Why Responsible Gaming Matters at 188sb

Online gaming should be a healthy form of entertainment. At 188sb, we want every user to enjoy gaming with joy, safety, and responsibility. That is why we treat responsible gaming not just as a policy, but as the core foundation of our platform.

What Is Responsible Gaming?

Responsible gaming means keeping your gaming within defined boundaries as a form of entertainment. It means staying in control of your time, money, and mental energy — and never letting gaming take precedence over your life. At 188sb, responsible gaming means:

  • Treating gaming as entertainment, not as a source of income.
  • Sticking to a set budget and time limit.
  • Always put family, work, and social responsibilities first.
  • Don't chase losses by placing larger bets to try to recover.
  • Seeking help when gaming becomes a problem.

188sb believes responsible gaming matters not just for the individual, but for family and society as a whole. It is our commitment to ensure every user on our platform has a healthy and enjoyable experience.

Gaming at 188sb is strictly for players aged 18 and above. Account registration or gameplay by anyone under 18 is strictly prohibited.

Warning Signs of Problem Gaming

It is not always easy to recognise when a gaming habit is becoming a problem. 188sb wants our users to be alert if any of the following signs appear:

  • Using borrowed money or family funds to place bets.
  • Chasing losses by betting more after a losing streak.
  • Feeling unable to stop gaming even when you want to.
  • Neglecting sleep, meals, or work because of gaming.
  • Lying to family or friends about gaming activity.
  • Feeling restless or irritable when unable to play.
  • Using gaming as an escape from stress or personal problems.

If you notice any of the above signs in yourself, take a break and reach out to the 188sb support team. Seeking help is not a weakness — it takes courage.

Set Your Own Limits

At 188sb, we believe you should always be in control. That is why our platform lets you set your own limits across several categories:

Limit Type Description Duration
Deposit Limit Maximum daily, weekly, or monthly deposit amount Instant Effect
Loss Limit Set a maximum loss limit for a given time period Instant Effect
Bet Limits Maximum stake control per individual bet Instant Effect
Session Time Limit Time limit on consecutive play sessions Instant Effect
Reality-Check Reminders Periodic notifications about your gaming time and spending Customizable

Requests to increase a limit are subject to a mandatory 24-hour waiting period — this ensures no decision is made on impulse. Reducing a limit, however, takes effect immediately.

Self-Exclusion

If you feel you need a short or long-term break from gaming, you can use 188sb's self-exclusion feature. With this feature:

1
Temporary Break

Temporarily suspend your account for anywhere between 1 day and 6 weeks.

2
Long-Term Exclusion

Close your account for 6 months to 5 years, or permanently.

3
Marketing Opt-Out

You will not receive any promotional messages during your self-exclusion period.

4
Balance Refund

Any balance remaining in your account during self-exclusion can still be withdrawn.

If you attempt to open a new account during a self-exclusion period, 188sb will take steps to close it. Self-exclusion is a serious protection tool — treat it that way.

Build Healthy Gaming Habits

188sb wants you to stay well for the long haul. These simple habits will help keep your gaming experience positive at all times:

  • Set a budget: Decide how much you are willing to spend before you start, and stick to that limit strictly.
  • Set a time limit: Decide in advance how long you'll play each day. Use an alarm or reminder to keep yourself on track.
  • Don't play under the influence or when you're exhausted: When your mind isn't clear, your decision-making suffers — and that increases the risk of bigger losses.
  • Take a break: Take at least a 10-minute break every hour. Get up, walk around, and drink some water.
  • Accept losses as part of the game: Losses are a normal part of gaming. Do not chase losses by placing bigger bets.
  • Keep up other hobbies: Make time for family, friends, sports, and creative activities beyond gaming.
  • Celebrate wins but do not get caught up in them: When you hit a big win, withdraw it — don't put it all back on the line.

Remember — gaming is entertainment, not an investment. Every session should be a complete experience in itself.

Minor Protection

188sb strictly ensures that only players aged 18 and above can access games on our platform. To uphold this, we:

  • We follow an age verification process at the point of registration.
  • We require KYC verification on accounts flagged as suspicious.
  • We keep password locks in place to protect shared family devices.

If you have children or teenagers in your household, take the following steps:

  • Use parental control software on your devices.
  • Use a strong password for your 188sb account.
  • Never hand over your computer or phone to someone else while still logged in.
  • Teach your children responsible internet use.

188sb's built-in session timer reminds you at regular intervals how long you have been playing and how much you have spent. This helps you stay aware and in control.

Self-Exclusion Feature

Suspend your account for anywhere from 1 day to permanently, whenever you need a break. During self-exclusion, you won't receive any promotional messages, and you can still withdraw your balance.

Responsible Gaming FAQ

Absolutely. At 188sb, you can set your own daily, weekly, and monthly deposit limits, loss limits, bet limits, and session time limits. Reductions take effect immediately, while increases are subject to a mandatory 24-hour waiting period.

No, your balance remains safe during self-exclusion. You can still withdraw funds from your account while self-excluded. However, new deposits and gameplay will not be possible during the self-exclusion period.

Start by talking to them with empathy. Listen to how they feel without passing judgment. You can reach out to the 188sb support team — we handle everything with full confidentiality. If needed, encourage them to seek help from a professional counselor or mental health specialist.

A cooling-off period is a temporary break lasting from 24 hours up to 6 weeks. Once the period ends, your account is automatically reactivated. Self-exclusion is longer-term — from 6 months up to permanent. Even after a self-exclusion period expires, a separate request is required to reactivate the account.

188sb verifies age at registration and enforces mandatory KYC on any account that raises concern. If an account belonging to someone under 18 is identified, it is suspended immediately and any deposited funds are returned. Family members who have suspicions are welcome to contact our support team.
