Hard Rock Bet Shares Tips As Responsible Gaming Education Month Begins

While September marks the beginning of NFL season across the United States, it also marks another significant occasion in the gaming industry and for our best sportsbooks. 

September is Responsible Gaming Education Month (RGEM), and in recognition of this initiative, online gaming operator Hard Rock Bet has issued a press release encouraging its customers to play responsibly. 

The release spotlights four key responsible gaming tools, each with a 30-second demo video showing how to use the tool via the Hard Rock Bet app after signing up with a Hard Rock Bet promo code. All tools are available from the “Responsible Gaming” tab, accessible from the bottom of the app’s homepage.

The tools

The first tool introduced is deposit limits. Players can set daily, weekly, and monthly deposit limits to control the amount of money they add to their accounts. Once set, the customer won’t be able to increase the limit until the end of the 24 hours, week, or month. Players must also keep in mind that setting a $0 limit will block all deposits until the time frame is up.

Hard Rock Bet then recommends wager limits, which help players keep their spending in check. They differ from deposit limits in that they focus on the customer's spending rather than simply what they have funded into their account.

The third feature, session limits, allows users to manage the time they spend gambling via the Hard Rock Bet app. Players can set a session duration starting at one hour, and once the time is up, the app will automatically log them out.

Finally, Hard Rock mentions timeouts. This tool offers customers the option to temporarily close their accounts until they’re ready to return. Players can still log in to withdraw funds and view their betting history. The press release also encourages users to regularly check their “History” tab to monitor their gambling habits.

“Join us in celebrating Responsible Gaming Education Month by using these tools to keep your gaming fun, safe, and in control,” states the press release. “Let’s make this September all about safe and responsible gaming!”

Now, each September marks RGEM across the US, focused on promoting safe gambling and reducing the risks of problem gambling.
