Responsible Gaming
At Royal Budapest Hotel & Casino, we are committed to promoting safe and responsible gaming practices. Gaming should be entertaining and enjoyable, never a source of problems.
We believe that gaming should be a form of entertainment, not a way to make money or solve financial problems. Our responsible gaming program is designed to help our guests maintain control and enjoy gaming in a safe environment.
Be aware of these potential warning signs:
- Spending more money than you can afford
- Gaming for longer periods than planned
- Borrowing money to gamble
- Neglecting work, family, or other responsibilities
- Feeling anxious or depressed about gaming
- Lying about gaming activities
- Chasing losses with bigger bets
- Gaming to escape problems or negative feelings
- Feeling restless when not gaming
- Unsuccessful attempts to stop or reduce gaming
Set Limits Before You Play
- Decide how much money you can afford to lose
- Set a time limit for your gaming session
- Never gamble with money needed for essentials
- Don't chase losses - accept them as the cost of entertainment
Take Regular Breaks
- Step away from gaming regularly
- Enjoy other hotel amenities like dining or spa services
- Spend time with friends and family
- Engage in other hobbies and activities
If you feel you need to take a break from gaming, our self-exclusion program allows you to voluntarily exclude yourself from casino activities for a specified period.
Exclusion Options:
- 24-hour cooling-off period
- 7-day exclusion
- 30-day exclusion
- 6-month exclusion
- 1-year exclusion
- Permanent exclusion
During the exclusion period, you will not be able to enter the casino or participate in any gaming activities. Hotel and other amenities remain available.
We offer various tools to help you manage your gaming spending:
Daily Limits

Weekly Limits
Control weekly gaming expenditure
Monthly Limits
