Know before you play

Responsible gaming

Gaming should be optional entertainment—not a source of income, a way to recover losses or something that harms your wellbeing.

Safer-play principles

Only participate if you are an adult, meet the legal-age requirement where you are located and online gambling is lawful for you. Never borrow money to gamble or use funds needed for housing, food, bills, education, healthcare or other essentials.

  • Decide a spending limit and time limit before beginning.
  • Treat every stake as money that may be lost.
  • Do not chase losses or increase spending to change your mood.
  • Take regular breaks and keep other interests and relationships in balance.
  • Do not play while impaired, distressed or under pressure.
No outcome is guaranteedGames of chance and betting products carry a risk of financial loss. Previous results do not predict future outcomes.

Warning signs

Consider stopping and seeking support if gambling is taking more time or money than intended, causing secrecy or conflict, affecting work or sleep, being funded by borrowing, or being used to escape stress. Repeated unsuccessful attempts to cut back are also a reason to seek help.

Practical controls

Check the controls actually available inside the platform and your account. Depending on the service and region, these may include deposit limits, session reminders, cooling-off periods or self-exclusion. Bank-level gambling blocks and device/site-blocking tools may provide additional separation.

For account-specific limits, exclusions or closures, use the support and responsible-gaming channels shown inside B88. This informational landing page cannot access or change an account.

Independent support

Independent organisations provide confidential information and support. Availability and services differ by country, so select support appropriate to your location.

Underage protection

Underage gambling is prohibited. Adults should keep account credentials and payment methods private, sign out on shared devices and use device-level parental controls where appropriate. Do not allow another person to use your account.

Gambling involves risk. Play only with money you can afford to lose.
