Responsible Gaming — Fishing Club 2 by BGaming

At FishingClub2BGaming.com, gambling should be an enjoyable form of entertainment, never a source of financial or emotional distress. This page provides resources and practical tools to help you stay in control while playing Fishing Club 2 or any other casino game.

Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can develop gradually and may be difficult to recognize in yourself. The following warning signs may indicate that gambling is becoming a problem:

  • Chasing losses: You continue playing after losing in an attempt to win back the money you have lost, often increasing your bets in the process.
  • Spending beyond your means: You gamble with money intended for bills, rent, food, or other essential expenses.
  • Borrowing to gamble: You borrow money from friends, family, or financial institutions specifically to fund your gambling.
  • Neglecting responsibilities: Work performance, relationships, or personal hygiene suffer because of the time and energy spent on gambling.
  • Lying about gambling: You hide the extent of your gambling from people close to you or minimize how much time and money you spend.
  • Emotional dependence: You gamble to escape negative feelings such as stress, anxiety, depression, or boredom.
  • Inability to stop: You have tried to cut back or stop gambling but find yourself unable to do so.
  • Preoccupation: You spend a significant amount of time thinking about gambling, planning your next session, or reliving past wins.
  • Tolerance: You need to gamble with increasingly larger amounts of money to achieve the same excitement.
  • Withdrawal symptoms: You feel restless, irritable, or anxious when you try to reduce or stop gambling.

If you recognize any of these signs in yourself or someone you know, we strongly encourage you to seek help using the resources listed below.

Self-Assessment Questions

Answer the following questions honestly to evaluate whether your gambling habits may be cause for concern. These questions are based on widely used screening tools for problem gambling.

  1. Have you ever gambled longer than you originally planned?
  2. Have you ever gambled with money you could not afford to lose?
  3. Have you ever felt guilty about the way you gamble or the consequences of your gambling?
  4. Have you ever tried to win back money you previously lost by returning to gamble again?
  5. Have you ever borrowed money or sold possessions to finance gambling?
  6. Has gambling ever caused you to miss work, school, or other important commitments?
  7. Have you ever lied to family members or others to hide the extent of your gambling?
  8. Do you find yourself thinking about gambling throughout the day, even when doing other activities?
  9. Have you experienced arguments with family or friends related to your gambling?
  10. Have you ever felt that you would like to stop gambling but did not think you could?

If you answered yes to three or more of these questions, your gambling behavior may be problematic. We recommend reaching out to a professional support organization for a confidential assessment.

Setting Limits

One of the most effective ways to gamble responsibly is to set firm limits before you start playing. Here are the key types of limits you should establish:

Time Limits

  • Decide in advance how long you will play during each session and stick to that decision.
  • Set a timer or alarm on your phone to alert you when your session time is up.
  • Take regular breaks during your gaming session — a 10-minute break every 30 minutes is a good practice.
  • Never gamble late at night when your judgment may be impaired by fatigue.

Money Limits

  • Set a strict budget for gambling that is separate from money needed for bills, savings, and essentials.
  • Never deposit more than your predetermined budget, regardless of outcomes.
  • Use the deposit limit tools available at most online casinos to enforce your budget automatically.
  • Consider your gambling budget as the cost of entertainment, similar to buying a cinema ticket — once it is spent, the entertainment is over.
  • Never attempt to recover losses by increasing your bets or depositing additional funds.

Loss Limits

  • Decide the maximum amount you are willing to lose in a single session before you begin playing.
  • When you reach your loss limit, stop playing immediately. Do not make exceptions.
  • Many online casinos offer automatic loss limit settings — take advantage of these tools.

Win Limits

  • Set a target win amount. When you reach it, consider stopping and withdrawing your profits.
  • This prevents the common pattern of winning and then losing everything back by continuing to play.

Self-Exclusion Options

If you feel that setting limits is not enough to control your gambling, self-exclusion is a more definitive step. Self-exclusion allows you to voluntarily ban yourself from gambling platforms for a set period of time.

  • Casino self-exclusion: Most licensed online casinos offer self-exclusion options within their account settings. You can typically choose exclusion periods of 6 months, 1 year, or 5 years. During this period, you will be unable to log in or deposit.
  • GAMSTOP (UK): GAMSTOP is a free service that allows you to self-exclude from all UKGC-licensed online gambling companies. You can register for exclusion periods of 6 months, 1 year, or 5 years.
  • Software blocking: Applications such as Gamban and BetBlocker can block access to gambling websites across all your devices, providing an additional layer of protection.
  • Bank blocking: Many banks now allow you to block gambling transactions on your debit card. Contact your bank to inquire about this feature.
