At Ready Book Club, we believe that online gaming should always remain a form of entertainment — never a source of stress, financial difficulty, or harm. We are deeply committed to promoting responsible gaming practices and providing our users with the tools, resources, and support they need to enjoy our platform safely and responsibly.
This page outlines our responsible gaming policy, the measures we have implemented to protect our players, and the resources available to anyone who may need assistance.
Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming
- Ready Book Club operates with a firm commitment to player welfare. We recognise that while the vast majority of our users enjoy gaming as a healthy pastime, a small number may develop problematic habits. As a responsible platform, it is our duty to:
- Provide a safe, fair, and transparent gaming environment for all users.
- Implement tools that empower players to manage their gaming activity.
- Identify and support users who may be at risk of developing unhealthy gaming habits.
- Comply with all applicable regulations and industry best practices related to responsible gaming.
- Continuously improve our responsible gaming measures based on the latest research and feedback.
Understanding Problem Gaming
Problem gaming occurs when an individual’s gaming behaviour begins to negatively impact their finances, relationships, mental health, or daily responsibilities. It is important to understand that problem gaming can affect anyone, regardless of age, gender, or background.
Warning Signs of Problem Gaming
- If you or someone you know experiences any of the following, it may be time to seek help:
- Spending more money or time on gaming than you can afford.
- Chasing losses by continuing to play in the hope of recovering previous losses.
- Neglecting personal responsibilities, work, studies, or relationships due to gaming.
- Borrowing money or selling personal belongings to fund gaming activities.
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when not gaming.
- Lying to family or friends about the extent of your gaming activity.
- Using gaming as an escape from personal problems or emotional distress.
- Experiencing difficulty setting limits or stopping when planned.
If any of these signs resonate with you, we strongly encourage you to use the self-help tools available on our platform and reach out to professional support services.
Player Protection Tools
Ready Book Club provides a comprehensive suite of tools designed to help you stay in control of your gaming activity. All tools are accessible from your account dashboard.
Deposit Limits
Set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits to control the amount of money you can add to your account within a given period. Once a limit is reached, no further deposits will be accepted until the next period begins. You can lower your limits at any time with immediate effect. Increases to deposit limits are subject to a cooling-off period of 24 hours before taking effect.
Session Time Limits
Set a maximum duration for your gaming sessions. When your time limit is reached, you will receive an on-screen notification reminding you to take a break. You may also choose to enable automatic logout when the session timer expires.
Loss Limits
Establish a maximum amount you are willing to lose within a defined period (daily, weekly, or monthly). Once this threshold is reached, you will be temporarily restricted from placing further bets until the next period.
Reality Check Reminders
Enable periodic reminders that display how long you have been playing and a summary of your activity during the current session. These reminders help you stay aware of the time and money spent, allowing you to make informed decisions about whether to continue.
Self-Exclusion
If you feel that you need a break from gaming, Ready Book Club offers a self-exclusion option. You can choose to exclude yourself from the platform for a period of 6 months, 1 year, or permanently. During the exclusion period:
- Your account will be deactivated and you will not be able to log in.
- You will not receive any marketing or promotional communications.
- Any remaining balance in your account will be returned to you.
- You will not be able to create a new account during the exclusion period.
To request self-exclusion, please contact our Customer Support team via live chat, email, or WhatsApp. Self-exclusion requests are processed within 24 hours.
Account Closure
You may close your Ready Book Club account at any time by contacting our support team. Account closure is permanent and your remaining balance will be returned via your preferred withdrawal method.
Tips for Responsible Gaming
We encourage all players to adopt healthy gaming habits. Here are some practical tips to help you enjoy Ready Book Club responsibly:
- Set a budget before you start playing and stick to it. Never gamble with money you cannot afford to lose.
- Set time limits for your gaming sessions and take regular breaks.
- Never chase losses. Accept that losing is part of gaming and walk away when your budget is spent.
- Avoid gaming when you are upset, stressed, or under the influence of alcohol or other substances.
- Treat gaming as entertainment, not as a way to make money or solve financial problems.
- Keep track of the time and money you spend on gaming. Use the tools available in your account dashboard.
- Talk to someone you trust if you feel that your gaming habits are becoming problematic.
- Balance gaming with other activities and hobbies in your life.
Protection of Minors
Ready Book Club strictly prohibits anyone under the age of 18 from using the platform. We take the protection of minors extremely seriously and have implemented the following measures:
- Age verification is required during the account registration process. Users must provide valid identification to confirm they are of legal gaming age.
- Accounts found to belong to underage individuals will be immediately suspended, and any funds will be returned.
- We encourage parents and guardians to use parental control software to prevent minors from accessing gaming websites.
- Marketing and promotional materials are never directed at minors.

- Have you ever lied to family or friends about how much you gamble?

- Have you ever borrowed money or sold possessions to fund gaming?
- Has gaming caused problems in your relationships, work, or studies?
- Do you often return to gaming to try to recover losses?
- Do you feel that gaming is the only activity that gives you excitement or relief?
