1898 Responsible Gaming — Play healthily, keep yourself safe
1898 believes entertainment should be fun but always enjoyed responsibly and mindfully. This page offers detailed guidance on responsible gaming, support options, and self-protection strategies.
Our commitment to responsible gaming
Enjoying entertainment on the 1898 platform is fun, but we believe every player’s mental and financial wellbeing matters most. Our responsible gaming policy reflects not just legal obligations but our core values.
Gaming is a recreational activity. It should never be used as a source of income or a way to solve financial problems. 1898 encourages every user to play consciously and maintain self-control.
On this page, we encourage you to recognize limits, take timely breaks, and seek help when needed.
- Age verification and ensuring protection of minors.
- Allowing users to set their own limits.
- Helping to identify signs of risk.
- Encouraging professional help if needed.
Signs of Risky Behavior — Time for Self-Awareness
- Spending more than your allocated budget.
- Betting more to recover lost money.
- Taking money away from essential expenses to play.
- Continuing to game using borrowed money.
- Feeling restless or anxious without gaming.
- Hiding gaming from family or friends.
- Neglecting work, studies, or relationships.
- Lying or denying your gaming activities.
If you notice any of these signs in yourself, take a break immediately and use the self-control tools below. Admitting the problem is the bravest step.
Budget and Time Limits — Set Your Own Rules
Setting Budget and Deposit Limits
At 1898, you set your own deposit limits within a specific timeframe. By setting daily, weekly, or monthly limits, you reduce the risk of overspending.
Set a realistic budget from the start — an amount you can afford to lose without impacting your daily life. Remember, gaming expenses are entertainment costs, not investments.
Time-Outs and Cooling-Off Periods
If you feel gaming is excessive, you can use the option to temporarily suspend your account for a few days.
Taking short breaks like these often reduces mental stress and helps restore a clear perspective.
Self-exclusion (Permanent break)
If you feel gaming is negatively affecting your life, you can request a long-term or permanent self-exclusion. This temporarily or permanently disables your account.
To request self-exclusion, contact support at [email protected] — we’ll assist you without judgment.
Practical Advice
- Set maximum loss limits before you start playing.
- Even if you win, take breaks rather than playing continuously.
- Do not play when feeling mentally stressed or after drinking alcohol.
- Do not replace family time or time with friends with gaming.
Protecting minors — keeping children and teens safe
1898 strictly prohibits account creation or platform use by anyone under 18. Age verification occurs during registration, and ID may be requested if there is any doubt.
A special request for family members who share devices with children or teenagers:
- Use password or PIN locks on your device.
- Always sign out of 1898 when not using the platform.
- Raise awareness about online safety for children.
- If a minor uses an account, report it to Support immediately.
Accounts identified as belonging to minors will be immediately suspended.
Life balance and professional support
Prioritizing a Healthy Life
Gaming is just a small part of life. Family, friends, work, studies, and health always come first. 1898 wants you to thrive in everyday life.
The following habits help maintain life balance:
- Take designated days off from gaming each week.
- Stay connected with family and friends while gaming.
- Spend time on hobbies and other leisure activities.
- Maintain regular habits of sleep, eating, and exercise.
