Responsible Gambling at HB88

Our Commitment to Responsible Gambling

At HB88 Australia, we are committed to promoting responsible gambling and providing a safe environment for all our players. We believe that gambling should be an enjoyable form of entertainment, not a way to make money or solve financial problems. Whether you play HB88 slots, HB88 live casino or HB88 sports betting, we want you to enjoy the experience safely. HB88 provides tools and resources to help you stay in control. Our responsible gambling policy applies to all HB88 Australia players and is central to how we operate. Gambling at HB88 should be fun—when the fun stops, stop.

Responsible Gambling Tools

We provide various tools to help you stay in control of your gambling:

Deposit Limits

Set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits to control how much you can deposit into your account. Once set, limits cannot be increased immediately - there is a cooling-off period to ensure you have time to reconsider.

Loss Limits

Set a maximum amount you're willing to lose over a specific period. When you reach this limit, you won't be able to continue playing until the period resets.

Session Time Limits

Set reminders to alert you when you've been playing for a certain amount of time. Taking regular breaks helps you stay in control.

Reality Checks

Enable periodic pop-up reminders that show you how long you've been playing and your session balance, helping you stay aware of your gambling activity.

Self-Exclusion

If you need a break from gambling, you can self-exclude from HB88 for periods ranging from 24 hours to permanent exclusion. During self-exclusion:

• Your account will be deactivated
• You won't receive any marketing communications
• You cannot create a new account
• Any remaining balance will be returned to you

Signs of Problem Gambling

Recognizing the signs of problem gambling is the first step to getting help. Warning signs include:

• Spending more money than you can afford to lose
• Gambling to escape problems or relieve stress
• Chasing losses by betting more to win back money
• Lying to family or friends about gambling habits
• Borrowing money or selling possessions to gamble
• Neglecting work, family, or other responsibilities
• Feeling restless or irritable when trying to stop gambling
• Gambling until all your money is gone

Tips for Responsible Gambling

1. Set a budget: Decide how much you can afford to lose before you start playing and stick to it.
2. Set time limits: Decide how long you want to play and stop when your time is up.
3. Never chase losses: Accept that losing is part of gambling. Don't try to win back what you've lost.
4. Don't gamble when emotional: Avoid gambling when you're upset, stressed, or depressed.
5. Take regular breaks: Step away from gambling regularly to maintain perspective.
6. Balance gambling with other activities: Don't let gambling become your only hobby.
7. Never borrow money to gamble: Only gamble with money you can afford to lose.
8. Know the odds: Understand that the house always has an edge.

Underage Gambling Prevention

Gambling at HB88 is strictly for adults aged 18 and over. We take strong measures to prevent underage gambling:
