Six Pillars Responsible Gaming We

Responsible gaming is more than just a slogan at atm8 — it is part of how we build our platform and care for every member.

Flexible Deposit Limit

Set a daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limit based on your own financial means. The limit takes effect immediately and can be lowered at any time through your account settings at atm8.

Loss Limit

Decide how much you are willing to lose per day, week, or month. Once your loss limit is reached, the atm8 system will automatically prevent you from continuing to play for that period.

Session Time Limit

Limit the amount of time you spend in each gaming session. atm8 will remind you when the time limit is approaching and automatically end the session after the set limit to prevent excessive play.

Temporary Self-Break

Need a break? Temporarily suspend your account — choose a period from 24 hours, 3 days, 1 week, 1 month, or up to 6 months. During the break, login is not permitted and no promotions will be sent to you.

Self-Exclusion

If you feel that gaming is starting to have a negative impact on your life, use the self-exclusion feature to permanently close your account. This decision is final and cannot be reversed during the set period.

24/7 Professional Support

The atm8 support team is here to help you at any time. If you or someone you care about needs help with gaming habits, we will guide you to the right resources and professionals.


How to Use Responsible Gaming Tools

All self-control tools at atm8 are designed to be easy to access and use. You can manage them directly through your account settings without needing to contact support.

Setting a Deposit Limit

Deposit limits help you plan your entertainment budget more effectively. Here is how to set one:

  • 1Login to your atm8 account.
  • 2Go to the "Account Settings" or "Responsible Gaming" section.
  • 3Choose the limit type — daily, weekly, or monthly.
  • 4Enter your desired limit amount and confirm.
  • 5Limits take effect immediately. Limit reductions are instant; limit increases only take effect after 7 days.

Setting a Session Time Limit

Control how long you play in each session to avoid losing track of time.

  • 1Access the "Responsible Gaming Settings" menu.
  • 2Select "Session Time Limit" and set your limit in minutes or hours.
  • 3The system will display a reminder 10 minutes before the limit is reached.
  • 4The session will end automatically once the limit is reached.

Activating a Self-Break

A self-break allows you to take a break from the atm8 platform for a set period of time.

  • 1Login and go to "Account Settings".
  • 2Select "Self-Break" and choose a suitable duration.
  • 3Confirm your choice — the account will be suspended immediately.
  • 4No promotional emails will be sent during the break period.
  • 5The account will be automatically reactivated once the break period ends.

Permanent Self-Exclusion

This option is for those who need a firmer measure to stop gaming activity.

  • 1Contact the atm8 support team via live chat.
  • 2State your request for self-exclusion and the desired duration.
  • 3Our team will process the request and close the account within 24 hours.
  • 4Valid fund balances will be processed for withdrawal.

Self-exclusion is a serious step. Once activated, the account cannot be reopened during the set period, even if you request otherwise.


Is Your Gaming Already Exceeded the Limit?

Problem gaming can happen to anyone without them realising it. Recognising the early warning signs is the most important first step to getting help in time.

Spending more than you can afford on gaming and neglecting basic needs such as bills and food.
Attempting to chase losses by placing larger bets in hopes of "breaking even" again.
Lying to family members or friends about how much time and money has been spent on gaming.
Feeling restless, irritable, or uncomfortable when unable to play or forced to stop playing.
Neglecting work, family, or social responsibilities due to excessive time spent on gaming.
Borrowing money or selling assets to fund gaming.
Using gaming as a primary escape from problems, stress, or negative feelings in daily life.
Feeling unable to stop playing despite multiple attempts and genuine intentions to do so.

Tips Play Responsibly

Online gaming should be an enjoyable form of entertainment, not a source of stress. Follow this practical guide to ensure your gaming experience at atm8 stays positive and in control.

1
Set a Budget Before Playing

Decide how much entertainment money you can spend before opening the platform. Think of it like a movie or concert ticket — money you are willing to spend for fun, not an investment.

2
Don't Chase Losses

Gaming outcomes are random and independent of one another. Increasing your bets to "win back" lost money is a tactic that will not work and will only make things worse.

3
Take Regular Breaks

Set a reminder to take a break every 30 to 60 minutes during play. Get up, stretch, have some water, and step back to reality briefly before continuing your gaming session.

4
Avoid Playing When Emotionally Unstable

Do not use gaming as a way to cope with stress, grief, or anger. An unstable emotional state can cloud your judgement and lead to decisions you will regret.

5
Keep Other Activities in Your Life

Maintain a balance between gaming and other activities such as sports, time with family, or pursuing hobbies. Gaming is just a small part of a balanced and meaningful life.

FAQ Responsible Gaming

Deposit limits can be changed through your account settings. Limit reductions take effect immediately. However, limit increases will only take effect after a 7-day waiting period — this is to protect you from impulsive decisions.

Funds in your account remain safe during the self-break period. You cannot make deposits or play, but your existing balance will not be affected. Once the break period ends, you can log back in and use your balance as normal.

Self-exclusion can be applied for a minimum period of 6 months up to 5 years, or permanently. During this period, atm8 will not send any promotions and re-registration is not permitted until the period expires.

Yes, atm8 conducts a strict age verification (KYC) process for all new members. A valid identification document is required, and any account suspected of belonging to an underage individual will be suspended immediately until verification is complete.

Contact the atm8 support team via live chat and explain your situation. We can help guide you to the right support resources and walk you through the available options. For information regarding another member's account, we are bound by our privacy policy and can only act on valid requests.

A self-break is a temporary suspension you can set yourself, from 24 hours up to 6 months — the account will be reactivated automatically once the period ends. Self-exclusion, on the other hand, is a stricter and more permanent measure for a minimum of 6 months, where the account cannot be reopened even if you request otherwise during that period.
