Responsible Gaming

Funky Time Responsible Gambling

At Funky Time, we are committed to providing a safe and enjoyable experience for all our players. As part of this commitment, we have implemented various tools and measures to promote responsible gambling habits.

Safe and Balanced Gambling Habits

We believe that gaming should be treated as entertainment, rather than a means to generate income. To ensure you maintain healthy gaming habits, please consider the following:

  • Set aside a budget for your gaming activities and stick to it.
  • Don't chase losses – know when to stop and walk away.
  • Manage your bankroll effectively by setting deposit limits.

Budget and Bankroll Management

Effective management of your finances is crucial for maintaining responsible gambling habits. Consider the following guidelines:

  • Deposit Limits: Set a daily, weekly, or monthly limit on your deposits to ensure you don't spend more than intended.
  • Loss Limits: Establish a limit on your losses to prevent significant financial setbacks.
  • Wagering Limits: Limit your bets per spin/session to maintain control over your gaming activities.

Reality Checks and Time Reminders

We understand that it's easy to lose track of time while gaming. To help you stay responsible, we offer:

  • Real-Time Notifications: We'll remind you when you reach a set deposit limit or win/loss threshold.
  • Session Breaks: Take regular breaks from your games to stretch, eat, and reassess your budget.

Cooling-Off Periods and Self-Exclusion Tools

If needed, take a break from gaming with our self-exclusion tool. This feature allows you to temporarily block access to your account for 24 hours, 7 days, or up to 30 days at a time. For more severe cases, consider the permanent exclusion option.

Account Verification and Age Restrictions

To protect vulnerable players, we require verification of age upon registration. Our system uses sophisticated checks to verify player IDs, including photo ID uploads and Onfido AI selfie validation.

Warning Signs of Problematic Gambling

Be aware of these potential warning signs:

  • Increased betting frequency or amount
  • Spending more than intended on gaming activities
  • Feeling anxious or irritable while attempting to reduce gaming time or spending
  • Hiding your gaming habits from family and friends
  • Continuing to gamble despite negative consequences (e.g., financial, social)

Responsible Bonus Usage

When accepting bonuses, please be aware that they often come with specific terms and conditions. Understand these before participating in gaming activities to avoid excessive wagering requirements or significant losses.

Mobile Gambling Awareness

Mobile devices can facilitate convenient gaming access but also risk promoting problem gambling if not used responsibly. Ensure you have adequate controls on your device settings:

  • Regularly review your mobile usage habits
  • Install digital well-being tools (e.g., Screen Time, Freedom)
  • Utilize built-in features like app blocking or scheduling downtime

Account Security and Player Protection

At Funky Time, we're committed to providing a secure gaming environment. We urge you to:

  • Use strong passwords with unique characters, numbers, and special characters
  • Regularly update your operating system and software
  • Enable two-factor authentication whenever available

Compliance with Licensing or Gambling Regulations

We maintain the highest standards in compliance with all relevant regulations (e.g., AUSTRAC, AFRICAN Gaming Industry Code of Practice). Our operations adhere to industry best practices for fair gaming and transparency.

  • Independent review of our Random Number Generator (RNG) systems
