Responsible Gambling Tools at Yebo Casino
Yebo Casino website provides several player protection tools accessible through your account settings. I recommend setting these up before you start playing — not when you feel you have a problem.
Deposit Limits
Set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits. Once set, they take effect immediately and can only be increased after a 7-day cooling-off period.
Session Limits
Limit how long you can play in a single session. The casino will log you out automatically when the time is reached.
Self-Exclusion
Request to be excluded from Yebo Casino for a period of your choice (30 days to 5 years). Contact support to activate this immediately.
Cooling-Off Period
Take a break from playing. During a cooling-off period, you cannot make deposits or access gambling features.
Signs of Problem Gambling
In my years of reviewing casinos, I've seen how gambling can shift from entertainment to harm. Here are warning signs to watch for:
- Chasing losses — betting more to recover what you've lost
- Gambling with money set aside for bills, rent, or food
- Lying to family or friends about how much you gamble
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or depressed when not gambling
- Being unable to stop even when you want to
- Borrowing money specifically to gamble
If any of these apply to you, please reach out to the NRGP helpline: 0800 006 008 (free, 24/7, confidential).
Ajay's Personal Rules for Safe Play
Set a Hard Budget Before You Start
Decide how much you're willing to spend before opening the casino. This amount should be entirely disposable — money you can afford to lose completely.
Never Chase Losses
This is the single most dangerous gambling behaviour. When I've lost my session budget, I close the casino. No exceptions.
Take Regular Breaks
I set a timer for every session — 45 minutes of play, 15 minutes break. This maintains perspective and prevents impulsive decisions.
Treat It as Entertainment, Not Income
Gambling is entertainment. The house always has an edge over the long term. Any money I win is a bonus, not an expectation.
