Responsible Gambling
Last updated: June 2026
hotelpapermoon is a travel information resource. We are not a gambling operator. We do not offer gambling services. We publish information about casino hotels as travel destinations. We include this page because the properties we cover contain casinos, and we take that seriously.
Gambling Involves Risk
Gambling is entertainment with a financial cost. The house holds a mathematical edge in every casino game. Over time, the majority of players lose money. Entering a casino with money you cannot afford to lose is a financial risk, not a leisure activity.
Before You Visit a Casino
Set a budget before you arrive. Decide in advance how much you are willing to spend on gambling, treat that amount as the cost of an evening's entertainment, and stop when it is gone. Do not chase losses. Do not gamble under the influence of alcohol or when you are in emotional distress.
Know the rules of any game before you sit down. Understanding the odds does not change them in your favour, but it prevents surprises.
Age Requirements
Minimum gambling age varies by country. We list the applicable requirement for each property in our directory. No casino will admit underage visitors to the gaming floor. Carry identification.
If Gambling Is Causing Problems
Problem gambling is a recognised condition. It responds to treatment. If gambling is affecting your finances, relationships, or mental health, support is available.

Self-Exclusion
Most licensed casinos operate self-exclusion programmes. If you want to restrict your own access to a casino, ask the property directly about their self-exclusion process. National regulators in many countries also operate multi-operator exclusion registers.
