Super Scatters

Responsible gambling

Super Scatters only has demo versions. You can't place a bet, make a deposit or win anything here. The virtual credits are worth nothing and can't be turned into money. Even so, the "just a few more spins" habit can start in a demo too.

A demo won't teach you to win

Slots run on a random number generator. Each spin is independent of the ones before it, and no "system" or "right time to play" changes the outcome. A demo is a good way to learn the rules, but not a way to learn how to win. A lucky run in the demo tells you nothing about the next spins.

How to keep it under control

  • Decide before you start how much you are willing to spend. Treat that money as already spent, and don't try to win back what you lose.
  • Limit your time. Set a timer before the first spin. By the time you're thinking "just a bit longer", it's too late to set one.
  • Turn on your casino's limits. At a licensed casino you can usually cap deposits, losses and session length in your account settings. You can also take a break for a day or a month there, or exclude yourself for a long period.
  • Don't play to lift your mood. If you are bored or feeling low, a slot won't help. A walk or a call to someone close to you will do more.

Warning signs

Take it seriously if you:

  • play for longer than you planned and find it hard to stop on time;
  • think about gambling for much of the day, or get irritable when you can't play;
  • hide how much time or money you spend on gambling from the people close to you;
  • try to win back losses, or borrow money to gamble;
  • notice that your work, studies, sleep or relationships are suffering because of gambling.

Even one or two of these signs are reason enough to take a break. The World Health Organization lists gambling disorder in the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-11). It is a recognized condition, and it can be treated.

Where to get help

Talk to someone you trust, and reach out to a professional. Most of the services below are free and confidential, and each one is easy to find by searching for its name.

  • Gambling Therapy. A free international online service run by the UK charity Gordon Moody. It offers one-to-one sessions with a therapist, forums and text-based support groups in many languages.
  • Gamblers Anonymous. Free self-help groups meet in many countries, and online too. Gam-Anon runs separate groups for family and friends.
  • Help where you live. Many countries have a national gambling helpline or a self-exclusion register. A register lets you exclude yourself from every operator licensed in that country in one step. Your doctor or your country's health ministry website can point you to them.
  • Blocking on your devices. The free BetBlocker app blocks gambling sites and apps on your phone and computer for a period you choose. Many banking apps also let you block payments to gambling companies.

If you have thoughts of harming yourself, call your local emergency number straight away: 112 in the EU, 911 in the US and Canada, 999 in the UK.

If you are worried about someone close to you, start with a calm, nonjudgmental conversation, and offer to look for professional help together. Family members need support too: gambling debts and worry affect the whole household.
