Responsible Gambling at Westace
Gambling should remain an occasional form of entertainment. At Westace, we encourage players to make informed decisions, set clear limits and recognise when it may be time to stop.
Casino games and sports betting involve financial risk. They should never be viewed as a reliable source of income or a way to solve money problems. No result is guaranteed, and every player should only use funds they can comfortably afford to lose.
Keeping Your Play Under Control
Setting boundaries before you begin is easier than trying to regain control later. A few practical habits can help keep gambling within reasonable limits:
- Decide how much money you are prepared to spend before playing.
- Do not use funds intended for bills, food, rent or other essential expenses.
- Set a time limit and take regular breaks.
- Do not chase losses or increase your spending after an unsuccessful session.
- Avoid gambling when you are upset, tired or under the influence of alcohol or other substances.
- Keep track of your deposits, wagers and overall playing time.
- Never borrow money for gambling.
If playing no longer feels enjoyable, step away from the platform. Players can also request a temporary break or self-exclusion through the Westace support section.
Temporary Breaks and Self-Exclusion
Self-exclusion is intended for players who want to stop gambling for a defined period or close their account for responsible gambling reasons. A request can be submitted through customer support on the official website.
When requesting self-exclusion, players should also identify any other accounts they may hold and avoid creating new ones. Westace will take reasonable measures to apply the restriction, but the player must not attempt to bypass it by using different personal details, devices or payment methods.
Recognising Harmful Gambling Behaviour
It is not always easy to notice when gambling habits are changing. Consider the following questions honestly:
- Has gambling caused you to miss work, school or other responsibilities?
- Do you gamble mainly because you are bored, stressed or trying to avoid personal problems?
- Do you often play alone for long periods?
- Have family members or friends expressed concern about your gambling?
- Have you lost interest in relationships, hobbies or everyday activities?
- Have you hidden how much time or money you spend gambling?
- Have you borrowed, taken or misused money to continue playing?
- Do you avoid spending money on ordinary needs because you want to keep it for gambling?
- Do you continue until your available balance is gone?
- Do you feel an urgent need to recover losses immediately?
- Do you feel anxious, desperate or angry when you cannot gamble?
- Do arguments, disappointment or frustration make you want to play?
- Has gambling contributed to depression, hopelessness or thoughts of self-harm?
Answering yes to several of these questions may indicate that gambling is becoming harmful. Stop playing and speak with an independent support organisation or a qualified health professional.
If you are experiencing thoughts of self-harm or feel that you are in immediate danger, contact your local emergency service or crisis support provider without delay.

Protection of Minors
Westace is available only to people aged 18 or older who have reached the legal gambling age in their jurisdiction. Minors are not permitted to register, deposit funds or use an account.
Age and identity checks may be carried out at registration, during account activity or before a withdrawal. An account created or used by an underage person may be closed, and related transactions may be reviewed in accordance with the platform terms.
Parental Controls and Shared Devices
Parents and guardians can use filtering software to limit access to gambling websites. This is particularly important when a computer, tablet or mobile device is shared with children or other people who are not permitted to gamble.
Useful precautions include:
- using a separate password-protected user profile;
- not saving casino login details in the browser;
- logging out after every session;
- keeping payment information private;
- installing parental-control or website-filtering software.
One available filtering service is Net Nanny:
