Responsibility to Our Players
Banca de Apostas values its players and is proud to be chosen as sports book and casino provider.
The company’s responsible gaming program focuses on the social impact of gambling upholding the following three conventions to:
-
Prevent problem gambling
-
Prevent underage gambling
-
Ensure gambling is conducted in a fair and open way
Banca de Apostas recognizes that for a small portion of players wagering may lead to negative consequences in other areas of their life. Banca de Apostas encourages responsible gaming for its players and employees. For the players, Banca de Apostas achieves this by offering limit-setting and cool-off capabilities, making problem gambling resources available in all sports books and online gaming, and helping with self-exclusion both in-house and in local jurisdictions. For employees, Banca de Apostas offers annual mandatory training for the ticket writers, customer service staff and corporate employees.
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 worry or trouble
-
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
If you or someone you know is experiencing any of these warning signs, Banca de Apostas encourages you to measure your gambling risk level by taking a gambling risk test through the regulatory agencies available in your jurisdiction.
Limit Setting
Banca de Apostas empowers its players by offering several jurisdictionally based limit options to enjoy their gaming experience responsibly.
Each of the following responsible gaming options are available for players. Players can use as many of the available options as they choose.
Deposit Limit
Ability to set a maximum deposit limit for a selected time frame: daily, weekly, or monthly.
Spending Limit
Set a maximum bet spend for a selected time frame: daily, weekly, or monthly.
Daily Time Limit
Set the maximum time (measured in hours) that can be spent on an internet gaming system.
Cool Off Time Limit
Select when to take a break from a personal account from 3-30 days.
Self-Exclusion
Banca de Apostas’s players can self-exclude from further wagering for a minimum of twelve (12) months if they feel they have or may be at risk of developing gambling-related problems. Players may exclude themselves directly through Banca de Apostas website or by emailing a Banca de Apostas Self-Exclusion form available at the Banca de Apostas’s website to support@bancadeapostas.com.
Once self-excluded, the player will be banned by Banca de Apostas in the local jurisdiction.
At the completion of one’s Self-Exclusion period, the player may be reinstated by submitting a reinstatement form found available at the Banca de Apostas’s website to support@Banca de Apostas.com.
Opt-Out Program
Upon request, a player may opt-out of receiving marketing communications including SMS messaging from Banca de Apostas by sending an email to support@Banca de Apostas.com stating that they no longer want to be contacted by any media.
Commitment to Preventing Underage Gambling
A core aspect of Banca de Apostas’s Responsible Gaming program is the prevention of underage gambling. Players must present either a valid driver’s license, national ID, passport, or any valid ID to register and wager at the Banca de Apostas sports book website.
Banca de Apostas will verify the player’s identity using a Know Your Customer (KYC) process. If data is validated and the customer is confirmed to not be on a self-exclusion list and is over the legal age to gamble in that jurisdiction, the account set up is approved. If the KYC process fails to validate the customer, an alert message is sent to Banca de Apostas’s customer service team who will contact the requesting customer to provide the necessary information to validate identity, etcetera.
Banca de Apostas encourages parents and concerned adults to talk to kids early:
Begin a meaningful dialogue about the risks of gambling. It’s never too early to start the conversation about gambling and its risks. By opening a dialogue, concerned adults can help ensure that kids are better prepared to make responsible choices now and throughout their lives.
Banca de Apostas advises the players to keep their login information safe:
The players must ensure that their account information is secure. Parents and other concerned adults should be mindful of the possibility that kids can access their accounts and passwords or use credit cards and personal information to create a fraudulent account.
Banca de Apostas suggests considering downloading computer safeguards:
While content control tools may have their limitations, software is available that may block access to online gambling sites.
