Responsible Gaming on EpicJack: Tools to Take a Break and Stay in Control
This page explains responsible gaming options on EpicJack, including how to request a 7-day cooling-off period or self-exclusion, and what these options do to your account access.
If gambling is starting to feel stressful or out of control, taking a break early is often the safest first step. If you are in immediate danger or feel unable to stop, seek urgent help from local emergency services.
For ongoing support, use the organizations listed on the responsible gaming page or your local professional services.
Responsible Gaming Basics: Staying in Control (Self-Check and First Steps)
Responsible gaming is about staying within limits you can afford and recognizing when play stops being enjoyable. The Terms encourage stopping when it stops being fun and not betting anything you can’t afford to lose.
If you are unsure where you are, start with simple steps that reduce pressure and restore control.
- Decide a budget before you play and do not exceed it.
- Set a time limit and take regular breaks.
- Stop when it stops being fun, even if you are “down”.
- Avoid chasing losses with larger bets or longer sessions.
- Play only with money you can afford to lose.
- Do not borrow money to gamble.
- Track your play (time, deposits, and mood) to spot patterns early.
- If you feel pressure or regret, choose a cooling-off period or self-exclusion.
Taking a Break: The 7-Day Cooling-Off Period (What It Is and What to Expect)
The responsible gaming page states that a 7-day cooling-off period is available. This option is meant for a short break when you want time away without a long lock.
Cooling-off is usually the best first step if you feel your play is getting too frequent, too intense, or emotionally difficult.
| Option | What It Does | Key Note |
|---|---|---|
| Cooling-off period | A short break from play | 7 days (as stated) |
| Self-exclusion | Locks the account and prevents play | Minimum 6 months; no promotional material (as stated) |
I Need a Break Today
If you want a break right now, request cooling-off and also reduce triggers on your side. Logging out and removing saved access shortcuts helps make the break real.
- Decide you want a 7-day cooling-off period.
- Message customer support and request cooling-off (include username and timestamps).
- Ask for written confirmation of the effective time.
- Log out of your account on all devices.
- Remove saved passwords locally on your device/browser if you use shared devices.
Self-Exclusion: Minimum 6 Months and What Changes on Your Account
The responsible gaming page states that self-exclusion locks your account for a minimum of 6 months and that no promotional material will be sent.
The Terms also describe that when self-exclusion is applied, the account is disabled and you can’t log in.
- Self-exclusion locks the account for a minimum of 6 months.
- Your account becomes disabled and you can’t log in during self-exclusion.
- No promotional material is sent while self-exclusion is active (as stated).

I Want to Stop Receiving Promotional Messages
Self-exclusion is stated to stop promotional material. To avoid confusion, ask support to confirm this in writing as part of your request.
If you only want to stop marketing but keep account access, use unsubscribe tools and marketing preferences instead of self-exclusion.
