29.1. We are 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 gambling problem. We have a range of Responsible Gambling tools to help you remain aware of your activity such as deposit, stake, loss and session limits, as well as other options such as Self Exclusion. Please note: Setting a limit on your account to decrease your activity will be applied immediately. However, increases will be subject to a 7-day cooling off period. These cannot be applied retroactively meaning any existing transactions on your account cannot be made void.

29.1.1 Deposit Limits - In order to assist our players in gambling with responsibility, we have a Deposit Limit within each customer account. This option can be accessed within your "My Account" section. Limits can be amended at any time or by contacting support@Genesis Casino.com. Any reduction in the limits will take effect immediately and any increase in the limits will take seven days before coming into effect. We also wish to draw Your attention to the existence of software preventing an individual computer from accessing online gambling websites, such as www.cyberpatrol.com or www.gamblock.com If you require any further information or assistance regarding our functionality, please contact Support.

29.1.2. Self Exclusion - Should you need to take a break from gambling, you may exclude yourself for any definite or indefinite time. We provide a self-exclusion facility which can be activated by contacting Customer Support. If Your Account is regulated by the Company's UK online gambling license, you can Self-Exclude for a minimum period of six months (extendable by You for one or more periods of at least six months each) on the Responsible Gaming page or by sending an email to support@Genesis Casino.com. Prior to confirming Your self-exclusion request, you will be provided with information regarding the consequences of self-exclusion. Should You decide to be self-excluded, we encourage You to consider extending Your self-exclusion to other remote gambling operators currently used by You. Any undetermined bets at the time of Your self-exclusion will be settled in the normal way, according to the normal timescales and, if subsequently applicable, winnings will be paid to You. Any self-exclusion Account blocks cannot be undone during the agreed self-exclusion period. In case you enjoy a VIP status and you request or your account is temporarily or permanently under Self-Exclusion or your account is inactive/blocked for any specific reason, you will lose this status as a VIP player. Furthermore, we endeavour to apply your Self Exclusion as soon as practically possible, however, please be aware that this process takes a reasonable working period to implement. Your self-exclusion will not commence until it has been fully implemented and communicated to you.

29.1.3 If Your Account is regulated by the Company's UK online gambling license, you may request a time out from gambling, which is a self-exclusion request for a period of between 1 to 42 days, by submitting a request via the internet by contacting support@Genesis Casino.com

29.1.4. It is hereby clarified that regardless of the length of Your self-exclusion period, at the end of such self-exclusion period, such self-exclusion will end and you will be allowed to commence wagering with the Company and also receive marketing materials. If Your Account is regulated by the Company's UK online gambling license, at the end of such self-exclusion period, such self-exclusion will remain in place unless You take a positive action in order to gamble again (subject to a minimum self-exclusion period of six months), and You will not receive any marketing materials unless You have taken a positive action in order to gamble again and agreed to accept such marketing materials. The positive action in order to gamble again must be made via telephone and not via the internet, and is accompanied by a one day cooling off period prior to allowing You to gamble again.

29.1.5. In requesting self-exclusion, You agree to provide full and accurate personal details, now and in the future, so Your access/use of the Website and Services can be restricted. If You do choose to self-exclude, We will use all reasonable endeavours to ensure we comply with Your self-exclusion. However, in agreeing to self-exclude, You accept that You have a parallel obligation not to seek to circumvent the self-exclusion. Accordingly, We have no responsibility or liability for any subsequent consequences or losses howsoever caused that You may suffer or incur if You commence or continue to gamble through additional online accounts where You have changed any of the registration details or You provide misleading, inaccurate or incomplete details or otherwise seek to circumvent the self-exclusion agreed. If you self-exclude on a website operated by Genesis Global Limited, it will apply to all other brands. As a self-excluded player, you should not open another account with any other website during the time period you selected. Should you open another account with a website operated by Genesis Global Limited, we reserve the right to immediately close it, without prior notification and void any winnings. Any remaining real money balance will be refunded but will be subject to an administration fee of up to 10%.

29.1.6. If a player self-excludes their account, any real money funds that are not attached to any bonus, free spins or promotional offer will be refunded back via the method used to deposit originally. Where this method is no longer available, players will need to contact customer support (support@Genesis Casino.com) to arrange an alternative method for their refund. A standard processing fee will be applied.

Genesis Casino accepts no liability or responsibility should we fail to prevent access to your gaming account or opening subsequent gaming accounts with information that is inaccurate or inconsistent with the information that either Genesis Casino or GAMSTOP holds about you.

29.3.3 Self-exclusion will take effect immediately once your application with GAMSTOP has been processed. This will be reflected on our system immediately and you will no longer have access to your gaming account. Whilst GAMSTOP make every effort to action your self-exclusion instantly, there is no guarantee this will take effect within 24 hours. For this reason, we advise you contact us to confirm your self-exclusion with GAMSTOP. When confirming your Name, Username, Date of Birth and Address, please ensure these are accurate and consistent with the information you have provided to GAMSTOP, as well as information we hold about you also.

29.3.5.2 You will no longer receive marketing material regarding products, promotions or services from Genesis Casino.

29.3.5.3 Once your self-exclusion period has elapsed, you will be required to contact GAMSTOP to deactivate your self-exclusion, otherwise it will continue for an additional 7 years. This action can only be taken by yourself directly with GAMSTOP. Whilst they will attempt to action re-opening instantly, there is no guarantee this will take effect within 24 hours. All returns from self-exclusion periods are subject to a 24-hour “cooling-off” period. Once deactivated, you will be able to access existing or create new accounts.

29.3.5.4 Whilst under self-exclusion, you agree to not attempt to avoid any of the preventative mechanisms or procedures put in place by either Genesis Casino or GAMSTOP by accessing existing or creating any new accounts. Whilst GAMSTOP is intended to assist you with managing your gambling, it is not intended to function as a replacement for self-control. We cannot guarantee that it will always result in you being denied access to services or refused when attempting to create new accounts.

29.3.5.5 On account of the level of diligence we have employed in restricting your access to gaming services whilst under self-exclusion, Genesis Casino accepts no liability or responsibility should you, or a third-party, continue in any way to use our gaming services. In addition, in instances beyond our reasonable control, such as malfunctioning software, or an inability to recognise your identity immediately under the GAMSTOP jurisdiction, that results in your ability to access existing or create new accounts, Genesis Casino again accepts no liability or responsibility.
