A reality check is a simple reminder that pops up while you play, prompting you to take a breather and notice how long you have been going. It is a light, helpful way to stay aware of your time. Here is how to turn it on.
Turning on a reality check
Figure 1: the Reality check toggle on the Responsible Gambling tab
1. Open your account menu, choose Settings, then the Responsible Gambling tab.
2. Switch on Reality check.
3. Choose how often you would like to be reminded. From then on, a reminder appears at that interval while you play.
Once selected, your option displays on the page.
A nudge, not an interruption
A reality check simply reminds you to pause and take stock. It is one of the easiest ways to keep your play feeling comfortable, and you can change how often it appears, or turn it off, at any time.
Good to know
Pick an interval that suits you. Choose how frequently the reminder appears so it fits how you like to play.
Change or remove it any time. You can adjust the interval or switch the reality check off whenever you like; our separate guide covers removing it.
