INTRODUCTION
XXL Services N.V. (hereinafter referred to as the ‘LionSpin’, ‘we’, ‘us’, ‘our’) is committed to endorsing responsible gaming as a policy of customer care and social responsibility. We believe it is our responsibility to you, our customers, to ensure that you enjoy your wagering experience on our site, while remaining fully aware of the social and financial harms associated with problem gambling. Nevertheless, some people can lose sight of this, which in some cases can lead to addiction. If left unaddressed, this can lead to financial, personal and mental problems.
Any translation of this Responsible Gaming Policy into any other language is made only for our customer’s convenience and is not modifying the terms of this Responsible Gaming Policy. If there is a conflict between the English and any other version in a language other than English of this Responsible Gaming Policy, the English version shall prevail.
So, should you feel like limiting your gambling behavior, we offer several tools to help you enjoy a safe and responsible online casino experience. Please remember, you can also contact our support team.
MAINTAINING CONTROL
Gambling should be treated as a fun pastime, and not as a means to generate income. Whilst the majority of the population can treat gambling as recreation and spend only what they can afford to risk, for some it can be more difficult.
In order to maintain control of your gambling habits we remind you to always consider the following points:
- Gambling should be done in moderation and undertaken as a form of leisure not as a genuine way of making money;
- Avoid chasing losses - there will always be another day;
- Only gamble when you can cover the losses;
- Keep track of the time and monitor the amount of money you spend;
- Should you need a break from gambling, self-exclusion from one or all products can be activated by contacting our support team at [email protected].
If you need to talk to someone about any concerns you may have with your gambling, please contact one of the organizations which are detailed below.
DO YOU HAVE A PROBLEM?
If you are concerned that gambling has had a negative impact on your life or someone else's then the following questions may help you find out.
- Does gambling prevent you from attending work or college?
- Do you gamble to pass time or to escape boredom?
- Do you gamble alone for long periods of time?
- Have others ever criticized you for your gambling?
- Have you lost interest in family, friends or hobbies due to gambling?
- Have you ever lied to cover up the amount of money or time you spend gambling?
- Have you lied, stolen or borrowed in order to maintain betting habits?
- Are you reluctant to spend "gambling money" on anything else?
- Do you gamble until you lose all your money?
- After losing, do you feel that you have to try and win back the losses as soon as possible?
- If you run out of money when gambling, do you feel lost and in despair and feel the need to gamble again as soon as possible?
- Do arguments, frustrations or disappointments make you want to gamble?
- Does gambling make you depressed or even suicidal?
The more questions that you answer "yes" to, the more likely it is that you are having difficulties with your gambling. To speak with someone who can give you advice and support, please contact one of the organizations detailed below under Gambling Counselling Organizations.
STAYING IN CONTROL
LionSpin.com wants users to enjoy our platform and encourages the promotion of responsible gaming and staying in control. In addition to the variety of tools that are available to allow for responsible playing we advocate the use of self-awareness questionnaires designed to assess the level of activity and lend to self-regulation.

Limits can be amended anytime. Once these limits are set, the player shall not be able to exceed these limits. Limits can be amended at any time. A decrease in the deposit limit will take effect immediately, but an increase can only occur after a 7 (seven) day cooling-off period, in order to avoid rash decisions. If you require any further information or assistance regarding responsible gaming, please contact our support team at [email protected].

If you need to take a break from gambling or if you feel that you may have lost control of your gambling, we provide a self-exclusion facility, which can be activated by you within ‘My account’ or by contacting our support team at [email protected].

LionSpin site also allows customers to block access to individual products via ‘My account’ or by contacting our support team at [email protected].

If you self-exclude, during the applicable self-exclusion period, succeed in opening a LionSpin Account, depositing and playing, all of your bets shall be voided by us and all of your deposits will be returned to you, with an applied deduction equivalent of the transaction processing fees. This will occur immediately upon detection, and you agree to waive any and all claims relating to the respective amounts.
