Core principles
Keep wellbeing ahead of gambling
Gambling can affect finances, mood and relationships. You can ask for support before difficulties become severe.
Protect essentials
Keep rent, food, bills and savings separate from any money set aside for gambling.
Talk to someone
A trusted person or support service can help you pause, reflect and decide what to do next.
Important risks
Understand the risks before playing
- Gambling outcomes are unpredictable and should never be treated as income.
- Trying to recover losses can lead to further spending and greater pressure.
- Loans, secrecy and using essential money are strong reasons to stop and seek help.
- Promotions and free spins can have conditions, and gambling still involves a risk of loss.
For Swiss information about gambling regulation and Spielsperre, consult ESBK information.
Spending controls
Scored deposit limits and protecting essentials
Decide your boundary first
Check the deposit and loss controls shown in your Scored Casino account. Treat a limit as a ceiling, not a target, and review the current terms before depositing.
- Keep essential money safe and never borrow to gamble.
- Check when a change to a limit takes effect.
- Confirm whether the control covers deposits, losses or another measure.
- If limits are difficult to follow, take a break and contact independent support.
Taking time out
Time limits and meaningful breaks
- Step 1
Choose when to stop
Set an end time before playing and use a separate alarm to remind you.
- Step 2
Make the break real
Close Scored Casino, silence gambling notifications and move to another activity.
- Step 3
Notice the effects
Pay attention to sleep, work, relationships and how often gambling occupies your thoughts.
- Step 4
Ask for support
If stopping feels difficult or sessions overrun, speak with a support service.
Restricting access
Scored self exclusion and ways to block gambling
Self-exclusion creates a barrier between you and a gambling service. Check precisely what each measure covers and how it operates.
01Requesting Scored self exclusion
Ask Scored Casino support about account closure or self-exclusion, including duration, affected accounts and reopening rules.
02Swiss Spielsperre
ESBK (Eidgenössische Spielbankenkommission) provides information about Spielsperre in Switzerland. Confirm the scope of the measure before relying on it.
03Device and payment barriers
Ask your device or payment provider what blocking tools are available and what they prevent.
Learn more from ESBK for information about Swiss Spielsperre and its scope.
Warning signs
Signs that gambling may be becoming harmful
01
Trying to win it back
Continuing after losses, increasing stakes or feeling compelled to recover money are warning signs.
02
Money pressure
Borrowing, unpaid bills or mixing essential funds with gambling money can signal harm.
03
Impact on everyday life
Poor sleep, secrecy, arguments or putting gambling before work and relationships deserve attention.
If any of these signs feel familiar, seek support; this page cannot diagnose your situation. SOS Spielsucht offers information and support for deciding what to do next.

How Scored Casino supports safer gambling
Scored Casino responsible gambling starts with treating online play as entertainment, not as a way to earn money. Gambling involves financial risk, losses can happen quickly and you should only use money you can afford to lose.
Players in Switzerland must be 18 or older. Before registering or playing, check the current Scored Casino account, payment and responsible-gambling terms on the official site.
Scored responsible gambling: set boundaries
Scored responsible gambling is easier when you decide spending and playing time before a session. Set a personal CHF budget, keep it apart from household essentials and stop when it is used. Never borrow or rely on expected winnings.
Review the Scored Casino cashier and account settings for deposit limits, loss controls, wagering limits or session reminders. Availability and operation can vary, so confirm the current details with Scored Casino support before depositing.
- Set a maximum CHF amount before you begin.
- Choose a playing-time boundary and take breaks away from the screen.
- Keep gambling separate from rent, food, savings and bills.
- Do not raise a limit after a loss or during an emotional session.
- Check bank and account activity regularly to keep spending visible.
Scored deposit limits and taking breaks
Scored deposit limits may help reduce impulsive spending, but they work best when realistic and respected. Avoid changing a limit simply to continue playing. If a cooling-off period or temporary break is available, consider using it after a stressful session.
A break should include removing easy access to gambling and choosing another activity. Do not open another account or move to another service to bypass a restriction. Ask Scored Casino support about current break options, waiting periods and limit-change procedures.
Scored self exclusion and Swiss Spielsperre
Scored self exclusion is a stronger choice when you want to stop rather than reduce gambling. Contact Scored Casino support and ask what happens to your account, pending transactions and personal data. Keep a record of your request and do not create another account to bypass it.
For information about formal Spielsperre in Switzerland, contact ESBK (Eidgenössische Spielbankenkommission). A Scored self-exclusion request and an ESBK Spielsperre may be different measures, so confirm their scope.
Recognising risk and finding Swiss support
Take concern seriously if gambling takes more time, causes arguments, affects work or sleep, involves secret spending or creates pressure to recover losses. Repeatedly exceeding a CHF budget, borrowing or feeling unable to stop are also warning signs.
Free, confidential support is available through SOS Spielsucht and Sucht Schweiz. They can help with reducing or stopping gambling and provide information for relatives. Seek urgent professional help if gambling creates immediate financial or emotional danger.
For questions about account information or exclusion requests, read the Scored Casino privacy notice and the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (revDSG / nDSG). EDÖB is Switzerland’s data protection regulator. Stopping completely is the safest option when gambling is no longer affordable or enjoyable.
