Responsible gaming: keep StarkBet fun
Gambling is entertainment paid for with money you can afford to lose. These are the tools in the StarkBet app that help keep it that way, the signs to watch for, and where to find confidential help.
Tools built into the StarkBet app
Open Profile › Responsible Gaming in the app or on the site. Every tool below applies immediately; limits can be lowered instantly, while raising a limit takes effect only after a cooling-off period.
- Deposit limits: a cap on how much you can deposit per day, week or month.
- Loss limits: a cap on net losses over a chosen period; play stops when it is reached.
- Wager limits: a maximum total stake per period, useful for sports bettors during long tournaments.
- Session reminders: a pop-up every 30, 60 or 90 minutes showing time played and net result.
- Time-out: lock your account for 24 hours, 7 days, 30 days or 6 weeks.
- Self-exclusion: close access for 6 months, 1 year, 5 years or permanently. Exclusions cannot be reversed early, and marketing stops immediately.
You can also ask support via live chat to apply any of these on your behalf.
Practical habits
- Decide a budget for the month before you deposit, and set it as a deposit limit so it is enforced for you.
- Never chase losses. A losing session is not owed a winning one.
- Do not gamble with borrowed money, money for bills, or when you are upset, tired or drinking.
- Treat bonuses as extra playing time, not as a reason to deposit more than planned.
- Take breaks. Aviator rounds and live tables are designed to be continuous; the session reminder helps you notice time passing.
Warning signs
Consider taking a break or seeking help if you recognise several of these: spending more time or money than you intended; hiding your play from family; borrowing to gamble; gambling to escape stress or to win back losses; feeling irritable when not gambling; neglecting work, studies or relationships. Problem gambling is a recognised condition that responds to support, and asking for help early makes a difference.

Protecting minors

Legal note for India
Online real-money gaming laws vary between Indian states, and some states restrict or prohibit it. It is your responsibility to check the rules where you live before registering or depositing. StarkBet applies its own geographic restrictions in line with its licence.
