Whether you’re spinning for a chance to land a free spins feature or a jackpot, PlayOJO helps you to play safely with the support of responsible gaming tools and resources.
Safe Mate: Your Personal Play Dashboard
Safe Mate is your wellbeing hub at OJO. We like to think of it as a kind of slots-savvy Fitbit for your play.
What PlayOJO Safe Mate shows you:
- Your total spend, wins/losses, and session time over set periods
- Your trends compared to similar players
- Your play-health check score (risk level) with helpful tips
Where to find it:
- Login
- Go to My Account → Safer Gambling → Safe Mate
Data starts showing after activation. Turn it on early to start building (and reviewing) your personal play story.
Why it matters:
Sometimes you don’t realise your play patterns are shifting until you see the stats for yourself. Safe Mate helps to keep you aware, giving you a friendly nudge when things might be off.
Time Checks and Session Control
It’s easy to lose track of time when the reels are spinning. That’s why OJO offers Game Status Reminders.
What it does:
You’ll get a pop-up reminder after 15, 30, 60 or 90 minutes of play – your call.
How to turn it on:
- Head to My Account → Game Status Reminder
- Choose your preferred interval
- Log out and then log back in for it to take effect
Tip
Pair Game Status Reminder with your PlayOJO Safe Mate stats for a full picture of your play.

Limits, History and Staying in Control
Deposit Limits:
Set PlayOJO deposit limits to avoid overspending. Choose what’s comfortable for your daily, weekly, or monthly play. Adjust limits anytime (Note: for your protection, limit increases take 24 hours to apply).
Play History:
Track all your gameplay – what you played, when you played, and the length of your gaming sessions.
Transaction History:
Easily view your deposits and withdrawals, with dates and amounts.
Where to find it:
My Account → Game Activity for gameplay
My Account → Transaction History for payments
OJO makes tracking straightforward and crystal clear-Clear visibility = better decisions.
Playing Behaviour
Check how long you’ve played for and what you’ve deposited, withdrawn and spent overall across a range of time periods. You can also see if you’re playing more or less than other players with who have a similar profile to you.
Need a Break? Cooling-Off/Freeze and Self-Exclusion
Sometimes you just need a timeout – and that’s absolutely okay.
Cooling-Off / Freeze:
Initiate short breaks ranging from a few days to up to 6 weeks. During this time, you won’t be able to log in to your account.
Self-Exclusion:
This is a longer-term break (OJO’s blog mentions a 180-day minimum). You can request a PlayOJO self-exclusion manually or apply it via your account. You can also use GAMSTOP.
Where to set it:
My Account → Player Limitation
Alternatively, you can reach out to OJO’s support if you need help choosing the right option for your situation.
