Self-Exclusion Feature

Session Time Control

Set a maximum duration for each gaming session. You will receive an automatic alert when time is up, and you will be logged out once the session limit is reached.

Deposit Limit

Set a limit on how much you can deposit within a given period. This significantly reduces the risk of overspending.

Reality Check

You will receive periodic reminder messages showing how long you have been playing and how much you have won or lost. This makes it easier to stay in control.

What does responsible gaming actually mean?

Responsible gaming means treating gaming as a form of entertainment — not as a solution to life's problems or a source of income. At a88, we believe that gaming within the right limits can be a genuinely enjoyable experience.

The core principles of responsible gaming are: Decide in advance how much money and time you will spend gaming, and stick to those limits. Winning and losing are both a normal part of gaming. However, chasing losses by playing repeatedly can become dangerous.

A88 encourages every player to make informed decisions. Use the protection tools available on our platform to keep your gaming experience safe on your own terms. Responsible Gaming This means not letting gaming negatively impact your family, work, or health.

Remember, there is no guarantee of winning from gaming. Never bet money you cannot afford to lose. By registering with a88, you have confirmed that you are over 18 and are playing of your own free will.

Keep in Mind: Gaming is for entertainment, not income. Think of every bet as money spent on fun.

Recognizing the Warning Signs

Gaming problems develop gradually. Many people do not realize at first that their habits are getting out of control. Use the levels below to understand how serious the issue may be:

Safe Gaming

You play within a set budget, accept losses when they happen, keep up with family and work, and gaming is just a small part of your life.

Low Risk

You occasionally spend more than your budget and feel a bit down after losses, but your daily life is still largely unaffected.

Moderate Problem

You keep playing to win back lost money, lie about your gaming, and find it harder to focus on family or work.

Serious Problem

Gaming on borrowed money, hiding it from family, feeling restless without gaming, unable to stop.

If you notice any signs of a moderate or serious problem, don't wait — contact the support team or activate self-exclusion right away.
