What Is Responsible Gambling?

Responsible gambling is about keeping your play controlled and balanced. It includes:

• Deciding your budget and play time before you start
• Avoiding the urge to chase losses or play to escape stress
• Treating games as leisure, not a way to solve financial problems
• Knowing when it’s time to pause, take a break, or stop altogether

How TOP96 Supports Safer Play

Player Protection Tools

• Deposit Limits: Set daily, weekly, or monthly top-up limits in your account settings
• Activity Reminders: On-screen prompts that show how long you’ve been playing
• Session Timers: Optional time caps that log you out once your chosen limit is reached
• Cool-Off Periods: Short breaks from play, from 24 hours to several weeks
• Self-Exclusion: Longer-term or permanent exclusion options if you need a complete stop

Fair & Secure Environment

• Game Integrity: Independent testing helps ensure fair outcomes for all supported games
• 18+ Policy: Age checks are used to prevent underage access
• Data Protection: Transactions and personal details are handled using secure, encrypted channels

Recognising Warning Signs

• Keeping gambling secret from friends or family
• Using borrowed money or credit to continue gambling
• Spending more or playing longer than you originally planned
• Feeling anxious, guilty, or stressed about gambling
• Skipping responsibilities, work, or social activities to keep playing

Quick Self-Check

These questions can help you reflect on your gambling behaviour:

• Do I regularly exceed the time or budget I set for gambling?
• Do I often try to win back money I’ve lost?
• Is gambling starting to affect my work, studies, or relationships?
• Do I feel tense or worried when I think about my gambling?

If you answer “yes” to any of these, it may be a good time to reduce play, use limit tools, or reach out for support.
