Responsible gambling

1. First things first

Scoreo publishes statistics about live casino games. It does not offer gambling, does not promote gambling to anyone under 18, and does not want visitors who are struggling to use the casino links on the site. Every game tracked here pays back less than it takes in over time: that is what the RTP figure on each page means. Treat gambling as paid entertainment with a price, never as a way to make money.

2. What statistics cannot do

Every round of Crazy Time, Monopoly Live, Ice Fishing, Aviator and the other games we track is decided by a certified random number generator or a provably fair algorithm. Each round is independent. That has three consequences worth stating plainly:

• Nothing is ever "due". A bonus that has not landed for 60 spins is exactly as likely on the next spin as it was on the first. Our "overdue" labels compare the past with the wheel's odds; they do not raise the odds.
• Hot and cold streaks are descriptions, not forecasts. A segment that landed often this hour will not land more or less often next hour because of it.
• No predictor, app, signal channel or strategy can beat a game with a fixed house edge. The tools on this site replay the past so you can see what a bet pattern would have returned. They cannot see the next round, and neither can anyone selling predictions.

If you notice yourself waiting for a "due" result, chasing a pattern, or increasing stakes after losses, that is the gambler's fallacy at work. It is a normal way for human brains to see randomness, and it is expensive.

3. Warning signs

Problem gambling rarely arrives all at once. These are the signs professionals look for. If several apply to you, it is worth talking to someone.

• Gambling with money you need for rent, bills, food or debts, or borrowing to gamble.
• Chasing losses: going back to win money back, or raising stakes to recover faster.
• Spending more time or money than you planned, again and again.
• Hiding gambling from family or friends, or lying about how much you lose.
• Feeling restless, irritable or low when you are not gambling, or gambling to escape stress.
• Neglecting work, study, sleep or relationships because of gambling.
• Trying to cut down and not managing to.

4. Limits, time-outs and self-exclusion

Before you play, decide the amount you can afford to lose and treat it as spent. Then use the tools every licensed operator must offer:

• Deposit and loss limits in the account settings. Set them before a session, not during one, and pick a period you cannot change in the heat of the moment.
• Session and time limits. Live game shows run around the clock and a round every 40 seconds adds up.
• Reality checks that interrupt play and show how long you have been playing and what you have spent.
• Time-outs of a day to several weeks, and self-exclusion for six months or longer. In some countries one register covers every licensed operator: GamStop in the UK, BetStop in Australia, Spelpaus in Sweden, ROFUS in Denmark.
• Blocking software such as Gamban or BetBlocker stops gambling sites and apps on your devices.

Never gamble with borrowed money, on credit, or when you are upset, tired or drinking.

5. Where to get help

All of these are free and confidential. Calling is the fastest route; most also offer chat.

If your country is not listed, Gambling Therapy works everywhere and can point you to local services. If you are in immediate danger or thinking about harming yourself, contact your local emergency number now.

6. Under 18

Scoreo is for adults only. Gambling and gambling-related content are not for anyone under 18, or under the legal age where they live. Parents can use filtering tools such as Net Nanny, Qustodio or the built-in family controls on phones and computers to block gambling sites, and should keep payment details out of children's reach.

7. What Scoreo does

• Every page carries the 18+ notice and a link to this page.
• We never describe a result as predictable, never sell or promote predictions, and label past-looking statistics as exactly that.
• Casino links, where present, are marked, lead only to operators licensed for the visitor's region, and are not shown where online gambling is illegal.
• We do not run advertising networks, retargeting or any form of tracking designed to bring people back to gambling.
