What Is Responsible Gaming?

Responsible gaming means participating in wagering activities as a form of entertainment while maintaining full control over your time, money and decisions. It involves being aware of the risks involved, setting realistic limits and knowing when to stop.

Most members 888new playing purely for fun and keeping it a positive experience. However, some individuals may find it challenging to manage their playing habits. This can happen to anyone, regardless of background or experience.

888new takes a proactive approach to this issue. We don't wait for problems to arise — we actively provide preventive tools, monitor concerning gaming patterns, and reach out early to members who may need support.

  • Only play with money you can afford to lose without affecting your daily needs.
  • Treat betting as entertainment, not as a way to supplement income or solve financial problems.
  • Never try to chase losses — this is one of the most dangerous habits in betting.
  • Take regular breaks and do not let gaming interfere with your family, work or social responsibilities.
  • If you feel stressed, angry or emotionally unstable, avoid playing until you feel better.

Self-Control Tools on the 888new Platform

888new provides a range of self-control tools accessible directly through your account settings. These tools are designed to give you full control over your gaming experience without needing to contact anyone. Each tool can be activated immediately, and some require a cooling-off period before they can be relaxed — this is for your own protection.

  • Daily/Weekly/Monthly Deposit Limit: Set the maximum amount you can deposit within a given period. This limit takes effect immediately once set and can only be reduced without any waiting period.
  • Loss Limit: You can set a maximum loss limit per day, week or month. Once the limit is reached, you will be unable to continue betting until the limit period expires.
  • Play Time Limit: Limit the duration of your gaming sessions. The platform will send an alert when you are approaching your set time limit.
  • Time-Out: Take a short break ranging from 24 hours to 6 weeks. During this period, your account will be blocked from any betting activity, but your existing balance remains safe.
  • Self-Exclusion: A more serious option for those who need a long-term break — from 6 months to permanent. This is a firmer commitment and requires a review process before it can be lifted.
  • Reality Check: Set recurring reminders that will appear during your gaming session to remind you how long you've been playing and how much you've wagered.

Limits that have been set cannot be relaxed or cancelled immediately. Requests to ease a limit are subject to a cooling-off period of between 24 hours and 7 days depending on the type of limit. This is an additional layer of protection for you.

Signs of Problem Gambling

It is important to recognise the early warning signs of problem gambling — whether in yourself or someone you care about. Identifying issues early allows action to be taken before the situation becomes more serious. Here are some signs to watch out for:

  • Frequently thinking about gambling and planning the next gaming session even while doing other things.
  • Needing to wager increasingly larger amounts of money to achieve the same level of excitement.
  • Feeling anxious, irritable or restless when trying to cut down or stop gambling.
  • Lying to family or friends about gambling habits and the amount of money spent.
  • Using money intended for basic needs such as rent, bills or food to gamble.
  • Borrowing money or selling belongings to fund gambling.
  • Chasing losses — continuing to play in hopes of recovering money already lost.
  • Neglecting work, family or social responsibilities due to gambling.
  • Using gambling as a way to escape problems, stress or negative emotions.

If you recognise two or more of the above signs in yourself, we encourage you to speak with someone you trust or contact our support team. 888new for further guidance.

Protection for Minors & Vulnerable Individuals

888new maintains a zero-tolerance policy toward participation by individuals under 18 years of age. A strict identity verification (KYC) process is in place to ensure all members are eligible adults. We also support the following measures to protect vulnerable individuals:

  • Parental control software: We encourage the use of software such as Net Nanny, Cybersitter or built-in device parental controls to block children's access to betting sites.
  • Strong password: Always log out of your account and use a unique, hard-to-guess password to prevent unauthorised access.
  • Do not share your account: Account 888new is for registered members only. Sharing your account violates the terms of service and may result in account closure.
  • Proactive monitoring: Our system monitors unusual play patterns that may indicate use by an underage individual or an unauthorised party.

FAQ – Responsible Gaming

Limits take effect immediately and can only be decreased without any waiting period, while increasing a limit is subject to a cooling-off period.

Time-Out is a temporary break ranging from 24 hours to 6 weeks during which your account is blocked from wagering activity. You may apply to end the time-out after the minimum period. Self-Exclusion is a longer-term commitment from 6 months to permanent, and requires a more thorough review process before the account can be reactivated. Neither option affects the balance in your account.

Yes. Even though your account is restricted from betting activity during Self-Exclusion, you can still contact our support team 888new to process the withdrawal of your remaining balance. Your funds are always safe and accessible through our support channels.

Core Principles

Five Principles Responsible Gaming

1
Set Limits Before Playing

Decide how much time and money you are willing to spend before opening any game. Stick to these limits without exception.

2
Treat It as Entertainment Only

Do not rely on gambling as a source of income or a way to solve financial problems. Money spent on gambling is a cost of entertainment, just like a cinema ticket.

3
Don't Chase Losses

If you have reached your loss limit, stop playing. Chasing losses almost always results in greater financial loss and higher emotional distress.

4
Take Regular Breaks

Pause every 30–60 minutes, drink some water, stretch, and reassess your emotional state before continuing to play or deciding to stop.

5
Ask for Help When You Need It

Seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness. Do not hesitate to reach out to the 888new support team or external resources if you feel you need support.
