Responsible Gaming
At San Juan Marriott Stellaris Casino, we take responsible gaming seriously and want to help you have a safe and enjoyable experience on our platforms.
Safe and Balanced Gaming Habits
Gaming is meant to be enjoyed! To maintain balanced habits:
- Set aside time for other activities beyond gaming
- Prioritize personal well-being and health
- Recognize when you're tired or emotional, and take breaks
- Respect the odds - no game is guaranteed to win every time
Gaming as Entertainment Rather Than Income
Don't rely on gaming wins for financial support. View them as a form of entertainment.
- Don’t spend more than you can afford to lose
- Understand that losses are part of gaming, and don't get discouraged by them
- Have realistic expectations about your chances of winning
- Never chase losses with increased bets
Budget and Bankroll Management
Effective budgeting is key:
- Set a separate bank account for gaming funds
- Limit the amount you can deposit or withdraw within specific periods (more on this in "Deposit, Loss, Wager, and Session Limits")
- Monitor your spending regularly to stay within limits
- Avoid using credit cards for gaming deposits
Deposit, Loss, Wager, and Session Limits
We've implemented several tools to help you manage your gameplay:
- Deposits: Set a deposit limit to restrict the amount of money that can be deposited into your account within a specified period.
- Loss limits: Allow you to set a maximum loss for a specific period or session.
- Wager limits: Restrict the amount of money you can wager on individual games or sessions.
- Session limits: Set the maximum time you spend playing during one gaming session.
You can adjust these limits at any time through your account settings. If you feel overwhelmed, take advantage of our cooling-off periods (more information below).
Reality Checks and Time Reminders
We're here to remind you when it's time for a break:
- Reality checks: Scheduled notifications will prompt you to pause or leave the gaming session.
- Time reminders: Receive alerts if your gameplay exceeds specified times, helping you maintain balanced habits.
Cooling-Off Periods and Self-Exclusion Tools
If needed, take control of your experience with our cooling-off tools:
- Temporary self-exclusion: Block access to San Juan Marriott Stellaris Casino for a set period (minimum 24 hours).

- Don’t chase losses by playing more games than intended
Manage your bonuses wisely, ensuring they complement your gaming experience without exacerbating issues.
Safer Gaming During Slots, Live Casino, Sportsbook, and Promotional Play
When engaging in specific types of play:
- Slots: Avoid continuous plays; take breaks to prevent monotony
- Live casino: Maintain a balanced level of social interaction (avoid isolation)
- Sports betting: Understand the risks involved, especially when making multiple bets
- Promotions: Don't get caught up in excessive promotional offers that can lead to over-gambling
We offer resources for more information on each type.
Mobile Gaming Awareness and Family/Device Protection Measures
Stay mindful while gaming anywhere:
- Set screen timeouts and app limits to maintain a balance between gaming and other activities
- Encourage responsible family members or loved ones not to join you in gaming sessions (they may inadvertently enable problematic behavior)
- Consider setting up parental controls for devices accessed by young users
