Introduction

What Is Responsible Gaming?

Responsible gaming is more than a slogan — it is a mindset we embed into every aspect of the 918 platform. To us, good gaming is gaming that brings enjoyment without affecting your daily life, finances, or relationships with the people you care about.

Many players start out intending to have fun, but without the right controls, gaming habits can turn into something harmful. That is why 918 proactively equips you with the tools, information, and support you need to always stay on track.

The core principles of responsible gaming at 918 are simple: play for fun, not to solve financial problems. Game outcomes are unpredictable, and every wager carries the risk of losing money. Understanding this is the first step toward a healthier and more enjoyable gaming experience.

918 enforces a minimum age requirement of 18 for all members. We apply a rigorous identity verification (KYC) process to ensure no underage users can access our platform. Protecting minors is a responsibility we take extremely seriously.

Remember: Gaming is entertainment. If you start feeling stressed, sad, or angry over game results — that is a signal to step back and rethink how you are playing.

Check Your Gaming Habits

Ask yourself these questions honestly:

1

Have you ever played using money meant for bills or daily necessities?

2

Do you feel the urge to keep playing to "win back" money you have lost?

3

Have people around you ever expressed concern about your gaming habits?

4

Do you find it hard to stop playing even when you intend to?

5

Is gaming starting to affect your sleep, work, or relationships?

If you answered "Yes" to any of the questions above, we encourage you to contact the 918 support team or use the self-exclusion tools available in your account.

Self-Control Tools

6 Responsible Gaming Tools Provided by 918

All these tools are accessible directly through your account settings and take effect immediately. You are always in full control.

Daily / Weekly / Monthly Deposit Limits

Set the maximum deposit amount you can make per day, week, or month. Once the limit is reached, the system automatically blocks any additional deposits until the limit period resets. Perfect for players who want to manage their gaming budget with discipline.

Periodic Loss Limits

Set a maximum loss limit you are comfortable with over a given period. Once that limit is reached, the 918 platform will temporarily block your access to games, giving you the chance to cool down and think clearly.

Session Time Limits

Set the maximum amount of time you can spend in a single gaming session. Once the time limit is reached, the system will notify you and restrict your access so you do not inadvertently spend hours in front of the screen.

Cooling-Off Period

Need a short break? Activate a temporary cooling-off period of 24 hours, 48 hours, or 7 days. During this time your account remains intact but access to games is fully suspended — giving you the space to clear your head and return refreshed.

Self-Exclusion

A more serious option for those who need a longer break. You can exclude yourself for 30 days, 6 months, 1 year, or permanently. Once activated, your account cannot be accessed until the period ends and a recovery request has been verified by our team.

Promotion & Notification Controls

You have the right to opt out of all promotions, bonus offers, and marketing notifications from 918. This option helps you avoid the temptation to play more than planned, especially when you are trying to reduce your gaming activity.

Warning Signs

Neglecting responsibilities Work, family, or health starting to be neglected High

Playing longer than planned Occasionally going over time in a single session Low
Steps to Get Help

What to Do If You Are Affected

1

Acknowledge the Situation Honestly

The hardest but most important step. Admitting that gaming is becoming a problem takes courage — and that is where real recovery begins.

2

Activate Control Tools in Your 918 Account

Log in to your account and activate self-exclusion or the appropriate limits. The process takes just a few minutes and takes effect immediately.

3

Contact 918 Customer Support

The 918 support team can help you activate account controls, answer your questions, and point you toward the right resources — with zero judgment.

4

Seek External Support

Talk to a trusted family member or friend about what you are going through. Support from loved ones is one of the most effective and lasting factors in recovery.

5

Restructure Your Leisure Time

Fill your free time with other fulfilling activities — sports, hobbies, or time with family. Replacing old habits with new ones is key to long-term recovery.

FAQ

Responsible Gaming FAQ

Log in to your 918 account, then go to "Account Settings" and select "Responsible Gaming". There you will find options to set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits. The limits you set take effect immediately. If you wish to lower a limit, the change also takes effect immediately. However, if you wish to raise a limit, a 72-hour waiting period applies as an additional safeguard.

No — self-exclusion is designed to be irreversible before the set period ends. This is intentional, as a safeguard for your own protection. Once the exclusion period expires, you will need to contact the 918 support team directly to request account reinstatement. This reinstatement process requires identity verification and an additional waiting period to ensure you are truly ready to return.

A cooling-off period is a short break of 24 hours to 7 days — ideal for those who just need a little time to reset. Once the period ends, your account is automatically reactivated. Self-exclusion is a more serious commitment, ranging from 30 days to permanent. It is designed for those who feel gaming has become a problem requiring longer intervention. Choose the option that best fits your situation.

Yes, completely safe. Self-exclusion only blocks access to games — the balance in your account is not affected in any way. You can still withdraw your balance at any time during the exclusion period by contacting our support team. Your funds are fully protected under 918's member fund protection policy.

Yes, you can. You may request permanent account closure at any time by contacting the 918 support team via live chat. Our team will process your request, ensure all remaining balances are returned to you, and permanently close the account. Please note that permanent closure means you will not be able to re-register using the same details.

Yes, completely. Any request or information related to self-control tools, self-exclusion, or your gaming concerns is handled in strict confidence in accordance with 918 Privacy Policy. None of this information will be shared with third parties without your consent, unless required by law.
