989bd's commitment to responsible gaming

Enjoy a fun gaming experience while keeping yourself and your family safe — stay in control of your play with deposit limits, self-exclusion, and time-out tools.

Why is responsible gaming important?

Online gaming is a great source of entertainment — but it stays enjoyable only when played in a controlled and mindful way. 989bd believes every player has the right and responsibility to know their limits and play within them.

Responsible gaming means keeping gaming as a source of fun and entertainment, and never treating it as a source of income or a solution to financial problems. Set a fixed budget and time limit for each gaming session and stick to those limits.

At 989bd, we are committed to the wellbeing of all our players. That is why we have developed a number of effective self-help tools that give you full control over your gaming experience. Using these tools, you can decide for yourself when, how much, and how you play.

Remember: Gaming should be for entertainment only. If you feel that gaming is having a negative impact on your life, seek help right away. 989bd's 24/7 live chat support is always here for you.

Warning signs of problematic gaming

If you notice any of the signs below, seek help right away — this is not weakness, it is courage

You are spending more money than your planned budget or playing again to chase losses.

You repeatedly fail to stop or limit your gaming, and cannot quit even when you want to.

You are neglecting relationships and responsibilities with family, friends, or at work because of gaming.

You are taking on debt to cover gaming costs or spending money you need for essentials on gaming.

You feel anxious, irritable, or restless when not playing — you cannot find peace of mind without gaming.

You are lying to or hiding from family or loved ones about how much you play or how long you spend gaming.

If even one of the above signs applies to you, contact 989bd's 24/7 live chat support without delay or use our self-exclusion tool. Asking for help is not a sign of weakness — it is proof of self-awareness.
