At The Island Game (the "Company" or "we"), we want all of our customers to enjoy gaming as a planned and budgeted entertainment option – like an evening out for dinner, the theater, a concert or a sporting event. However, as with many other things in life, it is possible to get too much of a good thing and we realize that not individuals exercise the same amount of caution and control. Moderation is the key for all who gamble.
Never gamble when it interferes with work or family responsibilities, when in recovery for addictive disorders or dependencies, when the gambling is illegal, or when trying to make up for prior gambling losses. Excessive use of alcohol when gambling can be risky. Irresponsibly using alcohol can affect a person's judgment and interfere with the ability to adhere to predetermined limits.
It is illegal for anyone under 18 to hold an account, be in the Web Shop's premises and participate in any gaming activities for money at The Island Game.
TIG requires all customers to be 18 years or older. We perform a verification check and require valid identifcation to validate the age and identity of all customers during the account opening process. TIG actively monitors for underage accounts and uses a variety of tools to verify information. TIG never engages in advertising directed at minors. We reserve the right to refuse entry to our premises, ask for age verification information from customers., and suspend customer's accounts until the requested information that verifies appropriate age to our satisfaction is received.
Unfortunately, no system is foolproof. If you know a person under 18 who is registered with TIG, or enters the premises to gamble, please notify our Customer Compliance Service team 457-HELP - 457-4357). If a person with an account is found to be under the age of 18, such person's account will be terminated.
If there are children under 18 who have access to your computer, you may want to consider installing parental control software to prevent access to online gaming sites and other material, such as:

Most gamblers are casual players – they do it for fun and entertainment. Experts agree that casual gambling with affordable wagers can be a harmless, enjoyable pastime. Responsible gamblers understand that gambling entails risk. That is why gambling responsibly means setting predetermined, acceptable limits. People who set responsible limits are gambling with funds they can afford to lose. Those limits differ from person to person, according to their financial situations. Setting those limits – and sticking to them – is crucial. A player can establish his own limits and provide direction to others by developing a set of personal guidelines to determine whether, when, and how much to gamble.
A customer can set the following limits on their account:
Wager Limit
Loss Limit
Deposit Limit
Withdrawal Limit
A customer wishing to set any of the above limits can pre-set their limits online, and then submit such a request on a Self Imposed Limits (SIL) Form to TIG's Customer Compliance Representatives. A customer may change or remove the limits that they have set at any time by written notice to TIG. Any changes to limits set shall become effective 24 hours after TIG has received proper written notice. Any notice received to reduce a limit set shall become effective immediately. For more information on setting self-imposed limits and what it means click HERE.
If, at any stage, a player becomes concerned about his gambling, he can make an application to be self-excluded from all gaming activities. For more information on self-exclusion click HERE.

We are confident that the majority of our customers game responsibly and are in control of their actions, however we recognize that there may be some individuals that would like the option to limit their gaming activities without fully excluding themselves from the game.
Therefore, in addition to our voluntary self-exclusion option, we have put in place a Self-Imposed Gaming Limits Option to encourage responsible gaming.
This option allows individuals to voluntarily place limits on their gaming activities at The Island Game and take control of their playing experience. Limits can be placed as follows:
Deposit Limit: A limit to the amount you may deposit to your account during a specified period of time;
Loss Limit: A limit to the maximum amount that may be lost on any number of gaming transactions (lottery) or during any specified period of time;
Bet Limit: A limit to any wager (Sports betting)
Island Game customers wishing to place limits on their gaming activity must complete the Self Imposed Limits form, and submit it in person to our Customer Compliance Department on Wulff Road. The form must be delivered by the individual account holder, and must be accompanied by a valid, acceptable form of identification. ( Valid Passport,, a valid driver's licence, or a Voters' Card in the name of the account holder). The SIL Form noted above must be completely filled out, as it includes the information listed below:
Name of account holder, (which must match Identification document)
Account number(s)
Limit or limits to be placed on the account
Specific time period for each limit set
Signature of the Account Holder
Once you have reached any limit placed on your account our system will send a warning message to any display screen currently accessing your account indicating that your limit has been reached. Once this happens, The Island Game will not accept any deposits, permit any losses or accept any bets, which are in excess of any limits identified in the notice. Persons requesting that a limit to be set to zero will not be subject to any direct marketing or promotions of gaming offerings.
We at the Island Game take responsible gaming seriously, and therefore at no time will any or our sales persons, customer service representatives or marketing personnel encourage any customer who has set limits to their accounts to increase or remove them. Individuals who have set a limit to their account, who may now be desirous of changing or removing that limit must submit in writing, to the Customer Compliance Department, a request that the limit(s) be amended or removed. Any all requests for the increase or removal of a limit will not take effect until 24 hours after said request has been received by the Customer Compliance Representative. Requests for the reduction of a limit takes effect upon receipt of the written request. The time period for your self-imposed limit(s) is your decision entirely. All limits however, must be set for a period of no less than thirty-days.
