Commitment linkjoy towards Players

Simple Self-Limit Tools

Set your own deposit limits, loss limits, or play time limits directly from your account settings. Control is in your hands — not the other way around.

Immediate Self-Exclusion

You may request a temporary or permanent self-exclusion at any time. Requests are processed within 24 hours and cannot be reversed during the set period.

Play Time Reminder

Enable notifications that will remind you when a gaming session reaches the time limit you have set — an easy way to stay aware without watching the clock.

Self-Reality Check

Review your gaming history, deposit and withdrawal statistics over a specific period to get a clear, objective picture of your playing habits.

Minor Protection

A strict age verification system ensures the linkjoy platform is only accessible to individuals aged 18 and above. We have zero tolerance on this.

Professional Support & Resources

The linkjoy support team is trained to identify players who may need assistance and is ready to connect you with the right professional support resources.

What Is Responsible Gaming?

Responsible gaming doesn't mean you can't have fun. It means playing with awareness — knowing your limits, playing with money you can afford to lose, and not letting gaming interfere with your daily life, relationships, or finances.

At linkjoy, we believe online gaming can be a healthy entertainment activity when done the right way. Just like watching a movie, dining out, or travelling — it is spending on entertainment, and like all forms of entertainment, it needs to be managed wisely.

A reality we must face together: a small number of players may develop problems with gaming if they are not careful. This is not a sign of weakness — it can happen to anyone. What matters is recognising the early signs and acting before things get worse.

Responsible Gaming Principles

1
Play for Entertainment, Not Income

Treat money spent on gaming as an entertainment cost — just like a cinema ticket or a dinner out. Never play with the expectation of generating a steady income from gaming.

2
Set a Budget Before Playing

Decide how much you are willing to spend before starting a gaming session. Once that limit is reached, stop — even if you feel you are "almost winning".

3
Do Not Chase Losses

This is the most common trap. After a loss, the urge to "win it back" can lead to even greater losses. Accept losses as the cost of entertainment and walk away calmly.

4
Balance with Other Activities

Gaming should make up only a small part of your leisure time, not your main activity. Make sure you still set aside time for family, friends, work, and other hobbies.

5
Do Not Play When Emotionally Unstable

Playing while stressed, angry, sad, or intoxicated can lead to poor decisions. Wait until you are in a clear and stable state of mind.

Remember: The odds in casino games always favour the house in the long run. No strategy can change this mathematical fact. Play because it's entertaining, not because you want to "beat the system".

Signs Alerts to Watch Out For

Recognise these signs in yourself or someone close to you. If you identify more than three of the signs below, it is time to speak with someone.

Feeling the need to keep gaming activity secret from family or friends

Borrowing money or selling belongings to fund gaming

Unable to stop playing even when you have intended to do so

Neglecting work, family, or financial responsibilities due to gaming

Constantly thinking about gaming even while doing other activities

Playing with increasingly larger amounts to get the same level of excitement

Feeling restless, irritable, or uncomfortable when unable to play

Using gaming as a way to escape problems or negative emotions

Chasing losses in the hope of breaking even in the next session

Tools Control Available on linkjoy

Deposit Limit

Set the maximum deposit amount allowed within a daily, weekly, or monthly period. Limits take effect immediately and can only be decreased — not increased — at the same time. Any request to raise a limit requires a mandatory 7-day waiting period.

Loss Limit

Set the maximum loss amount allowed within a given period. When the loss limit is reached, your account will be automatically blocked from making new deposits until the relevant period ends. This is an effective safety net to prevent significant losses.

Session Time Limit

Set a time limit for each gaming session. When the time limit is reached, the system will display a notification and ask you to confirm whether you wish to continue or stop. This helps you stay aware of how long you have been playing.

Cooling-Off Period

Need a short break? Activate a cooling-off period ranging from 24 hours to 6 months. During this time, you cannot log in or make any transactions. This differs from self-exclusion — it is a temporary break that can end once the minimum period has passed.

Self-Exclusion

A more serious option — permanently or long-term close access to your account (6 months, 1 year, or permanently). During this period, you will not receive any marketing communications from linkjoy and cannot open a new account.

Account Activity Review

Access detailed reports on your gaming activity — total deposits, total withdrawals, wins, losses, and time played for any period you choose. This information helps you make an honest assessment of your playing habits.

Assessment Self Simple

Answer the following questions honestly. If more than 3 answers are "Yes", we recommend speaking with someone or using the available control tools.

Have you ever played longer or spent more than you planned?
Have you ever tried to hide your gaming activity from loved ones?
Has gaming ever interfered with your work, school, or family responsibilities?
Have you ever borrowed money to play or to pay off gambling debts?
Have you ever felt the need to play with larger amounts to get the same level of excitement?
Do you play to escape problems, stress, or feelings of discomfort?
Have you ever felt guilty or regretful after playing?

These questions are adapted from the PGSI (Problem Gambling Severity Index) questionnaire widely used by mental health professionals. They are intended to help you assess yourself, not to diagnose any medical condition.

FAQ Responsible Gaming

No. Self-exclusion on linkjoy cannot be reversed before the set period ends. This is an intentional protective measure — if you could cancel it easily, it would not function as effective protection. For temporary self-exclusion (6 months, 1 year), the account will be automatically reactivated after the period ends, and you will need to contact support to confirm continuation. Permanent self-exclusion is final.

All valid cash balances in your account will be processed for withdrawal to your registered bank account before the self-exclusion takes full effect. This process takes a few business days. Any bonuses that have not met the wagering requirements will be forfeited. Our support team will contact you to confirm the withdrawal details once your self-exclusion request is received.

Yes, deposit limits can be increased, but under strict conditions. Any request to raise a deposit limit requires a mandatory 7-day waiting period before the change takes effect. This gives you time to reconsider your decision. Lowering a deposit limit, however, takes effect immediately with no waiting period. This policy ensures the control tools genuinely serve as effective safeguards.

linkjoy uses a monitoring system that detects risky playing patterns such as sudden increases in deposit frequency or amounts, very long gaming sessions, "chasing losses" behaviour, and abrupt changes in playing habits. When the system detects these patterns, our trained support team will proactively reach out to the player concerned to offer support and information about the available control tools.

We understand your concern and appreciate your care for the wellbeing of your loved one. While we are unable to disclose account information to third parties (including family members) under our privacy policy, we can provide you with resources and guidance on how to approach someone who may be experiencing a gambling problem. Contact our support team and we will help direct you to the appropriate resources.
