Introduction

What Is Responsible Gaming?

Responsible gaming means participating in entertainment activities such as slot games, fish shooting or bingo with full awareness of your personal limits – time, money and emotions. It is not about stopping you from having fun, but ensuring that entertainment stays as entertainment, not a burden.

At vio789, we understand that most of our members play purely for fun and relaxation after a long day. However, we also recognise that some individuals may face challenges managing their gaming habits. That is why we provide a comprehensive range of tools and support – not because we are required to by law, but because we genuinely care about our members' wellbeing.

The core principles of responsible gaming at vio789 are simple: Play for fun, not to chase losses. Set your limits before you start, and stick to them.

Research shows that players who set gaming limits before they start enjoy a more positive experience and find it easier to stop at the right time. Begin every session with a clear intention.

Control Tools

6 vio789 Responsible Gaming Tools

All these tools are available free of charge to every vio789 member. Activate them directly through your account settings or contact our customer support.

Personal Deposit Limit

Set your own maximum daily, weekly or monthly deposit amount. Once the limit is set, our system will automatically block any deposit that exceeds that amount. Limits can be reduced immediately, but increases require a 48-hour waiting period for your protection.

Session Time Limit

Control how long you play each day or week. When the time limit is reached, the platform will send a notification and offer the option to stop. This feature is especially useful for members who easily lose track of time while playing.

Temporary Cool-Off

Need a short break? Activate a temporary cool-off for 24 hours, 3 days, 1 week or 30 days. During this period, you will not be able to log in or place any wagers. Your account balance remains safe and unaffected.

Self-Exclusion

The strongest option for those who feel they need to stop playing entirely for an extended period – from 6 months to 5 years, or permanently. These requests are fully honoured and cannot be reversed during the active period.

Loss Limit

Set the maximum loss amount you are willing to absorb within a given period. Once this limit is reached, your account will be blocked from placing new wagers for that period – giving you real financial protection.

Promotional Notification Controls

Opt out of all bonus notifications, promotions and special offers that may encourage you to play beyond your original plan. You remain an active member without any additional marketing pressure.

Warning Signs

Recognise the Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling is not about how much you play – it is about the impact gaming has on your daily life. Here are the warning signs to watch out for:

Playing to chase losses – continuing to play solely to try to recover money that has already been lost.
Warning
Lying about gaming habits – hiding gaming activity from family members or friends.
Warning
Using essential living funds – spending money meant for rent, bills or daily necessities on gambling.
Danger
Unable to stop – feeling unable to stop even when aware it is affecting your life.
Danger
Gaming interfering with work or family – neglecting important responsibilities due to playing.
Warning
Borrowing money to gamble – borrowing from others or using credit to continue playing.
Danger
Feeling anxious when not playing – feeling anxious, restless or lost when unable to access the platform.
Warning

If you identify two or more signs above in yourself or someone you care about, it is time to act. Help is available and there is no reason to be ashamed.

Child Protection

Minor Protection

Vio789 has a zero-tolerance policy against participation by individuals under 18 years of age on our platform. Here are the steps we take:

  • Mandatory Age Verification (KYC): Every new member must complete an identity verification process confirming they are 18 years of age or older before any deposit or wager is permitted.
  • Continuous Monitoring: Our system detects suspicious activity that may indicate use by an underage individual and will lock the account for further investigation.
  • Parental Control Software: We recommend parents use parental control software such as Net Nanny or Kaspersky Safe Kids to block children's access to online gambling platforms.
  • Report Abuse: If you suspect someone under 18 is using our platform, please contact customer support immediately. We will investigate and respond promptly.

Verified accounts belonging to individuals under 18 will closed immediately and all funds will be returned to the rightful owner.

FAQ

Responsible Gaming FAQ

Log in to your account, go to "Account Settings" and select "Responsible Gaming". From there, you can set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits. Limits set take effect immediately, while any limit increases require a 48-hour waiting period to ensure decisions are made with a clear head.

A temporary cool-off is a short break of between 24 hours and 30 days, suitable for players who need time to reconsider. Self-exclusion is a longer commitment – from 6 months to permanent – which cannot be reversed during the active period. Self-exclusion is the best option for those who are serious about stopping play entirely.

Yes, completely. Your account balance is not affected by self-exclusion or a temporary cool-off. You may request a withdrawal of your balance at any time, even during an exclusion period. Contact our customer support to process the withdrawal.

Please contact vio789 customer support via live chat now to get help activating self-exclusion.
