Our principles
Gaming should always be entertainment. We build for that, never for harm. Every Habanero title carries clear win/loss information, transparent RTP ratings, and the controls operators need to keep players in charge of their session.
What's built into every game
- Transparent RTP: every title's theoretical Return-To-Player is disclosed in-game and on its game sheet.
- Session reminders: elapsed playtime, total wagered and total won are surfaced on demand. Operators can configure forced reality-check intervals per jurisdiction.
- Deposit, loss and time limits: exposed through the integration so the operator's wallet enforces them before a spin is allowed.
- Self-exclusion hooks: every Habanero game respects the operator's self-exclusion list and locally registered self-exclusion registers (GAMSTOP, SPELPAUS, ROFUS, ADM, ONJN, etc.).
- Age verification: no Habanero content launches without the operator confirming the player is of legal gambling age in their jurisdiction.
- No auto-play in restricted markets: auto-spin and bonus-buy features are removed for markets where regulation requires.
Advice for players
- Set a budget for entertainment and never chase losses.
- Treat any money you win as a bonus, not as a stream of income.
- Take regular breaks. Stop playing when it stops being fun.
- Never play under the influence of alcohol, medication or strong emotions.
- Tell someone you trust if gambling is becoming a problem, and use the resources below.
