CityNow's Commitment to Responsible Gaming

From day one, citynow was built on a clear philosophy — member safety and well-being matter more than any profit. We believe a responsible gaming platform is the one its members trust the most.

CityNow's Protection Features

Six core features we provide to ensure every CityNow member plays in a safe and controlled environment.

Daily & Weekly Deposit Limit

Set your own deposit limit to keep your spending under control at all times. This limit takes effect immediately and can be lowered at any time through your account settings.

Play Time Limit

Set a time limit for your gaming sessions. When the time limit is reached, the citynow system will provide a reminder and the option to take a break or continue mindfully.

Temporary Self-Break

Need a short break? Use the Self-Break feature to pause account access for 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days without permanently closing your account.

Permanent Self-Exclusion

For members who need a longer break, the permanent self-exclusion option remains available. The account will be fully suspended and you will not be able to re-register within the specified period.

Maximum Loss Limit

Set a daily or weekly loss limit. Once this limit is reached, the system will prevent you from continuing to wager until the limit period ends — protecting you from impulsive decisions.

Free Counselling Support

The citynow support team is available 24/7. If you feel the need to talk to someone, we will refer you to a counselling expert at no charge.

1 What Is Responsible Gaming?

Responsible gaming means you play as a form of entertainment — not as a way to solve financial problems, relieve stress, or chase losses. It is about awareness, control, and balance.

At CityNow, we believe the majority of our members play in a healthy and enjoyable way. However, we also recognise that a small number of individuals may face challenges managing their playing habits. That is why we provide a range of resources and tools to help everyone play more responsibly.

Responsible gaming does not mean you cannot play or have fun — it means you play mindfully, within limits you set yourself, and always remember that it is entertainment only.

A simple principle: Set your limits before playing, stick to them, and stop when you have had enough fun — not when the money runs out.

2 Warning Signs to Watch Out For

It is important to recognise the early signs of a gambling problem before it becomes serious. Here are some warning signs to watch for in yourself or someone you care about:

  • Feeling stressed, anxious, or irritable when not playing or unable to play.
  • Frequently thinking about ways to get more money for the purpose of playing.
  • Chasing losses — continuing to play in hopes of breaking even.
  • Lying to family or friends about the time and money spent on playing.
  • Using money meant for essential needs (rent, bills, food) to gamble.
  • Failing to cut down or stop playing despite having tried multiple times.
  • Personal relationships, work, or studies have been negatively affected by playing habits.
  • Finding it more exciting when betting with increasingly larger amounts.

If you recognise two or more of the above signs in yourself, please use CityNow's self-control tools or contact our support team now.

If you suspect someone under 18 is using the CityNow platform, please contact our support team immediately. Such reports are taken seriously and will be investigated promptly.
