Responsible gambling is a cornerstone of how Savaspin operates. Player safety drives every decision we make. Therefore, we provide a full range of practical tools that help you set boundaries, monitor your habits and reach out for support whenever you need it. Gambling should stay enjoyable — and we are committed to keeping it that way for Finnish players.
Responsible Gambling Tools at Savaspin
Several built-in tools let every player customise their experience. These features sit inside your account settings or can be activated through our 24/7 live chat. Moreover, switching on any tool takes only a few minutes and the change applies promptly.

Deposit Limits — Control Your Spending
Deposit limits are one of the most effective ways to maintain a healthy gambling budget. Specifically, you can set a daily, weekly or monthly cap directly in your account settings. Alternatively, our live-chat team is available around the clock to help you. Furthermore, you select the euro amount that fits your personal budget — and the system enforces it automatically.
A reduction in your limit applies only after a mandatory cooling-off period. Consequently, this delay prevents impulsive decisions made in the heat of the moment. However, increasing a limit takes effect immediately, which gives you flexibility when circumstances change responsibly. Moreover, we strongly recommend reviewing your limits regularly to ensure they still reflect your current situation.
Furthermore, deposit limits work best when paired with your other tools. For instance, combining a deposit cap with a session time limit creates dual-layer protection. As a result, you keep clear boundaries in place without relying on willpower alone.
Self-Exclusion — Taking a Break
Sometimes stepping away from gambling is the right choice. Savaspin’s responsible gambling policy supports this fully through our self-exclusion programme. In particular, you can request a temporary pause for any period — from a few days up to several months. In addition, you may opt for permanent self-exclusion when a complete break is necessary.
To request exclusion, contact our dedicated responsible-gaming team by email at [email protected] or through 24/7 live chat. Once an exclusion is active you cannot reverse it during the agreed period — not even by contacting support. Therefore, this firm rule protects you from making in-the-moment exceptions you may later regret.
Permanent self-exclusion closes your account indefinitely. Consequently, all active bonuses and pending withdrawals are processed in line with our terms before closure. Moreover, we treat every exclusion request with urgency and handle it in full confidence.
Gambling Self-Assessment Quiz
The Gambling Self-Assessment tool is a short questionnaire that helps you reflect on your current relationship with gambling. It takes only a few minutes to complete. Indeed, honest answers give you the clearest picture of whether your habits remain recreational or have started to cause concern.
We recommend completing the quiz periodically — especially after a streak of heavy play or significant losses. Specifically, the questions cover frequency, spending patterns, emotional reactions and the impact gambling has on daily life. For example, you might be asked whether you have tried to cut back or whether gambling has caused arguments at home.
Results stay private and remain on your device. Nevertheless, they can serve as a useful starting point for a conversation with a counsellor if the answers raise concerns. Furthermore, the quiz is available on the site at any time and no login is required.
Warning Signs to Watch For
Besides taking the quiz, keep the following indicators in mind as you play:
- Chasing losses: continuing to play specifically to recover money already lost.
- Borrowing money: taking loans or asking friends and family to fund gambling sessions.
- Neglecting responsibilities: missing work, study or family duties because of gambling.
- Hiding gambling activity: lying to others about how often or how much you play.
- Irritability when not playing: feeling restless, anxious or frustrated when you stop gambling.
- Preoccupation with gambling: spending significant time planning the next session or reliving past wins.
Recognising Problem Gambling
Problem gambling usually develops gradually, and the early signs can be difficult to spot in yourself. However, awareness is the first and most important step toward getting help. Therefore, Savaspin encourages every player to stay alert to shifts in their own behaviour over time.
Certain groups face a higher risk of developing gambling problems. For instance, young adults, people with a history of addiction and anyone experiencing financial stress are particularly vulnerable. Besides personal risk factors, the social environment also plays a role — peers who gamble heavily can normalise excessive play.
If you notice any of the warning signs in yourself, act promptly. First, use the self-assessment quiz to get a clear picture of your situation. Next, consider switching on a deposit limit or session cap. Finally, if the concern feels serious, reach out to a support organisation or our responsible-gaming team at [email protected].
Support Organisations in Finland
Several dedicated Finnish organisations provide free, confidential support for people affected by problem gambling. Moreover, these services are independent of Savaspin and offer professional guidance without judgement. Therefore, we strongly encourage players to contact them whenever help is needed beyond what our tools provide.
- Peluuri (0800 100 101, peluuri.fi): the national Finnish helpline for gambling-related problems. Advisors are available by phone, chat and email, and every service is free and confidential.
- Sosped Foundation (sosped.fi): a Finnish NGO offering peer-support groups and counselling for players and their loved ones affected by gambling harm.
- A-Klinikka (a-klinikka.fi): a nationwide Finnish network of addiction clinics providing professional treatment for gambling, alcohol and other behavioural issues.
- Gamblers Anonymous: an international peer-support fellowship running on a 12-step programme. Meetings are available online and at several locations across Finland.
- Gambling Therapy (gamblingtherapy.org): a global service providing free online support, including live chat and peer-led forums.
Additionally, Finnish gambling activity is regulated through the national monopoly system operated by Veikkaus, which also coordinates harm-prevention initiatives nationally. Furthermore, your general practitioner can refer you to a specialist through the public healthcare system if more intensive treatment is needed.
Protecting Young People
Savaspin is strictly an adults-only platform. In particular, players must be at least 18 years old to register and play. In some jurisdictions the minimum age rises to 21. Moreover, we verify the age of every new player during registration and may request additional documentation at any stage to confirm eligibility.
However, we also recognise that household devices are frequently shared. Therefore, we encourage parents and guardians to install parental-control software on shared computers, tablets and mobile devices. For example, tools such as Net Nanny, Qustodio and Gamban can block access to gambling sites effectively. Besides filtering software, having open conversations with young people about the risks of gambling is equally important.
If you suspect that a minor has accessed your account, notify us immediately at [email protected]. Consequently, we will investigate at once and take appropriate action to prevent further access. Protecting young people from gambling harm is a responsibility we share with every adult in the household.
Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming
Responsible gaming is not simply a box we tick — it is a value woven into how Savaspin operates every day. Our support team receives ongoing training in spotting the signs of problem gambling and responding with care. Furthermore, our KYC and AML procedures help us identify unusual patterns that may signal gambling harm.
We monitor player activity continuously. If we notice patterns linked to problem gambling — for example extended sessions or rapid loss accumulation — we may proactively suggest tools or temporarily limit activity in the player’s best interest. Therefore, for any responsible-gaming question, contact us at [email protected] or through 24/7 live chat.
