Gambling Responsibly
We recommend that you keep the following in mind when using our site at all times:
● Play in moderation and keep in mind that this is a form of leisure and not a way of making a living.
● Only play when you have the money to play and do not borrow money for gaming or gambling purposes.
● Set yourself a budget and keep track of the amounts spent. Do not exceed your self-imposed budgets.
● If you feel that you or a friend or family may have a gambling problem please continue reading below to see ways in which we can help you.

Problem Gaming
Gambling is supposed to be fun and entertaining but unfortunately some people develop a dependency towards gambling.  Expekt.com is committed to the promotion of responsible gaming with the aim of minimizing problem gambling and promoting a healthy and responsible gambling environment.

We encourage you to make use of the facilities on this Responsible Gaming page and to take our test if you have any doubts as to whether you may have a gambling problem. We also encourage you to open the pdf document below and read up on the options we offer our customers to encourage responsible gaming for instance setting up of deposit limits or temporary or permanent self-exclusion from our site.

Expekt.com’s funded research project
Expekt.com is working on a pilot project in cooperation with researchers from Uppsala University and Brigham and Women's Hospital an affiliate of Harvard Medical School. The purpose of this cooperation is to conduct research on gaming/gambling behaviour in an online environment that will in the future contribute to the development of tools to work preventively to better identify protective factors, problem areas, and to assist people in the risk zone for problematic gambling.
