Responsible Gaming

1. Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming

At Yondarex Casino Hotel, we are committed to promoting responsible gaming practices and providing a safe, enjoyable environment for all our guests. We recognize that while gaming is a form of entertainment for most people, it can become problematic for some individuals.

This Responsible Gaming Policy outlines our approach to ensuring that our guests can enjoy our casino hotel facilities responsibly, and details the measures we have in place to identify and support those who may be experiencing gambling-related issues.

2. Our Responsible Gaming Principles

Our approach to responsible gaming is guided by the following principles:

• Prevention: We work to prevent gambling-related harm through awareness, education, and promoting responsible gaming practices.
• Protection: We protect vulnerable individuals, including minors and those showing signs of problem gambling.
• Support: We provide resources and support for those who may be experiencing gambling-related problems.
• Compliance: We strictly adhere to all applicable laws and regulations related to gaming operations.
• Continuous Improvement: We regularly review and enhance our responsible gaming program based on industry best practices and research.

3. Age Verification

Yondarex Casino Hotel strictly enforces age restrictions in accordance with local laws:

• All guests must be at least 21 years of age to enter our gaming areas or participate in any gambling activities.
• We conduct rigorous ID verification at all entry points to gaming areas and when processing transactions above certain thresholds.
• Our staff receive regular training on identifying and preventing underage gambling.
• Any attempt by minors to access gaming areas or gamble will result in immediate removal from the premises and may lead to further action.

4. Employee Training

All Yondarex Casino Hotel employees receive comprehensive training on responsible gaming:

• Initial responsible gaming training as part of the onboarding process.
• Regular refresher courses to keep knowledge current.
• Specialized training for gaming floor staff to recognize signs of problem gambling.
• Training on appropriate intervention techniques and referral processes.
• Updates on regulatory changes and best practices in responsible gaming.

5. Self-Exclusion Program

We offer a comprehensive self-exclusion program for guests who wish to restrict their access to our casino hotel gaming facilities:

5.1 How Self-Exclusion Works

Guests can voluntarily request to be excluded from our gaming facilities for a specified period or permanently. During this period, they will be:

• Denied entry to gaming areas
• Removed from marketing databases
• Denied casino credit and check-cashing privileges
• Unable to participate in player reward programs

5.2 Enrollment Process

To enroll in the self-exclusion program, guests can:

• Speak with a member of our Responsible Gaming Team
• Visit the Responsible Gaming Information Center in our casino hotel
• Contact our dedicated responsible gaming helpline at +1 800 555 7890

The enrollment process includes verification of identity, a private interview, and signing a formal agreement.

5.3 Reinstatement

Reinstatement is not automatic when the self-exclusion period ends. Guests must submit a formal request and may be required to provide evidence of addressing their gambling concerns, such as participation in counseling or therapy.

6. Voluntary Limits and Controls

In addition to self-exclusion, we offer various options for guests to set personal limits on their gaming activities:

• Time Limits: Guests can set maximum time periods for gaming sessions.
• Loss Limits: Guests can establish maximum loss thresholds for specific periods.
• Deposit Limits: Guests can restrict the amount that can be deposited into their player accounts.
• Play Breaks: Guests can set cooling-off periods ranging from 24 hours to 30 days.

These limits can be set through our Player Services Desk or by speaking with a Responsible Gaming Ambassador.

7. Problem Gambling Recognition

We recognize that gambling problems can manifest in various ways. Some signs that gambling may be becoming problematic include:

• Spending more time or money on gambling than intended
• Gambling to escape problems or relieve distress
• Failed attempts to cut back or stop gambling
• Concealing the extent of gambling from family and friends
• Borrowing money or selling possessions to fund gambling
• Neglecting work, relationships, or personal responsibilities due to gambling
• Chasing losses with increased betting
• Feeling irritable when trying to reduce gambling

If you recognize these signs in yourself or someone you know, we encourage seeking assistance from the resources listed in Section 9.

8. Responsible Marketing and Advertising

Yondarex Casino Hotel is committed to ethical marketing practices:

• We do not target marketing to individuals under 21 years of age.
• We do not misrepresent the odds of winning or suggest that gambling is a way to solve financial problems.
• All marketing materials include responsible gaming messages and information about how to access support.
• We do not direct marketing to self-excluded individuals or those who have requested not to receive promotional materials.
• We present the realities of gambling in a balanced manner, never implying guaranteed success.
