Responsible Gaming
Introduction
At Driveway Patrol, we believe that gambling should be enjoyed as entertainment only. Online casino games are games of chance designed for enjoyment and should never be viewed as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Please gamble responsibly and within your means.
Age Verification
You must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction) to use our services and access casino platforms. We are committed to preventing underage gambling and protecting young people.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Be aware of these warning signs that may indicate problem gambling:
- Constantly thinking about gambling or past gambling experiences
- Gambling with increasing amounts of money to achieve the same excitement
- Repeatedly trying to cut back or quit without success
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- Hiding gambling activity or lying to family and friends about the extent of gambling
- Neglecting work, study, or family responsibilities due to gambling
- Using gambling as an escape from stress, anxiety, or depression
- Borrowing money or going into debt to finance gambling
- Experiencing relationship problems or arguments about gambling
- Feeling restless or irritable when trying to reduce gambling
If you recognize any of these signs in yourself or someone you know, please seek support immediately.
Self-Help Tools
Most responsible online casinos offer tools to help you maintain control:
- Deposit Limits: Set maximum amounts you can deposit within a specific timeframe
- Loss Limits: Set maximum amounts you're willing to lose during a session or period
- Time Limits: Set session duration limits to prevent extended gambling periods
- Reality Checks: Receive periodic reminders about how long you've been gambling and how much you've spent
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from your casino account
- Account Closure: Request permanent closure of your gaming account
We encourage you to use these tools proactively to manage your gaming experience.
