Responsible gambling
Chronos is a game, and it should stay one. Slots are built to return less than you stake over time, so play only with money you can afford to lose and use the tools UK casinos are required to offer.
Limits and time-outs
Every UKGC-licensed casino lets you set deposit limits by day, week or month. Lowering a limit takes effect straight away; raising one comes with a cooling-off delay. You can also set reminders that tell you how long you have been playing, and take a time-out from a day up to several weeks if you need a break.
Self-exclusion with GAMSTOP
If you want to stop completely, register with GAMSTOP. It is free and blocks you from every online casino licensed in Great Britain for six months, one year or five years. You can also ask a single casino to close your account, but GAMSTOP covers all of them at once.
Signs that gambling is causing harm
- You spend more time or money than you planned, or chase losses to win them back.
- You borrow money, skip bills or hide your gambling from family and friends.
- You feel restless or irritable when you try to cut down.
- You play to escape stress, boredom or low mood.
If any of these sound familiar, stop and talk to someone.
Special Bets and bonus buys as risk points
Some features raise the cost of every spin. In Chronos, Special Bets cost 1.5× or 2.5× your bet on each spin, which makes your balance run down faster even though free spins come more often. Bonus buys are not available in Great Britain, but if you ever play the demo version with a buy button, remember that a single purchase costs as much as a hundred spins or more. Set your stake for the total cost per spin, not the base bet.
