Six Core Pillars Responsible Gambling at 8bet

Our comprehensive approach ensures every player enjoys a safe and controlled betting experience

Strict Age Verification

8bet enforces a minimum age requirement of 18 for all users. A thorough KYC process ensures no underage individuals can access our platform. Identity verification is completed before any financial transaction is processed.

Self-Control Tools

We provide a range of easy-to-use self-control tools accessible directly from your account — including deposit limits, loss limits, play time limits, and a temporary break option. All controls are available 24 hours a day with no need to contact support.

Self-Exclusion

For players who feel they need a more serious break, 8bet offers a full self-exclusion option for periods ranging from 1 month to permanent. Excluded accounts cannot access any games throughout the duration of the exclusion.

Loss & Deposit Limits

Set daily, weekly, or monthly limits on your deposits and losses. These limits take effect immediately and cannot be increased within 24 hours of being changed — giving you control that truly matters.

Play Time Limit

Set the maximum duration for each of your playing sessions. Once the time limit is reached, the 8bet system will automatically notify you and can end the session based on your chosen settings.

Support & Assistance

The 8bet support team is trained to assist players who need guidance on responsible gambling. We are here to listen and connect you with the right resources — without judgment.

Gambling should be enjoyable entertainment, not a source of stress or financial difficulty. If you or someone you know needs help, the 8bet team is available at any time via live chat on the platform.

What Is Responsible Gaming?

Responsible gambling refers to a set of values, practices, and controls that keep gambling activities a healthy and controlled form of entertainment. This concept involves not only individual players but also the responsibility of platforms like 8bet to provide a safe and fair environment.

At 8bet, responsible gaming means we:

  • Ensuring every player understands the risks involved in gambling before they start playing
  • Providing tools that help players manage their spending and playing time
  • Identifying players who may be experiencing problems and proactively offering assistance
  • Strictly enforcing age limits and preventing access by individuals vulnerable to risk
  • Ensuring all games are fair, transparent, and free from manipulation

Responsible gambling starts with a clear decision: you play for fun, not to cope with financial pressure or escape from problems. When you hold the right perspective, your experience playing at 8bet will be far more enjoyable and meaningful.

Remember — money you use for gambling should be disposable funds you can afford to lose without affecting your daily needs or financial responsibilities. That is the foundation of healthy and responsible gambling.

Problem Gambling Warning Signs

One of the most important steps in responsible gambling is recognising the early signs of a gambling problem. Here are some warning signs to watch for in yourself or those around you:

Behavioural Signs
  • Feeling the need to gamble with larger amounts to get the same level of excitement
  • Unable to stop even after planning to do so
  • Borrowing money or selling assets to fund gambling
  • Lying to family members about gambling habits
  • Neglecting work, family, or financial responsibilities
Emotional & Mental Signs
  • Feeling restless, irritable, or stressed when unable to gamble
  • Gambling as a way to escape problems or negative emotions
  • Constantly thinking about ways to obtain money to gamble
  • Feeling guilty after gambling but continuing to do so anyway
  • Believing you can "win back" money that has already been lost

If you recognise two or more of the signs above in yourself, we encourage you to reach out to the 8bet support team or use the self-control tools we provide. There is no shame in asking for help — it is a sign of courage and wisdom.

8bet Self-Control Tools

8bet provides a comprehensive set of self-control tools, easily accessible directly from your account settings. All tools are designed to empower you to manage your gaming experience:

1
Deposit Limit

Set the maximum amount you can deposit within a daily, weekly, or monthly period. Limits take effect immediately; reductions apply instantly while increases require a 24-hour cooling-off period.

2
Loss Limit

Cap the maximum amount you can lose within a set period. Once this limit is reached, the system will automatically block any further wagering until the limit period resets or you make a revision.

3
Play Time Limit

Set the maximum duration for each session or your total daily playing time. The system will send a notification when the limit is approaching and can automatically end the session based on your preference.

4
Temporary Break

If you feel you need a short break, the temporary break option lets you lock your account for 24 hours, 48 hours, one week, or one month without going through the full self-exclusion process.

