98db Responsible Gaming — Keep the Fun Within Limits
Let betting be a form of entertainment, not stress. 98db always places the wellbeing and safety of players as its highest priority — learn how to protect yourself.
Why Is Responsible Betting Important?
Online betting is a legitimate form of entertainment — but it is only enjoyable when it stays within control. 98db believes every player should play within their means and never treat betting as a source of income. Betting is essentially a form of entertainment — you may win, or you may not.
On the 98db platform, we are committed to creating an environment where every player can freely set their own limits, take a break when needed, and reach out for help.
- Betting is for entertainment only — it is not a guaranteed source of income.
- Only bet an amount you can afford to lose.
- Do not bet with borrowed money or emergency savings.
- Take regular breaks and spend time with family and friends.
- Avoid betting when drinking alcohol or under emotional stress.
- If you feel there is a problem, contact 98db support right away.
98db's Protection Tools
98db provides a number of effective tools to keep your betting experience safe.
Set Deposit Limits
You can set a maximum daily, weekly, or monthly deposit amount. Once a limit is set, it cannot be increased before the specified time, but it can be reduced immediately.
Time-Out Feature
Need a short break? Take a time-out from 24 hours up to 30 days. No bets can be placed on your account during this period — once the break ends, it will be automatically reactivated.
Self-Exclusion
If you feel betting is getting out of your control, request self-exclusion. This takes effect for a minimum of 6 months and can be permanent — the account cannot be accessed during this time.
Review Betting History
You can view a full history of your betting and transactions in your account. Analyse your spending patterns and adjust your approach as needed.
Account Security
Use a strong password and do not share your login details with anyone. Our support team is available around the clock to help in the event of any unauthorised access.
Reality Check
98db reminds you in a timely manner how long you have been playing. Keep these reality check notifications on — they are the simplest protection against spending too much time.
Recognise the Signs of Problem Gambling
Betting can become a problem, and in many cases the person may not even realise it. Be alert if you notice the following signs in yourself or someone you know:
- Feeling a repeated urge to bet in order to recover lost money.
- Hiding the amount you bet from family or friends.
- Trying to stop betting but not succeeding.
- Using money set aside for essential expenses or borrowed funds to bet.
- Feeling restless or irritable when unable to bet.
- Prioritising betting over work, studies, or relationships.
- Losing sleep or feeling increased anxiety due to financial problems.
- Feeling the need to place increasingly larger bets to get the same thrill.
What Should You Do If There Is a Problem?
If you notice more than one of the signs above in yourself, do not try to face this alone — take action quickly:
Acknowledging the problem is the first step toward a solution. Assess the situation without blaming yourself.
