week, or a month. Please note the loss is based on the initial deposit and not winnings attributed to the deposited amount. If for example you deposit 50 mBTC, put a Loss Limit of 10 mBTC and then go on to win 100 mBTC, you can still lose more than 10 mBTC of the 100 mBTC balance as it is based on the initial deposit instead of the winnings.
