We’re committed to this

An awesome time - always. That’s what we strive for at Whamoo. Every gaming session should give you that Whamoo feeling. We can only make this happen in a secure and responsible gaming environment. So that’s what we work for - around the clock. Ever feel it gets too serious, and the fun stops? Read about our tips, tools, and resources to fight compulsive gambling.

Tips for all players

We like to keep it fun. But even more so, we like you to keep it fun. Here are some tips to do this:

Gambling is and should only be a fun pastime. Never use it as an investment to make money.
You win some, you lose some. It’s literally part of the game. Accept this. Never chase losses.
Set a time and spending limit before you start - and stick to it.
Use only spare money to gamble. Never wager money meant for other purposes.
Are you emotional or under the influence of alcohol or drugs? Don’t gamble - at least not with real money.
Learn a game and its rules before wagering real money. Read up on tips, strategies, and the house edge. Try a game for free first.

Try games for free

New to our games? Try them for free. You don’t even need an account for that. You’ll learn the rules and features, but won’t risk losing any money. You can do this with all games except our Live Casino games.

Our mission against underage gambling

When you gamble, you’re responsible for the consequences. That’s why you must be of legal gambling age in your jurisdiction to place real money bets at Whamoo. You must agree to our Terms and Conditions, and we’ll verify your identity and age. We do everything to make sure we don’t attract minors, and that they don’t play at Whamoo. And you can help as well.

What you can do to stop minors form gambling

Help us in our mission against underage gambling. Prevent minors in your home from gambling. Read these tips:

Use child protection software to block gambling sites.
Never leave minors unattended when you play at Whamoo.
Keep minors from using your payment methods.
Don’t use the “Save Password” or “Keep me logged in” option on gaming websites.
Are you using a public computer or are you in a public place? Be alert for minors around you.
Create separate user profiles for your children on your home computer(s), so they can’t reach (your) gambling websites.
