Responsible Gaming

Safe and Balanced Gaming Habits

At OSRS Gambling (Old School RuneScape), we encourage our players to maintain a healthy balance between gaming entertainment and real-life responsibilities. This includes setting realistic expectations about winning and losing, understanding the odds of games, and recognizing when it's time to take a break.

We recommend that you:

Set aside specific times for gaming and stick to them
Balance your gameplay with other hobbies and interests
Prioritize self-care, including exercise, sleep, and social activities

Budgeting and Bankroll Management

To ensure safe and enjoyable gaming experiences, we suggest managing your budget effectively. This involves setting deposit limits, monitoring your expenses, and avoiding chasing losses.

Use our tools to:

Set daily/weekly/monthly deposit limits that suit you
Keep track of your spending using our built-in wallet management features
Practice bankroll management by separating entertainment funds from essential living costs

Deposit, Loss, Wager, and Session Limits

Our platform provides various limit-setting options to help you maintain control over your gaming activities. These include:

Daily/weekly/monthly deposit limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to spend on our site
Loss limits: Establish a daily or weekly loss threshold that triggers self-exclusion tools when reached
Wager limits: Control the minimum and maximum bets for individual games or sessions
Session time limits: Take regular breaks by setting maximum gaming session lengths

Reality Checks and Time Reminders

To avoid overplaying, we offer reality checks and time reminders:

Set up automatic reality checks to alert you of your gameplay duration and expenses
Enable time reminders to guide yourself towards taking scheduled breaks or logging out altogether

Cooling-Off Periods and Self-Exclusion Tools

If needed, take a break with our cooling-off periods or opt for permanent self-exclusion. We offer:

24/7 access to self-exclusion tools via the player account dashboard
Automatic suspension of your account during designated cooling-off periods (7 days to several months)
Option for third-party support services and professional advice

Account Verification and Age Restrictions

For regulatory compliance, age verification is mandatory. We require:

Government-issued ID documents to verify user identity
Account lockout or permanent ban when accessing from restricted countries or underage accounts
Age-gating measures enforced via our systems and third-party audits

Vulnerable Player Protection

We are committed to safeguarding vulnerable players through responsible gaming tools, education, and collaboration with support organizations.

Be aware of the following warning signs:

Losing control over gameplay patterns or increasing expenditure
Spending more than intended on entertainment funds
Using bonuses beyond intended purposes (e.g., for losses)

Follow these guidelines:

Comply with wagering requirements before requesting withdrawals
Only play games that contribute towards fulfilling wagering conditions
Use bonus funds within the given timeframe or risk losing them

Mobile Gaming Awareness

Mobile gaming is convenient but can be intrusive. Be mindful of mobile phone usage, ensure you're not using our services on public transports or while operating heavy machinery.

Managing notifications for responsible gameplay reminders
Utilizing device parental controls to limit your own access
