Responsible Gaming

Responsible Gambling at Bellagio Hotel & Casino (Las Vegas)

Safe and Balanced Gambling Habits

At Bellagio Hotel & Casino (Las Vegas), we encourage our players to maintain a healthy balance between gaming and other aspects of their lives. This means not spending more money than you can afford to lose, and taking regular breaks from gaming.

Gaming should be viewed as entertainment rather than a source of income. If you find yourself relying on winnings or feeling anxious about losing money, it may be time to reassess your gaming habits.

Budgeting for Gaming

To ensure a safe and enjoyable gaming experience, we recommend setting a budget before playing. Consider the amount you can afford to spend on entertainment each month, then allocate only that amount towards gaming.

Additionally, keep track of your wins and losses using our built-in tools or a personal spreadsheet. This will help you stay informed about your spending habits and identify potential issues early on.

Deposit, Loss, Wager, and Session Limits

We understand the importance of responsible spending and have implemented various limits to support our players' financial well-being:

• Deposit Limits: Set daily, weekly, or monthly limits for deposits made using any payment method.
• Loss Limits: Establish a maximum amount you are willing to lose before taking action to reassess your gaming habits.
• Wager Limits: Control the amount wagered on each bet, session, or overall balance. Our software will alert you when approaching these thresholds, allowing for timely adjustments.
• Session Limits: Set time limits for individual gaming sessions and schedule breaks throughout the day.

Our tools also allow players to pause or close their account entirely during a set timeframe (e.g., 24 hours), providing extra control over gameplay.

Reality Checks

Regular reality checks can help you stay in touch with your surroundings while playing. We offer:

• Timely Reminders: Periodic messages reminding you of your limits, session time, or any other setting.
• Session History: Review your gaming activity to identify areas where adjustments may be necessary.

Cooling-off Periods and Self-exclusion

If needed, our players can take a break from gaming using the built-in cooling-off periods:

• 24-Hour Cool-down: Temporarily pause account access for 24 hours.
• Cooling Off Period (up to 6 weeks): Suspend or extend self-exclusion options as required.

Account Verification and Age Restrictions

Bellagio Hotel & Casino (Las Vegas) strictly adheres to age restrictions, requiring verification of the player's date of birth during sign-up. To further protect our players, all gaming history will be erased at the end of each year for those under 25 years old.
