Our Philosophy

Why Responsible Gambling Matters

At 178bet, we believe the best playing experience is one that is controlled and mindful. Our platform is built not only to offer quality games such as online slots, live casino and sports betting, but also to ensure every player has access to information and tools that help them play wisely.

Online gambling is a legitimate entertainment activity for adults aged 21 and above. However, like any form of entertainment involving money, it calls for a mature and responsible approach. The majority of our players enjoy the games as a way to relax and have fun, and our goal is to keep it that way.

Gambling problems can happen to anyone regardless of background or experience. Early signs may not be obvious at first, but with enough awareness, a person can identify and address the problem before it goes further.

💡 Useful Tip: Set a daily or weekly budget before you play and stick to that limit. Remember — money used for gambling is entertainment money, not an investment.

Core Principles

Five Principles of Responsible Play

Play for fun
Treat gambling as entertainment, not a way to solve financial problems.
Set realistic limits
Decide on time and money limits before a playing session begins.
Do not chase losses
If you have lost, stop playing rather than increasing your bets.
Balance your leisure time
Gambling is just one of many leisure activities. Keep a balance in life.
Seek help early
Do not wait until the problem gets worse. Acting sooner is always better.

Protection Tools

Self-Control Features We Provide

178bet provides a range of tools to help you manage your gambling activity in a more controlled and mindful way.

Deposit Limit

Set daily, weekly or monthly deposit limits on your account. Once a limit is set, our system will automatically block deposits that exceed that amount — giving you full control over your gambling spending.

Playing Time Limit

Configure a time limit for your playing sessions. When the set time is almost up, the system will alert you so you are aware of how long you have been playing and can make a more informed decision.

Temporary Break

Take a break from the platform for 24 hours, 72 hours, 7 days or 30 days. During the break period, you will not be able to log in to your account — a useful option when you feel you need to step away for a while.

Self-Exclusion

The self-exclusion option lets you close access to your 178bet account for a longer period. This is a step we recommend to players who feel that gambling is starting to have a negative impact on their lives.

Loss Limit

Set a maximum loss limit for each session or a set period of time. When the limit is reached, the system will block further play for that period, helping you avoid continuing to play while in a losing position.

Child Protection

178bet only accepts adult players aged 21 and above. We recommend that parents and guardians use parental control software to prevent children from accessing online gambling platforms.

Know the Signs

Is Gambling Becoming a Problem?

Recognising the early signs of a gambling problem is an important first step. Here are some warning signs that deserve serious attention.

Playing longer or spending more than planned

You often find yourself playing well beyond the time or money limits you set beforehand.

Compulsion and difficulty stopping

You feel restless, uneasy or irritable when trying to cut back on or stop gambling.

Borrowing money to gamble

You borrow money from family, friends or other sources solely to use for gambling.

Hiding gambling activity

You lie to people close to you about how much you gamble or how much you have spent.

Gambling affecting daily responsibilities

Your work, studies, family relationships or health are suffering because of the time and money spent on gambling.

You can apply for self-exclusion in two ways: first, through your account settings under the self-control section; second, by contacting our support team via live chat or email. State the exclusion period you want, and we will process your request promptly. An activated self-exclusion cannot be reversed before the period ends.

Deposit limits can be lowered at any time and the change takes effect immediately. However, to increase a deposit limit, there is a waiting period in place as a protective measure. This ensures that the decision to raise a limit is made deliberately and not in the heat of the moment.

The first step is to have an open conversation without judgement. Express your concern clearly but with compassion. Encourage them to seek professional help. You can also contact the 178bet support team on their behalf if they are unwilling to do so themselves. We can guide you on the next steps to take.

Yes, once your self-exclusion period ends, your account will become active again. However, we recommend that you take stock of your situation before resuming gambling activity. Our support team is also available to talk with you about precautions to consider before returning to play.