All these tools are accessible through the Account Settings > Responsible Gambling on the 8bet platform. If you need help setting any of these limits, our live support team is available at any time.

How to Set Limits in Your 8bet Account

Setting limits in your 8bet account is a straightforward process that can be done in just a few steps. Here is a step-by-step guide:

1
Login to Your Account

Access your 8bet account using your registered username and password. Always use your personal device to keep your account secure.

2
Go to Account Settings

Click on your profile icon in the top-right corner of the screen, then select "Account Settings" from the dropdown menu that appears.

3
Choose Responsible Gambling

On the Account Settings page, look for the "Responsible Gaming" or "Self-Control" section and click on it to view all available options.

4
Set Limits as Needed

Select the type of limit you want to set — deposit, loss, playing time, or a temporary break. Enter the appropriate value and choose the limit period (daily, weekly, or monthly).

5
Confirm Changes

Review the limits you have set and click the "Confirm" button to activate them. You will receive an email confirmation that your limits have been successfully applied.

Self-Exclusion

Self-exclusion is a more serious option for players who feel they need to stop gambling entirely for an extended period. 8bet offers self-exclusion across several different durations:

  • 1-Month Exclusion: Your account will be fully locked for 30 days. No access to games or deposits is permitted during this period.
  • 3-Month Exclusion: Extended protection of 90 days for players who need a more meaningful break.
  • 6-Month Exclusion: An option for players who want to seriously reconsider their gambling habits.
  • 1-Year Exclusion: A stronger break period lasting a full 12 months.
  • Permanent Exclusion: Permanent account closure. This option cannot be reversed and you will not be able to re-register using the same details.

During the self-exclusion period, 8bet will ensure you do not receive any marketing or promotional communications. Any valid credit balance in your account will be processed for withdrawal in accordance with established procedures.

Self-exclusion takes effect immediately upon submission. If you wish to reverse the exclusion before the period ends (except for permanent exclusion), you will need to contact the support team and go through a 7-day safety cooling-off period.

Child Protection

8bet takes child protection extremely seriously. Our platform is strictly intended for individuals aged 18 and above, and we enforce multiple measures to prevent access by children or minors.

If you share a device with younger family members, we recommend the following additional steps:

  • Log out every time: Always log out of your 8bet account after each session, especially if the device is shared.
  • Strong password: Use a unique, hard-to-guess password for your 8bet account. Never share your password with anyone.
  • Two-factor authentication: Enable 2FA in your account for an added layer of protection that prevents unauthorized access.
  • Parental control software: Consider installing parental control software on shared devices to block access to gambling websites.
  • Keep your login details secure: Do not save your login credentials in browsers on shared devices, and never write down your login details somewhere easily visible.

If you suspect that a child or teenager has accessed the 8bet platform, please contact our support team immediately so that appropriate action can be taken without delay.

Smart Play Tips at 8bet

Here are some practical guidelines to help you enjoy your gaming experience at 8bet in a healthy and responsible way:

  • Set a budget before playing: Decide how much you are willing to spend before starting a session. Think of this money as the cost of entertainment, just like buying a movie ticket or going out for dinner.
  • Don't chase losses: If you have reached your loss limit, stop playing. Attempts to "win back" lost money often lead to even greater losses.
  • Take regular breaks: Avoid overly long gaming sessions. Set a time limit and stick to it. Taking breaks helps you make smarter decisions.
  • Don't play when you're stressed: Gambling is not a solution to emotional or financial problems. Playing while stressed, angry, or upset often leads to poor decisions.
  • Understand the games you play: Take time to understand the rules and winning odds of each game before betting with real money.
  • Balance gambling with other activities: Keep gambling as just a small part of your leisure time. Maintain a healthy balance with hobbies, family, and other social activities.
  • Monitor your account regularly: Review your game history and transactions regularly to ensure you are always aware of your spending patterns.

Responsible gambling is not about never losing — it is about making smart choices, staying in control, and enjoying the experience without letting it affect the important areas of your life.
