At Avantgarde Casino, we believe gambling should always be enjoyable entertainment, never a source of financial stress or personal harm. We provide comprehensive tools, information and support to help every member maintain healthy gambling habits.
Commitment
Avantgarde Casino takes a proactive approach to responsible gambling that goes beyond regulatory compliance. Our commitment encompasses four pillars: prevention of underage gambling through strict age verification, protection of vulnerable players through accessible self-limitation tools, promotion of informed decision-making through transparent game rules and odds, and partnership with recognised support organisations.
Every member of our support team is trained to recognise signs of problematic gambling and respond with empathy and practical guidance. We do not pressure, incentivise or encourage players to gamble beyond their means, and all promotional communications include responsible gambling messaging.
Self Assessment
Honest self-assessment is the foundation of healthy gambling habits. Ask yourself regularly: Do I set a budget before playing and stick to it? Do I stop when my session time or budget is exhausted? Do I gamble for entertainment rather than to make money or escape problems? Am I comfortable with the time and money I spend gambling?
If you answer 'no' to any of these questions, or if gambling is causing stress in your relationships, work or finances, consider using our responsible gambling tools or speaking with a professional counsellor. Early recognition and action significantly improve outcomes.
Deposit Limits
Set daily, weekly or monthly deposit limits through your account settings or by contacting support@avantgardecasino.app. Decreases take effect immediately, providing instant protection. Increases require a mandatory 24-hour cooling-off period to prevent impulsive decisions during emotional moments.
Multiple limit types can be active simultaneously — for example, a $50 daily limit and a $200 monthly limit. Whichever is reached first prevents further deposits until the relevant period expires. We recommend setting limits from day one, before you need them.
Loss Limits
Loss limits cap the total amount you can lose within a chosen timeframe. Once reached, you cannot place further wagers until the period resets. Like deposit limits, decreases are immediate and increases require a cooling-off period.
Loss limits provide a second layer of protection independent of deposit limits. Setting both creates a comprehensive safety framework that operates automatically without requiring willpower in the moment.
Session Limits
Session time reminders notify you at intervals you choose — 30 minutes, 1 hour or 2 hours — of how long you have been playing. The notification is informational and does not interrupt gameplay, but provides a valuable checkpoint for reflection.
Without natural cues like daylight changes or closing times, online gambling sessions can extend well beyond intended durations. Time reminders counteract this effect and support conscious time management.
Self Exclusion
Self-exclusion options: 24 hours (automatic expiry), 1 week, 1 month, 6 months, or permanent. During exclusion, you cannot log in, deposit, wager or access any casino features. You are removed from all promotional communications immediately.
Periods longer than 24 hours require contacting support to reactivate after expiry, plus a mandatory 24-hour cooling-off period before access is restored. Permanent self-exclusion cannot be reversed under any circumstances.
Cooling Off
Cooling-off periods provide a shorter break than formal self-exclusion. Request a 24-hour to 7-day cooling-off through live chat or support@avantgardecasino.app. Your account is temporarily restricted without the formal permanence of self-exclusion.
This option is ideal for players who recognise they need a brief pause but are not ready for longer-term exclusion. All limits and settings are preserved during cooling-off periods.
Underage
Avantgarde Casino enforces a strict 18-and-over policy. Age is verified during registration and we may request government-issued photo identification at any point. Accounts belonging to individuals under 18 are immediately closed, deposits returned where possible, and winnings forfeited.
Parents and guardians can protect young people by installing parental control software (Net Nanny, Qustodio, built-in iOS and Android controls) that blocks access to gambling websites. If you believe a minor has accessed a Avantgarde Casino account, contact us immediately at support@avantgardecasino.app.
