Six Protection Features Dortuna Provides for You

All these tools are accessible directly within the app or your account settings — free, no need to contact anyone, and active within seconds.

Daily / Weekly Deposit Limit

Set the maximum amount you can deposit in a single day or week. Once the limit is reached, the system automatically blocks additional deposits — no exceptions.

Session Time Limit

Set the maximum duration you want to play in a single session. Once the set period is reached, the system will send a reminder and can be configured to log out automatically.

Loss Limit

Set a limit on how much you are willing to lose within a given period. Once the loss limit is reached, your gaming session will be automatically stopped for that day or week.

Temporary Account Pause

Need a short break? Activate an account pause for 24 hours, 3 days, one week, or one month. During the pause period, your account cannot be used to log in or play.

Long-Term Self-Exclusion

For those who want a longer break, a self-exclusion option is available for periods of 6 months, one year, or permanently. This is a serious choice and cannot be reversed once the active period has begun.

Live Support Chat

Dortuna's support team is trained in responsible gaming issues and available 24/7. Chat confidentially, without judgment, with agents who understand your situation.

Signs That Gaming May Have Become a Problem

Most people don't realise when gaming has shifted from entertainment to something more serious. There is nothing wrong with evaluating yourself — it is actually a sign of courage and wisdom.

1

Playing to chase losses. You find yourself continuing to play not for enjoyment, but to try to win back money you've already lost.

2

Neglecting responsibilities. Gaming starts taking time away from work, family, studies, or important social relationships.

3

Borrowing money to fund play. You are using loans, credit cards, or borrowing money from others specifically to fund your play.

4

Unable to stop even when you want to. You have tried to stop or cut back on playing but found it very difficult to do so.

5

Feeling anxious or irritable when not playing. Feeling anxious, uneasy, or irritable when unable to access the gaming platform.

6

Hiding your gaming habits. You feel uncomfortable telling loved ones how much time or money you spend on playing.

Quick Self-Check: Is the Way I Play Still Healthy?

Check any statement that feels true for you in the past 30 days. This is for personal reflection only — no data is sent anywhere.

I have played longer or spent more than I originally planned.

I feel the need to increase my wagering amount to get the same level of excitement.

Gaming has started affecting my sleep, meals, or daily activities.

I have been dishonest with family or friends about my gaming habits.

I have used money set aside for other needs — such as bills or food — to play.

I feel uncomfortable or anxious when I haven't been able to play for a few days.

I have tried to stop or cut back on gaming but was unsuccessful.

If you checked 3 or more of the statements above, it may be a good time to talk to someone. The Dortuna support team is ready to help without any judgment.

How to Use Dortuna's Self-Control Tools

All protection tools are accessible in under 2 minutes, directly from your phone. No lengthy process, no judgmental questions.

Set Limits via Account Settings

Log in to your Dortuna account, go to "Settings" then "Responsible Gaming". There you can easily set deposit limits, session time limits, and loss limits. Limit changes that reduce your limits take effect immediately, while changes that increase limits require a 48-hour waiting period.

Activate Account Pause

On the same page, select "Account Pause" and choose your preferred duration — from 24 hours to one month. While a pause is active, you cannot log in, make deposits, or play. The period can be extended but not shortened, to ensure its effectiveness.

Long-Term Self-Exclusion

Select "Self-Exclusion" to take a break for 6 months, one year, or permanently. This is a more serious decision — once active, it cannot be reversed during the exclusion period. Any real-money balance remaining in the account will be processed for withdrawal following standard procedures.

Session Time Notifications

Enable periodic reminders — Dortuna will send notifications every 30, 60, or 90 minutes to remind you how long you've been playing. This helps you stay aware of the time spent and make more conscious decisions about whether to continue or take a break.

What Is Responsible Gaming?

Responsible gaming means enjoying online games as a form of entertainment — not as a source of income, not as an escape from problems, and not as something that controls your life. It's not a difficult concept, but it does require consistent awareness.

