Responsible Gambling at Rise of Orpheus

At Rise of Orpheus, we believe that gaming should be an exhilarating journey into the Greek underworld, filled with entertainment and excitement. To ensure this remains a positive experience for everyone, we are deeply committed to promoting responsible gambling. This commitment is woven into the very fabric of our game's design and our operational philosophy, ensuring a safe, fair, and transparent environment for players, and a compliant, trustworthy product for casino operators.

Developed by Play'n GO, a leading provider renowned for its dedication to responsible game design, Rise of Orpheus adheres to the highest industry standards. We understand that while the vast majority of players enjoy our game responsibly, for some, gambling can become problematic. This page provides essential information, tools, and support to help maintain control and seek assistance if needed.

Our Commitment to Fair and Transparent Gaming

The integrity of Rise of Orpheus is paramount. We ensure that every spin is genuinely random and every payout is transparent, building trust with both players and operators.

Technical Certifications and Game Transparency

Certified Random Number Generator (RNG): All outcomes in Rise of Orpheus, from symbol spins to feature triggers, are determined by a sophisticated, independently certified Random Number Generator. This ensures complete fairness and unpredictability, guaranteeing that every play is truly random. Our RNG is rigorously tested and audited by leading independent bodies such as eCOGRA, GLI, and iTech Labs.
Return to Player (RTP): Rise of Orpheus is built to support various certified Return to Player (RTP) settings, typically ranging from 96.20% down to 88.20%, as configured by licensed casino operators for their specific markets. The exact RTP for your gameplay will always be clearly displayed within the game rules at your chosen casino. These RTPs are thoroughly audited to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements.
Volatility: Rise of Orpheus features a dynamic volatility profile, often categorised as medium to high. This means players can anticipate a balanced gameplay experience with a mix of regular smaller wins and the exciting potential for larger payouts, up to a maximum of 3000 times your bet.
Clear Betting Range: Our game offers a flexible and transparent betting range, from a minimum of £0.30 to a maximum of £0.80 per spin, with clear, easy-to-understand increments (£0.30, £0.40, £0.50, £0.60, £0.80). This allows players to easily manage and control their stakes.
No Exploitative Mechanics: In line with Play'n GO's responsible design philosophy, Rise of Orpheus does not feature "Bonus Buy" options or any other mechanics designed to encourage excessive or impulsive spending.

Responsible Game Design Principles in Rise of Orpheus

We've meticulously designed Rise of Orpheus to be inherently responsible, focusing on clear communication and player control:

Visible Balance and Bets: Your current balance and active bet are always clearly displayed on the main game screen, allowing you to easily track your spending.
Accessible Information: A dedicated "Info" button provides instant access to game rules, paytables, and feature explanations in plain language.
Player Control over Pace: The "Fast Play" option in the settings panel is entirely optional. Players can easily toggle it off to enjoy a more deliberate and controlled gaming pace.
Accessibility Features: Rise of Orpheus incorporates accessibility best practices, including symbols differentiated by both colour and shape, high-contrast UI elements, clearly displayed numbers, and keyboard support (Spacebar to spin) for an inclusive gaming experience.
Unfinished Games Protocol: In the event of an interrupted game, all unfinished sessions for Rise of Orpheus are stored securely for 90 days, allowing players to resume their game and resolve any outstanding bets without loss.

Responsible Gaming Tools & Player Protection

While we provide the game, our licensed casino partners offer robust tools to help you manage your play responsibly. Rise of Orpheus is fully integrated to support these essential features:

Deposit Limits: Set daily, weekly, or monthly limits on how much money you can deposit.
Loss Limits: Define a maximum amount you are willing to lose over a set period.
Session Time Limits: Control how long you play by setting limits on individual gaming sessions, often accompanied by automatic logout.
Reality Checks: Receive pop-up reminders at regular intervals (e.g., every 15, 30, or 60 minutes) detailing your session duration and losses/wins.
Self-Exclusion: If you need a break from gambling, you can self-exclude for a specified period (e.g., 6 months, 1 year, 5 years) or permanently. Rise of Orpheus fully supports integration with national self-exclusion systems like GAMSTOP in the UK.
Visible Clocks: Our game interface includes a visible clock, helping you keep track of time spent playing.
Minimum Delay Between Rounds: To prevent rapid, impulsive play, Rise of Orpheus maintains a minimum delay between game rounds.

We encourage all players to utilise these tools available at their chosen casino to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience with Rise of Orpheus.

Understanding Problem Gambling: Signs and Advice

Gambling should always be for entertainment. If it stops being fun, or if you feel it's impacting your life negatively, it's crucial to recognise the signs and seek help.

Signs of Problem Gambling:

If you experience any of the following, please consider seeking support:

Playing longer than planned.
Spending more money than you can afford.
Chasing losses – trying to win back money you've lost.
Lying to loved ones about the time or money spent on gambling.
Feeling anxious, stressed, guilty, or depressed because of gambling.
Borrowing money to gamble or to pay gambling debts.
Neglecting work, studies, family responsibilities, or social activities due to gambling.
Having arguments with family or friends about your gambling.

Educational Advice for Responsible Play:

Set a budget: Decide how much money you can afford to lose before you start playing and stick to it. Never gamble with money you can't afford to lose.
Set a time limit: Decide how long you will play for and stick to it. Take regular breaks – at least 15 minutes every hour.
Never gamble under the influence: Avoid playing when you are stressed, upset, or under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
Gambling is entertainment: Remember that gambling is a form of entertainment, not a way to make money or solve financial problems.
Don't chase losses: Accept that losses are part of the game and never try to win back what you've lost.

Self-Assessment Test

If you're concerned about your gambling habits, take a moment to honestly answer these questions. This is a guide, not a diagnosis.

1. How often do you play longer than you intended?
2. Have you ever borrowed money to gamble or to pay gambling debts?
3. Have you been criticised by others about your gambling?
4. Have you felt guilty about the way you gamble or what happens when you gamble?
5. Have you ever tried to win back money you've lost by gambling more?
6. Does gambling ever cause you to neglect your personal needs or those of your family?
7. Have you ever lied to cover up the amount of money or time you have spent gambling?
8. Have you ever considered self-exclusion or stopping gambling entirely?
9. Do you feel anxious or irritable when you try to cut down or stop gambling?
10. Has gambling ever caused you any financial problems?

Result Interpretation:

0-2 points: Low risk. You likely have control over your gambling.
3-5 points: Moderate risk. We recommend setting strict limits and monitoring your play closely.
6+ points: High risk. We strongly recommend seeking professional help immediately.

Age Restrictions and Minor Protection

18+ | Gambling can be addictive | Play responsibly

Our products, including Rise of Orpheus, are strictly intended for persons over the age of 18 (or 21 in some specific jurisdictions). We require all our casino operator partners to implement robust age verification systems to prevent underage gambling. Our games include age restriction warnings and cannot be launched without appropriate age confirmation.

We actively support technical protection measures, including integration with leading age verification systems, and the blocking of demo versions for unverified users. We are committed to compliance with all Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) requirements.

Playing Rise of Orpheus in Demo Mode

The demo version of Rise of Orpheus available on this site mirrors the real-money game's mechanics and certified RTP settings. This allows you to experience the game's features and understand its dynamics without financial risk. While playing, a clear "DEMO MODE" label will be visible. Please remember that playing for free is different from playing with real money. We provide educational messages about the risks of real gambling when transitioning from demo to real play, encouraging you to always play responsibly.

Our dedicated support team is available to assist with integration and provide training materials for your staff, ensuring your players always have access to the necessary protective measures.
