RESPONSIBLE GAMING POLICY

Ryze Beyond Ltd. values its users and wants to provide them with safe experience while browsing our website available at: https://top10usgambling.com/. We want you to have the best experiences with the top gambling websites available in the US. What we don’t want is for things to get out of control, and for gambling to have a negative impact on you and your life. We’ve put together some useful tools, information, tips and resources below to help you have fun gambling experience while ensuring responsible gambling.

The company’s responsible gambling policy focuses on the social impact of gambling upholding the following three principles to:

  • Prevent problem gambling;
  • Prevent underage gambling; and
  • Ensure gambling is conducted in a fair and open way.

WHAT IS RESPONSIBLE GAMBLING?

Responsible gambling is the process of staying within your personal limits. Although there may be some generally accepted levels of what constitutes problem gambling, the boundaries are individual. For example, a large bet for one person may be manageable for someone else. It all depends on your budget and bankroll. Therefore, the best way to define responsible gambling is that it’s playing in a way that doesn’t harm you financially, mentally, or socially.

Warning signs of problem gambling can include:

  • Losing time from work, school, or family due to betting.
  • Repeatedly failed in attempts to stop or to control betting.
  • Borrowing money to gamble or pay betting debts.
  • Betting to escape problems or relieve feelings of helplessness, guilt, anxiety, or depression. ‎
  • Neglecting the care of one’s self or family in order to bet.
  • Lying about the amount of time or money spent on betting.
  • Selling or pawning personal possessions to get money to bet.
  • Having feelings of hopelessness, depression, or suicide as a result of betting.

HOW TO HANDLE RESPONSIBLE GAMBLING?

If you or someone you know is experiencing any of these warning signs, we encourage you to note of the following responsible gambling tools and tips:

  1. Set a budget and stick to it.Setting a budget is probably one of the most important steps you can do to gamble responsibly. Check your income and expenses, and use that information to decide how much you want to spend, and potentially lose, on gambling each week or month, and stick to that limit.
  2. Avoid chasing your losses.Avoid trying to win back your losses by gambling more. This approach is a surefire way to lose even more money than you had initially planned.
  3. Take breaks from gambling.Take some time off from gambling to clear your head and resetting your gambling habits, which might help to both your mental health and finances status. If taking a break does not help, then you need to consider using gambling exclusion services to keep yourself safe. In this situations, seeking professional advice is also recommended – see more information on how to get help under “Self-Exclusion and Professional Help with Gambling Addiction in the US” section below.
  4. Be aware of the odds.You should always be aware of the odds to win when you gamble. The chances of winning are always stacked against you, so don’t expect to win every time you gamble. Knowing the odds and risks of these games, can help you play smarter and more responsible.
  5. Don’t gamble when you are emotional.Never gamble when you are angry, sad, or stressed. Doing anything when you are emotional can lead to bad decisions, and that’s true of gambling as well. If you aren’t feeling like your normal self, you should wait until you have calmed down and refocused before you gamble.
  6. Do not gamble when you are under the influence of alcohol or other substances.Alcohol, prescription medication, and recreational drug use (whether legal or not) alters your state of mind and increasing the risk of making bad decisions.
  7. Get help if you are struggling.
    If you simply can’t cope with your gambling habits, there is no shame in getting the help you need. There are plenty resources available, all of them judgement free, in most countries and states with legalized gambling, which offer support to anyone who has or is at risk of developing gambling problems.

WHAT TO DO IF YOU SEE SIGNS OF GAMBLING PROBLEM?

If you are worried that someone you know might be developing, or already has, a gambling problem based on the list above, it is important to take proactive action to help them cope with this problem. Offer your support and help in finding resources and services that can provide the care they need.

If you recognize the signs in yourself, it’s important to get help immediately. Some of the types of resources you can turn to are based on personal preference and location, and include:

  • Gambling addiction treatment programs: These programs can provide you with the support and treatment you need to overcome your addiction.
  • Gambling hotlines: These hotlines can provide you with information and support about problem gambling.
  • Gambling counseling services: These services can help you understand your gambling behavior and develop strategies to manage it.
  • Gambling support groups: These groups can provide you with support from people who understand what you’re going through.

COMMITMENT TO PREVENTING UNDERAGE GAMBLING

A core aspect of our activity is preventing underage gambling. Our website is intended solely for individuals which are at least twenty-one (21) years of age, as shall be indicated in the footer of the website. Although we are making it clear to our users that our website is intended for individuals which are at least twenty-one (21) years of age, there is a limit to how much we can do to prevent underage users. In most cases, the only effective tool to avoid underage users is the age verification process, and many operators only enforce this process during prize redemptions. Therefore, your duty as a parent/guardian is to protect your children from unauthorized use.

You may see below some useful tips in order to avoid underage users’ interactions with our website, and other gambling services:

  1. Don’t visit these websites in the presence of your kids so they don’t subconsciously gain interest.
  2. Don’t use the “remember me” option when logging in to your accounts in the gambling operators’ websites.
  3. If the kids need to make online payments using your credit card, ensure you know what they are paying for.
  4. Find the right way to talk to them about gambling.
  5. Learn the signs of addiction and look out for them.

Self-exclusion and blocking tools are essential for managing and dealing with gambling addiction. However, a crucial aspect of responsible gambling also involves seeking professional help and support from experts. These professionals are trained to identify problem gambling and can recommend treatment options tailored to your specific needs. Most states with regulated gambling industries have a wide range of help and support options available.
