Encouraging Responsible Gambling at 888Starz India
Problems related to gambling and betting can lead to feelings of hopelessness, anxiety, and even thoughts of self-harm, and are closely associated with deteriorating mental health. These issues can drive individuals toward financial ruin or criminal activities, significantly affecting their relationships with family, work, and education.
Gambling and betting should be viewed as enjoyable activities rather than a way to make money.
Sadly, addiction to gambling can lead to various complications. We prioritize the well-being of our users and strive to create a safe and reliable platform where they can enjoy our services without any adverse consequences.
At 888Starz, we have a strict policy against underage gambling; anyone under 18 years of age is prohibited from participating.
We do not promote our services to minors or individuals struggling with mental health issues.
We are committed to ensuring that none of the materials used in our marketing campaigns or sponsorships are directed toward attracting underage users to our platform.
It's essential to safeguard your usernames, passwords, and financial details from minors who might access your devices.
You can utilize software such as NetNanny and Cyber Patrol to prevent access to gambling sites.
To confirm that all our players meet the legal age requirements, we regularly verify the ages of our participants.
If we are unable to verify a user's age during our checks, we might request additional information to ensure that the user is indeed of legal gambling age.
Until we receive and accurately assess the necessary information to confirm your age, there may be restrictions placed on your personal account, and your funds could be temporarily frozen.
Legal gambling age varies by country but is usually set at 18 years.
It is essential for customers to take responsibility for ensuring the accuracy of their registration information on 888Starz.
Our marketing and advertising do not mislead consumers or misrepresent the services we offer. We ensure that customers are informed about potential risks and their chances of winning. Services are paid for, and we do not endorse irresponsible spending. Please respond with 'Yes' or 'No' to the following questions based on your gambling habits:
- Are you spending too much money?
- Have you found yourself frequently borrowing money or stealing to continue gambling?
- Have you noticed a decrease in the time spent with your loved ones lately?
- Do remarks from others regarding your gambling behavior bother you?
- Have you lost interest in your usual hobbies or activities?
- Are you feeling depressed or contemplating suicide due to your losses?
- Have you ever lied about the time or money you've spent on gambling?
If you answered 'Yes' to most of these questions, you may have a gambling issue.
Recognizing that you have an addiction is the first step toward recovery, and it's never too late to seek help. We care about our clients and aim to prevent worsening their situations. Here are some recommendations to minimize your risk of developing a gambling addiction:
- Do not consider gambling as your primary source of income.
- Establish limits for your time and financial expenditure, and adhere to them.
- Only play with money that you can afford to lose.
- Refrain from following your losses.
- Avoid gambling if you are under the influence of substances or feeling low.
For those wishing to regulate their gambling, 888Starz offers a voluntary self-exclusion option. This allows individuals to close their accounts or limit their gambling activities for specific periods, such as one week, six months, or a year. Account closure is confirmed only after the user provides proof of identity via the required documents.
The assessment period for a self-exclusion request is capped at 14 days. If the necessary documents are not submitted within that timeframe, the request will be canceled.
Once a user opts for self-exclusion, their account will be deactivated for the selected duration. After this period, they can resume using our services. The company retains discretion over granting any requests for lifting restrictions before the self-exclusion term ends.
Feel free to reach out if you need help managing your gambling patterns online. We may impose a cap on bets as necessary. While you can modify these limits at any time, please note that any changes will take effect 24 hours after your last adjustment.
You must understand that the company will not be held accountable financially or otherwise if you continue to gamble using a new account under a different name during the self-exclusion period. In rare cases, a customer's account may be reactivated before the conclusion of the self-exclusion duration.
