What Is Responsible Gaming?

Responsible gaming means participating in online betting and gaming in a controlled and informed way. This includes:

  • Only play with what you can afford to lose and treat gaming as a form of entertainment
  • Keeping gaming from affecting other areas of your life — family, work, and health
  • Managing your own bankroll and time
  • Recognising the Signs of Gaming Addiction and Seeking Help

Signs of Gaming Addiction

If you're experiencing any of the following signs, it's time to seek help:

  • Being unable to stop playing or consistently playing more than you intended
  • Gambling causing damage to relationships with family, friends, or at work
  • Borrowing money or using savings to fund your gambling
  • Playing more to try to win back lost money
  • Lying about or hiding your gambling activity
  • Feeling anxious, irritable, or low when not playing
  • Gaming affecting your mental or physical health

Responsible Gaming Tips

  • Set a Budget: Before you play, decide how much money you are comfortable spending and prepared to lose
  • Set Time Limits: Decide in advance how much time you will spend playing each day or week
  • Treat It as Entertainment: Never treat gaming as a source of income or a way to pay off debts
  • Take Regular Breaks: Take a break from playing daily or weekly
  • Don't Play Alone: Gambling alone can easily develop into an addiction
  • Avoid Alcohol: Drinking while playing impairs your judgement
  • Never Borrow to Play: Do not borrow money from friends or take out loans to fund your gambling
  • Don't chase your losses: This is an early warning sign of addiction and can lead to greater harm

Responsible Gaming FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Start by setting self-limits or self-exclusion on your account. Then reach out to a professional support organisation. You can also contact 88i customer support, and they will direct you to the appropriate resources.

Self-restriction refers to temporary limits you set yourself, such as a weekly deposit cap — and these can be changed at any time. Self-exclusion means fully closing your account for a set period (at least several weeks). It's a more serious step and cannot be easily reversed.

Take their concerns seriously. Have an open conversation about the problem and encourage them to seek help. Consulting a professional is always a wise step. Many support organisations also offer services for family members.

Once your self-exclusion period ends, your account will not be reactivated automatically. You will need to submit a request to reactivate it. This gives you time to reflect and decide whether you're truly ready to play again.

We apply strict age verification at registration and check documents during the KYC process. Our system automatically attempts to identify underage users. If we discover a minor is using the platform, the account is closed immediately.

Yes, gaming addiction is recognized by international health organizations and classified as a behavioral addiction. It can affect both mental and physical health. Like other addictions, it is treatable, and professional help is effective.
Important: If you or someone you love is dealing with a gaming problem, there's no shame in that. It's a treatable condition, and thousands of people have successfully recovered. Reach out for help today.
