Understanding Responsible Gaming

Core Principles of Responsible Gaming

Responsible gaming means managing your gaming activities in a way that doesn't negatively impact your life. It means only wagering money you can afford to lose, setting a fixed budget and time limit, not viewing gaming as your sole source of entertainment or income, and monitoring your emotions and mental state. Responsible gaming doesn't mean you'll never lose, but it ensures that wins and losses won't affect your normal life.

When gaming becomes a problem

Gaming becomes a problem when it interferes with your financial stability, personal relationships, work or studies, mental health, or ability to fulfill daily responsibilities. Often people don't realize their gaming habits are becoming problematic. Staying alert and monitoring your own behavior is crucial. If you feel gaming is slipping out of your control, or you can't stick to your predetermined limits, it's time to seek help.

Signs of Problem Gambling

Ber1777 encourages you to recognize the following signs that may indicate gaming is becoming a problem:

  • Betting or losing more money than you can afford
  • Playing more to recover lost money (chasing losses)
  • Borrowing money or taking loans to fund gaming
  • Lying to family, friends, or colleagues about gaming
  • Neglecting responsibilities, work, or studies due to gaming
  • Unable to stop or reduce gaming even when you want to
  • Feeling anxious or worried about gaming
  • Feeling restless or irritable when not gaming
  • Relationship strain or conflict arising from gaming

Important precautions

If three or more of the above symptoms apply to you, please seek professional help. Use ber1777's self-exclusion tool and contact our support team.

Ber1777 Responsible Gaming Tools

Deposit limit

Set maximum limits for daily, weekly, or monthly deposits. This helps you stay within your budget and prevents overspending. Once you set a limit, it takes effect immediately, and any increase requires a 24-72 hour waiting period.

Time limit

Set a limit on how much time you'll spend gaming per day or week. When time runs out, ber1777 will send you a notification and your session will automatically close. This ensures gaming isn't interfering with your daily activities or sleep.

Loss Limit

Set the maximum amount you're prepared to lose within a specific period. Once this limit is reached, you won't be able to place further bets until the period resets. This helps you control your losses and avoid chasing losses.

Cooling-off period

If you feel you need a brief break, you can temporarily suspend your account for 24 hours to 30 days. During this time, you won't be able to log in or play games, but your account and funds will remain safe.

Self-Exclusion

If you feel your gaming has gotten out of control, use self-exclusion. You can close your account for 6 months, 1 year, 3 years, or permanently. During this period, you won't be able to access ber1777 in any way, and it cannot be reversed.

Reality Check

At regular intervals (such as every 30 or 60 minutes), a pop-up will appear during your gaming session showing you the current time, playing time, and profit-loss information. This helps you stay aware and make informed decisions about whether to continue or stop playing.

Self-Assessment - Are You at Risk?

You can assess your gaming behavior by answering the questions below. If you answer "yes" to most questions, you should seek professional help:

  • Do you often exceed your predetermined time or budget?
  • Do you lie to family or friends about your gaming?
  • After losing, do you quickly place more bets to try to win it back?
  • Do you find it impossible to stop gaming even when you want to?
  • Has gaming caused you financial problems?
  • Have you borrowed money to fund your gaming?
  • Do you feel restless or irritable when not gaming?
  • Has gaming caused relationship problems?
  • Have you neglected work or studies because of gaming?
  • Does gaming make you feel anxious or depressed?

If you answer "yes" to three or more questions, please contact our support team or a professional helpline.

Changing Limits

You can change your limits at any time, but remember a few rules. Decreases take effect immediately and you'll start operating under the new limit right away.

Self-exclusion cannot be cancelled before the set period expires.

Safe and Responsible Gaming Tips

Before playing

  • Set a budget: Decide before you start how much you're prepared to lose and never play beyond that amount.
  • Set time limits: Decide in advance how long you'll play and set a timer.
  • Play with a clear mind: Don't play when you're stressed, angry, or depressed. Gaming should be for entertainment only.
  • Understand the rules: Understand the rules, odds, and house edge of the game you're playing.

While playing

  • Stick to your limits: Never exceed your predetermined budget and time under any circumstances.
  • Avoid chasing losses: Don't try to quickly recover losses after losing. This leads to even bigger losses.
  • Take breaks: Take 5-10 minute breaks every 30-45 minutes and review your position.
  • Avoid alcohol: Don't play under the influence of alcohol or drugs as they impair your judgment.
  • Be satisfied with profits: If you win, withdraw a portion of your winnings and stop playing instead of giving it all back.

After playing

  • Review: Regularly review your gaming history, spending, and time.
  • Be honest: Be honest with yourself and others about your gaming.
  • Maintain balance: Don't let gaming become your only form of entertainment. Maintain other hobbies and activities.
  • Recognize the problem: If you notice these signs, take action immediately and seek help.

Golden Rule

Never play with money needed for bills, food, rent, education, or other essential expenses. Only use "extra" or "entertainment" money that won't affect your lifestyle if lost.
