Betting should be a source of enjoyment, not stress. Responsible gaming is a top priority at 888 Stars — because we want every member to play with a clear head and use the platform in a healthy way.
These six core principles are the foundation of 888 Stars' responsible gaming framework
At 888 Stars, member well-being — both mental and financial — takes priority over revenue. No member is ever encouraged to bet beyond their means.
The 888 Stars team monitors member betting patterns. If unusual or concerning behavior is detected, the support team will reach out directly to offer help.
From Deposit Limits to Self-Exclusion, 888 Stars provides tools you can use on your own terms, whenever you need them.
Strict age verification and KYC procedures ensure no one under 18 can open an account. Additional checks can be carried out at any time if there is reason for suspicion.
If you have any concerns about your betting, the 888 Stars support team is here to help — no judgment whatsoever. Every conversation is kept strictly confidential.
888 Stars regularly educates members on responsible betting through reminders, guides, and support resources.
Many people think responsible betting means betting less or not betting at all. It's actually not that simple. Responsible betting means keeping betting in its place as entertainment — the same way someone budgets for a cinema trip or a cricket match ticket.
888 Stars always reminds you — betting is not a source of income. There is always a chance of losing on any bet, and you need to be mentally and financially prepared to handle that loss. If losing a bet would affect your family's day-to-day expenses, it's best not to place that bet.
Responsible play also means taking breaks during sessions, setting time limits, and avoiding impulsive large bets driven by emotion. 888 Stars is committed to helping members build that awareness.
Playing on 888 Stars is entertainment — never use savings or money meant for essential expenses on betting. Set a separate entertainment budget and stick to it.
If you notice any of the warning signs above in yourself or someone close to you, contact 888 Stars support now. We're here to help — no judgment.
These tools are built for you — use them at your own pace, on your own terms
Set your own daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limit. Lowering your limit takes effect immediately, but increasing it requires a 72-hour waiting period — this is intentional, to prevent impulsive decisions.
If you need a break for a while, use the cooling-off option. You can choose any period from 1 day up to 6 weeks. During this time, you will not be able to log in to your account.
Take a self-exclusion break for the long term — from 3 months up to 5 years. Your account cannot be reactivated during this period, even if you request it yourself.
Set a limit on how long you can use the platform in a single session. Once the time is up, 888 Stars will show a reminder and automatically log you out.
Beyond deposit limits, you can also set a maximum stake per bet or a daily total bet cap separately — a useful tool if you want an extra layer of control.
To stop receiving bonus offers or promotional messages, opt out of marketing in your Account Settings. 888 Stars will no longer send you any promotional communications.
| Tool | Effective Time | Maximum Duration | Early Cancellation |

Activating your protection tools on 888 Stars is straightforward. Just follow the steps below.
Log in to 888 Stars with your phone number and password, then complete OTP verification.
Click your profile icon in the top right corner and open the "Account Settings" or "Responsible Gaming" menu.
Choose what you need — Deposit Limit, Cooling-Off, Self-Exclusion, or Session Limit.
Enter the limit you prefer. Take a moment to think it through before confirming — cooling-off and exclusion settings cannot be reversed.
Confirm with OTP or your password. Tools set to take effect immediately will be activated right away.
If you can't find the settings yourself, open 888 Stars live chat and say — "I want to set a Deposit Limit." Our team will assist you immediately.
888 Stars makes this commitment — we will never encourage any member to bet beyond the limits they have set for themselves. No promotion or offer will be designed in a way that exposes members to unreasonable risk. Any member who has taken self-exclusion will not be pressured to return.
888 Stars' responsible gaming program meets the standards set by international gaming licensing authorities. Compliance with these standards is audited every year.
