24. Responsible Gambling
Scout wants to ensure that its Clients gamble in a responsible manner, but we also acknowledge that gambling can be addictive to some and affect their lives negatively. Since we care for our Clients, and want online gaming to be an enjoyable experience, we offer various measures for a Client to gamble in a responsible manner. These can be set by the Client through the website and include the following:
–Set Limits on bets, losses and deposits
–Self-exclude for a period of minimum 6 months, 12 months and 5 years.
If you believe that you might be negatively addicted to gambling, we encourage you to seek professional help.
If you choose self-exclusion, you'll be taken out of future contests, and your entry fees for those contests will be returned to your account. For contests that have already begun, you will be unable to make changes and Scout will retain the entry fees. You can still withdraw the funds in your account and any winnings from contests that started before you chose self-exclusion.
