Responsible Gaming
888 Casino holds licences from the Gibraltar Gambling Commissioner (RGL No. 112), the UK Gambling Commission (No. 039028-R-319297-013), the Malta Gaming Authority (MGA/B2C/543/2018), and the Alderney Gambling Control Commission.
Gambling should stay in control
For many people, gambling is an occasional leisure activity. However, gambling can become difficult to manage, particularly when it is used to cope with stress, boredom, loneliness or financial pressure. Games are based on chance, and every outcome is independent. There is no guaranteed strategy, system or betting pattern that can ensure a win.
Before you play, decide how much time and money you are comfortable spending. Consider this amount an entertainment cost rather than an investment. Only gamble with money you can afford to lose after essential expenses, savings and other financial commitments have been covered. Do not use borrowed money, rent money, bill money or funds needed for everyday living.
- Set a budget before starting and avoid changing it while playing.
- Set a time limit and take regular breaks away from the screen.
- Keep gambling separate from household and essential spending.
- Do not chase losses or increase stakes to try to win back money.
- Avoid gambling when affected by alcohol, drugs, anger, stress or tiredness.
- Remember that a win is never guaranteed and a loss is not a reason to continue.
Taking a break can help you maintain perspective. After each session, review how long you played and how much you spent. If the experience is no longer enjoyable or is affecting other areas of your life, stop playing and consider using the support options described below.
Tools to help manage your play
Account and play-management tools may help you stay within the limits you choose. Depending on the features available, you may be able to set limits on deposits, wagering or session activity, request a temporary break, or close your account. Limits are designed to support your decisions, but they work best when set before you begin playing.
Financial limits
A deposit limit can restrict the amount added to your account over a selected period. Choose an amount that fits comfortably within your entertainment budget. Do not set a limit based on the amount you hope to win. A limit should reflect what you can afford to lose, including during a period when you do not receive any winnings.
Time and session breaks
A time reminder or scheduled break can help you avoid playing for longer than intended. Leave the game, move away from the device and do something unrelated to gambling. A longer break may be appropriate if you have been playing more frequently, spending more than planned or feeling pressure to continue.
Self-exclusion and account closure
If you want to stop gambling, a temporary break or self-exclusion may be more appropriate than simply logging out. Account closure or self-exclusion can prevent access for a selected period or until further steps are completed, subject to the applicable process and terms. If you request a break or exclusion, do not open another account or use another person’s account to continue playing.
To ask about available account controls, use the support channel provided on the website. The available tools, settings and request process may vary. If you feel unable to stop, seek independent support rather than relying only on account settings.
Recognising signs of gambling harm
Gambling harm can develop gradually. It may affect finances, relationships, work, study, sleep, mood and overall wellbeing. You do not need to wait until a serious problem develops before asking for help. Speaking with someone early can make it easier to regain control.
- Spending more time or money gambling than you intended.
- Trying to win back losses by gambling more often or with higher stakes.
- Feeling restless, irritable or anxious when attempting to stop.
- Hiding gambling activity, losses or account information from others.
- Borrowing money, selling possessions or missing bills because of gambling.
- Neglecting work, study, family, friends or personal responsibilities.
- Using gambling to escape difficult feelings or situations.
- Continuing to gamble despite negative financial, emotional or relationship effects.
- Thinking about gambling frequently or finding it difficult to concentrate on other activities.
- Feeling shame, hopelessness or distress connected with gambling.
One or more of these signs may indicate that gambling is becoming harmful. Stop playing, protect access to your money and speak with a qualified support service or health professional. A trusted family member or friend may also help you make a plan, but you are not required to manage the situation alone.
Protecting young people and vulnerable people
Online gambling is intended for adults who meet the applicable age requirements. Do not allow children or other unauthorised people to use your account, payment methods or devices for gambling. Keep passwords private, use appropriate device security and log out when you finish. If you share a device, take extra care to prevent access to your account.
Getting help in Australia
If gambling is affecting you or someone close to you, independent help is available in Australia. Gambling support services can provide confidential information, counselling, financial guidance and practical assistance with reducing or stopping gambling. You can contact a service even if you are unsure whether your gambling is a problem.
You can also speak with your general practitioner or another qualified health professional. They can discuss gambling-related stress, anxiety, depression, sleep problems and other concerns, and may refer you to appropriate services. Financial counsellors can help with budgeting, debts and essential expenses.
If you feel at immediate risk of harming yourself or another person, contact emergency services in Australia or attend the nearest emergency department. If you are in emotional crisis, seek urgent assistance from an appropriate crisis support service. Your safety comes first.
