Reality Check
A responsible-gambling tool that pops up a notification after a set amount of time in a game, showing session length and net win/loss, so a player can decide whether to continue.
Why it matters
Reality checks interrupt the kind of time-distortion that's common in slot and live-casino play — a quiet nudge back to the fact that time and money are passing.
Examples
- A UKGC-licensed operator might default to a reality check every 60 minutes for slots.
- Reality checks are usually adjustable but not always removable entirely, depending on the operator's licensing requirements.