At Dortuna, we believe every player deserves a fun and safe gaming experience. Our platform is built not only to offer quality games, but also to ensure players have all the tools they need to stay in control. Playing at Dortuna should leave you feeling good — not stressed, not regretful.

Dortuna's Commitment to Players

Dortuna's commitment to responsible gaming is more than a slogan. It is embedded in how our platform is built and how our team operates every day. We take several concrete steps to maintain a healthy gaming environment:

  • Strict age verification at registration — only users aged 21 and above are permitted to register and play.
  • Our support team receives specialised training to identify players who may be showing signs of problem gambling, and are trained to handle these conversations with sensitivity.
  • An automated monitoring system that detects unusual or high-risk gaming patterns and triggers a review by our team.
  • Responsible gaming information and resources are always displayed and easily accessible within the platform — not hidden on hard-to-find pages.
  • Dortuna does not send promotions or bonus offers to players who are currently under an account pause or self-exclusion period.

Smart Play Principles We Encourage

Here are a few simple principles that can help you stay in control and enjoy a more fulfilling gaming experience:

  • Set a budget before you play — decide how much you are willing to spend and treat it as an entertainment cost, just like a cinema ticket or a dinner out.
  • Set a time limit — decide how long you will play before starting a session, and stick to that limit even when you are winning.
  • Don't play when you're stressed or emotionally unwell — emotional instability can affect your gaming decisions and lead to regret.
  • Don't treat wins as a source of income — gaming is entertainment; wins are a fun bonus, not something to be relied upon.
  • Take regular breaks — take a short break every hour and step away from the platform for a few days each week to maintain a healthy perspective.
  • Play with money you can afford to lose — never use money for bills, food, loans, or basic necessities to play.

What You Should Do If You Feel There Is a Problem

The most important first step is acknowledging that there is a problem — and that takes courage. If you feel gaming has started to negatively affect your finances, relationships, or mental health, don't wait for things to get worse.

What you can do right now: activate a dortuna account pause immediately through the app settings. This gives you breathing room to think more clearly without distraction. Then, talk to someone you trust — whether a family member, a friend, or a professional counsellor.

The Dortuna support team can also help connect you with appropriate support resources. We will not judge you — we simply want to help.

If you'd like to talk about your gaming habits or need help activating any self-control tools, contact the Dortuna support team via live chat in the app. We're available 24/7, every day.

Questions About Responsible Gaming

For temporary account pauses (24 hours to one month), early cancellation is not permitted as this would defeat the purpose of the tool. For shorter pauses such as 24 hours, you will need to wait for the period to expire naturally. For long-term self-exclusion (6 months or more), there is no way to cancel it during the active period — this is an intentional protective measure.

Real money in your account remains safe during a pause period. For temporary pauses, funds will be available for withdrawal once the pause period ends. For long-term self-exclusion, you may request a withdrawal of your real-money balance by contacting the dortuna support team — this process will be completed even while the account is in self-exclusion mode.

Yes. dortuna has a monitoring system that detects certain patterns such as a sudden increase in deposit amounts, unusually long gaming sessions, or loss-chasing behaviour. When these patterns are detected, our team will proactively reach out to you — not to judge, but to check that you are doing well and to inform you of the support tools available.

An account pause is a temporary break with a fixed duration (24 hours to one month), designed for players who need a short rest. Self-exclusion is a more serious measure with a minimum period of 6 months and cannot be cancelled while active. An account pause suits those who recognise they need a brief break, while self-exclusion is more appropriate if you feel there is a more serious problem and you need longer-term support.

Every dortuna account is for one individual only and cannot be shared with others — this is a condition in our Terms & Conditions. If you are concerned that a family member may be using your account without your knowledge, we recommend changing your password and enabling two-factor authentication (2FA) to secure your account. If you are concerned about a family member's gaming habits, please contact our support team for further discussion.
