Responsible Gaming

Wizard of Oz is built for entertainment, and we take player protection seriously. Online casino games should feel fun, optional, and within your control - never stressful, never like a way to solve financial problems.

This page explains practical habits that help you stay balanced, common warning signs to watch for, and the account tools that may help you take breaks or set boundaries. If gaming stops feeling manageable, you will also find guidance on getting support.

What “safer play” really means

Safer play is about keeping gaming in a healthy place in your life. That usually comes down to a few simple ideas:

• Play for enjoyment, not income
• Know your limits before you start
• Make decisions with a clear head
• Treat time and money spent as part of your entertainment budget

Everyone’s comfort level is different. The right approach is the one that fits your budget, your mindset, and your day-to-day responsibilities.

How Wizard of Oz supports player protection

We aim to make staying in control straightforward, not confusing. Our approach focuses on:

Clear information so you understand how the platform works, including balances, gameplay, and promotions Fair, transparent gameplay powered by established software providers Tools and settings designed to help you set boundaries around spending and time Support options so you can ask questions or take action early, before things feel overwhelming Responsible play guidance that is easy to find whenever you need it

If you ever feel unsure about something on your account, you can contact support through live chat for help understanding your options.

Simple habits that help you stay in control

Most healthy gaming habits are small choices made consistently. If you want a realistic framework, start here:

Set a budget before you log in, and stick to it. Choose a number you can comfortably afford as entertainment. Decide how long you want to play, and set a stop time. Take regular breaks, especially during long sessions or late-night play. Avoid playing when you are stressed, angry, exhausted, or under the influence of alcohol or substances. Do not chase losses. Trying to “win it back” often leads to spending more than planned. Keep gaming separate from essentials like rent, mortgage payments, utilities, food, debt payments, and savings goals. Check your transaction and play activity occasionally so you stay aware of patterns, not just single sessions.

It can also help to think of wins and losses the same way you would for any paid entertainment - they are part of the experience, not a strategy.

Warning signs worth paying attention to

Problems rarely show up all at once. They often start as subtle changes in mood, routines, or spending. Consider taking a pause if you notice any of the following:

You regularly spend more than you meant to, even after setting a budget You play longer than planned, or find it hard to stop when you say you will You feel pressure to win back money quickly after a loss You hide gaming activity from family or friends, or feel the need to “cover it up” You feel anxious, guilty, irritable, or distracted because of gaming You borrow money, sell items, or use funds meant for essentials to continue playing You think about gaming constantly, even when you are doing other things Gaming begins to affect sleep, work, school, relationships, or your mental health

If any of these feel familiar, it does not mean you have failed. It means it may be time to use support tools, take a break, and talk to someone you trust.

Account tools that can help you set boundaries

Wizard of Oz may offer a range of limit-setting and awareness tools designed to support healthier play. Availability can vary by account, location, or product updates, but common tools include:

Deposit limits Helps you cap how much you can add within a day, week, or month.

Loss limits Helps you set a maximum loss amount over a chosen period, so a rough session does not turn into an unplanned spend.

Wager limits Helps you limit the total amount you can stake during a defined time window.

Session limits and time reminders Helps you set a maximum session length and receive reminders while you play, so time does not get away from you.

Reality checks Optional pop-ups that summarize time spent and activity, prompting you to decide whether to continue.

Transaction and gameplay history A practical way to review deposits, purchases, redemptions, and play patterns over time.

If you are not sure where to find these settings, use the help area in your account, or contact support through the chat option.

Time-out vs. self-exclusion - choosing the right break

Taking a break is a strong, proactive step. It is also private and judgment-free.

Cooling-off or time-out A short-term break that temporarily restricts access. This option is helpful if you feel yourself slipping into longer sessions, playing emotionally, or spending more than planned.

Self-exclusion A longer break designed for situations where you need stronger boundaries. Self-exclusion is meant to help you step away for an extended period and reduce the temptation to return too quickly.

If you are debating which to choose, a simple rule can help: if you are unsure you can stick to a short break, consider a longer exclusion.

Adults only - underage play is not allowed

Wizard of Oz is intended for adults only. Underage gaming is not permitted.

To help prevent underage access, we may use account verification and age checks. We also encourage parents and guardians to keep login details private, use device-level parental controls, and monitor app access on shared phones, tablets, and computers.

Getting support when gaming stops feeling manageable

If gaming no longer feels enjoyable, or if you feel like it is taking up too much mental space, getting support can help. Consider one or more of the following:

Use limit-setting tools to reduce spending or time Take a cooling-off break or self-exclude for longer support Talk to someone you trust - a friend, partner, or family member Reach out to a qualified counselor or healthcare professional if anxiety, stress, or compulsive behavior is involved

If you want help understanding your account options, support is available through live chat.

Support resources you can trust

For professional help, look for licensed, reputable services in your area, including:

National or local responsible gambling organizations Government public health programs that offer gambling-related support Licensed therapists or counselors with experience in behavioral addiction Community mental health clinics and confidential counseling services

If you are ever in immediate danger or feel at risk of self-harm, contact local emergency services right away.

A shared responsibility - what we do, and what you can do

Our role is to provide a fair platform, clear information, and practical tools that support safer choices. Your role is to use those tools honestly, keep your play within limits that make sense for your life, and take early action when something feels off.

Gaming should stay in the “fun” category - not the “fix” category. If you ever need to reset your habits, taking a break and asking for support is a responsible step, and it is always okay to do it sooner rather than later.
