Betting should be entertainment, not addiction—we're here for you
1stgame isn't just a betting platform—we're guardians of your wellbeing and safety. We firmly believe online betting should be a fun and entertaining activity, never a source of financial hardship or mental strain. When betting spirals out of control and becomes an addiction, it can have devastating effects on your life—financial crisis, family problems, career setbacks, and deteriorating mental health. That's why 1stgame places responsible gaming at the very top of our priorities.
Responsible gaming means you're enjoying betting while maintaining control. It means you're only betting with money that won't impact your lifestyle if you lose it. You're treating betting as a part-time hobby, not a full-time occupation. You know your limits and you don't cross them. At 1stgame we provide various tools and resources to help you stay responsible. Our goal isn't just to offer you betting services, but to ensure you're enjoying this entertainment safely and healthily.
Betting is entertainment, not a source of income. Never bet with money you need to cover expenses or pay debts. Always remember - the house always wins. In the long run, most players lose money. If betting is causing problems in your life, get help immediately.
1stgame's responsible gaming programme stands on three main pillars:
We encourage every player to stay aware of their betting behaviour, conduct regular self-assessments and seek help when needed. Remember, asking for help is not a sign of weakness, but proof of strength and self-awareness.
Set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits. Once a limit is set, it takes effect immediately and helps you protect yourself from overspending.
Set how long you'll play each day or week. You'll be notified when time is up and the session will end, preventing you from becoming addicted.
If you feel betting is becoming a problem, you can block yourself for 6 months, 1 year or permanently. During this time you won't be able to log in or bet.
Need a temporary break? Set a cooling-off period of 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During this time your account will be suspended, but you can reactivate it later.
Decide how much money you're willing to lose within a certain period. When you reach the limit, you can't bet anymore, preventing further losses.
Get reminders at set intervals showing how long you've been playing and how much you've won/lost. This helps you stay aware.
Sometimes we don't realise betting is becoming a problem. Ask yourself these simple questions and answer honestly:
If you have to cut expenses or take loans to fund betting, that's a red flag.
"Chasing losses" is a very dangerous pattern that usually leads to even greater losses.
Neglecting work, studies, family responsibilities? Then be careful.
Hiding or downplaying betting to family or friends is a sign of a problem.
If you can't stay away from betting, that's a sign of psychological dependence.
Loss of control is a key sign of addiction.
If you answered "yes" to 2 or more of the 6 questions above, you should review your betting behaviour and probably seek professional help. Our support team can guide you.
Don't delay in this situation. Seek professional help immediately. You're not alone and help is available.
