Responsible Gambling

At 1xBet we believe betting and casino play should stay what they are meant to be – a form of entertainment. For most people that is exactly what it is. But for some, gambling can stop being fun and start causing harm. This page explains how to keep your play under control, how to recognise the warning signs, and where to turn if you or someone you know needs help.

This site is intended for adults aged 18 and over (or the legal age in your jurisdiction). Gambling involves risk, and there is no strategy that guarantees a win.

What responsible gambling means

Responsible gambling means staying in control of how much time and money you spend, and treating any money you stake as the cost of entertainment — not as a way to make money or recover previous losses. A few simple principles help:

  • Only gamble with money you can afford to lose.
  • Set a budget before you start, and stop when you reach it.
  • Never chase losses by betting more to win back what you’ve lost.
  • Don’t gamble to escape stress, boredom, or low mood.
  • Keep gambling as one activity among many, not the centre of your life.

Tools to help you stay in control

1xBet’s platform provides account tools you can use at any time to set your own limits. You do not need a reason to use them — they are there to help everyone play safely:

  • Deposit limits – cap how much you can add to your account per day, week, or month
  • Bet and loss limits – set a maximum you are willing to stake or lose over a period
  • Session and time limits – limit how long a single session can last
  • Reality checks – periodic reminders of how long you’ve been playing
  • Time-out – take a short break by locking your account for a set period
  • Self-exclusion – close access to your account for a longer period (for example six months or more) when you need to step away completely

To set any of these, go to your account settings or contact our support team at {support_email}. {Self-exclusion / limit setup steps — insert your platform’s actual path here.}

Warning signs to watch for

Gambling may be becoming a problem if you recognise some of the following in yourself or someone close to you:

  • Spending more time or money on gambling than intended
  • Betting more to try to win back losses
  • Borrowing money, selling things, or neglecting bills to fund gambling
  • Lying to family or friends about how much you gamble
  • Feeling restless, anxious, or irritable when trying to cut down
  • Gambling to escape problems or relieve difficult feelings
  • Losing interest in work, studies, hobbies, or relationships because of gambling

A quick self-check

Ask yourself honestly:

  1. Have you ever felt you needed to bet more and more money?
  2. Have you tried to stop or cut back and found you couldn’t?
  3. Have you lied to people who matter to you about your gambling?
  4. Have you gambled to escape worry or unhappiness?
  5. Have your losses ever left you unable to cover everyday expenses?

Answering “yes” to one or more of these can be a sign it’s worth seeking advice. It doesn’t mean the situation is hopeless — support is available, and reaching out early makes a real difference.

Protecting minors

Gambling is strictly for adults. If people under 18 share your device:

  • Keep your login details private and never let a minor use your account.
  • Consider parental-control or website-blocking software (for example filtering tools that block gambling sites) to restrict access on shared devices.
  • Set up device-level restrictions and separate user profiles where possible.
