888Starz Responsible Gaming

There will always be a possibility of money lost in any game of chance. 888Starz invites and encourages users to gamble responsibly, establish limits, and treat gambling as leisure time, as opposed to an income resource. 888Starz wants to remind its players that secure betting essentially protects your finances and your personal mental health.

Betting addiction typically develops over a long period of time and can be hard to recognize in its early stages. There are some indications that gambling is slowly turning into a problem:

• It’s becoming increasingly difficult to stop thinking about placing a bet or upcoming games;
• Trouble limiting the time you spend gambling;
• Increasing the total amount you bet, at least to recover your previous losses;
• Hiding gambling activities from your family;
• Neglecting work, studies, and social commitments;
• Spending more money gambling than you’d initially planned to spend;
• Trying to cope with stress and problems through gambling;
• Feeling upset, or even angry, if you cannot gamble;
• Searching for money, robbing, or selling personal things to access gambling again;
• Attempts to stop or limit gambling have not worked.

Betting addiction is a serious condition, and you should seek help as soon as possible.

This guidance is designed to help you identify and manage risk and to protect against developing gambling addiction. The following recommendations will help you stay in control:

• Establish personal limits on deposits and betting amounts;
• Pre-determine how much time you have planned to be active on the platform;
• Take breaks during your playing sessions;
• Don’t access a casino or betting when feeling stressed, tired, or drunk;
• Keep gambling separate from your real-life budget;
• Use the 888Starz platform self-exclusion tools;
• Talk to others and review your gambling/betting history;
• Talk to a trusted friend or family member about your gambling;
• Understand that you will have gambling losses and not chase losses;
• Seek professional help when you feel your self-control is no longer effective.
