Six Tools That POL88 Here for You

All tools can be activated directly from your account settings. No complicated process, no waiting – full control is in your hands.

Deposit Limit

Set the maximum amount you can deposit per day, week, or month. Once the limit is reached, our system automatically blocks further deposits until the period expires.

Loss Limit

Set your maximum net loss for a specified period. Once this limit is reached, the system automatically blocks further wagering to protect your balance.

Play Time Limit

Limit your daily gaming session duration. You will receive a reminder when 75% of the limit is reached, and the session will end automatically when the full limit is hit.

Cool-Off

Take a short break from the platform for 24 hours, 48 hours, or up to 30 days. During the break period, your account cannot be used for playing or making deposits.

Self-Exclusion

For a longer break, the self-exclusion option lets you temporarily close access to your account – from 3 months to an indefinite period.

Real-Time Reminders

Enable in-app notifications that remind you of your play duration, total amount wagered, and any behavioural patterns worth paying attention to.

Our Principles

Healthy Gambling Starts with the Right Mindset

You may have heard people say "gambling is fine as long as you know your limits" — and they're right. The problem is, many of us only realise those limits have been crossed long after the fact. That's why POL88 doesn't rely solely on your personal willpower to stop — we provide a system that helps you set those boundaries before they become an issue.

Responsible gaming is not about scaring you away from playing. It is about making sure you play for the right reasons – fun, entertainment, and relaxation – not to escape problems, fill an emotional void, or chase losses. The difference between a recreational player and a problem player usually comes down to one thing: control.

Keep this in mind: Casinos and gaming platforms are designed to give operators a long-term edge. Play with money you can afford to lose, not money you need.

At POL88, we believe a responsible gaming platform is one that genuinely cares about its members' wellbeing — not just the volume of deposits coming in. That's why our support team is specially trained to identify early signs of unhealthy play and will proactively reach out, not just when you ask for help.

Core Principles of Healthy Gaming

Before you log in and start playing, it is worth reviewing these core principles. Recreational players typically follow all of these without a second thought – but if one or two feel challenging, that is a sign worth paying attention to:

  • Set a playing budget before logging in and stick to it without exception
  • Treat money wagered as an entertainment cost, just like a movie ticket or a dinner out.
  • Never chase your losses — this is the most common trap that leads to problems.
  • Stop once you have reached your set time or budget limit, without any extra justification.
  • Never play under the influence of alcohol, when you are exhausted, or when you are emotionally unstable.
  • Make sure gaming does not interfere with your daily responsibilities – work, family, and health come first

If you find yourself repeatedly breaking any of the principles above, it is a sign that you should take precautions – whether by using POL88's self-control tools or seeking professional help.

POL88's Responsibility to Members

As a platform that cares about its members, POL88 is committed to:

  • Restrict access for individuals under 18 with strict age verification during registration
  • Train all customer support staff in responsible gaming protocols
  • Monitor concerning gaming patterns and proactively offer assistance
  • Not sending promotions to members who are in a self-exclusion or cool-off period
  • Provide clear information on win probabilities and odds conditions for each game type
  • Comply with all international industry responsible gaming guidelines

Know the Signs

Signs That Gaming May Be Starting To Problem

No one starts out intending to have a problem. Addiction develops gradually. The earlier you spot the signs, the easier it is to address.

Gaming Risk Scale

Low – Safe & ControlledLevel 1
Moderate – Needs AttentionLevel 2
High – Action RequiredLevel 3
Critical — Get Help NowLevel 4

This scale is a general guide only. If you are unsure of your risk level, speak with the POL88 support team.

Chasing losses. You keep playing after a loss hoping to "break even" — and your bets get bigger with each loss.

Lying about gambling. You hide how much time and money you spend on gaming from your partner, family, or friends.

Playing to escape. You play not for enjoyment but to escape problems, work stress, or feelings of discomfort.

Using essential funds. Money meant for bills, food, or family expenses is used for gambling because of the feeling that "this time will be a win".

Unable to stop even when you want to. You have tried to stop or cut back on playing but have been unsuccessful despite genuine intention.

Relationships affected. Family members or friends have started expressing concern about your gaming habits, or your relationships are becoming strained because of gambling.

If you identify two or more of the signs above in yourself, please use POL88's self-control tools immediately or contact our support team. Asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness.

How to Use Each Self-Control Tool POL88

01
Daily / Weekly / Monthly Deposit Limit

Go to Settings → Responsible Gaming → Deposit Limit. Choose a period (daily, weekly, or monthly), enter the amount, and confirm. Limits take effect immediately. To increase a limit, a 7-day waiting period applies to prevent impulsive decisions.

02
Net Loss Limit

Set a maximum net loss amount (deposits minus withdrawals) over a set period. Once the limit is reached, all new wagers are automatically blocked until the next period begins.

03
Session Play Time Limit

Set a maximum session duration from 30 minutes to 8 hours. A notification appears at 75% of the limit, and automatic logout occurs when the limit is reached. The timer resets at midnight every day.

04
Cool-Off Period

Choose a break period of 24 hours, 48 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During this period, login will be blocked and no promotional emails will be sent. The break cannot be cancelled before it ends.

05
Long-Term Self-Exclusion

For more serious cases, self-exclusion from 3 months to 5 years (or with no end date) is available. This option requires additional verification and cannot be reversed before the minimum 3-month period.

FAQ

General Questions About Responsible Gaming

Yes, all POL88 self-control tools can be activated directly from your account settings without needing to contact anyone. Go to Account Settings → Responsible Gaming and select the tool you want. Limits take effect immediately after confirmation. No approval or waiting period is required to lower or set new limits.

A newly set deposit limit takes effect immediately. However, to increase or remove an existing limit, a 7-day waiting period applies. This is an added safeguard we put in place to prevent impulsive decisions — especially in the aftermath of consecutive losses.

Yes. Self-exclusion only restricts playing activity and new deposits. Any balance remaining in your account can still be withdrawn during the self-exclusion period. Contact the POL88 support team via Live Chat to process your withdrawal during this time.

Contact the POL88 support team via Live Chat or email and explain your situation. While we cannot disclose another member's account information for privacy reasons, we can provide guidance on steps that can be taken and available professional support resources. Family support is one of the most important factors in recovering from a gambling problem.

Yes, POL88 enforces strict age verification during the registration process. Valid identification documents are required and all accounts are reviewed as part of the KYC process. Any account suspected of belonging to an individual under 18 will be suspended immediately until age verification is completed. We also encourage parents to use parental control software on shared devices to prevent access by minors.

Account sharing is not permitted under POL88 Terms and Conditions. Every individual must have their own account. This isn't just a rule — it's your protection. When each player has their own account, self-control tools such as deposit and withdrawal limits work on an individual basis and are far more effective.
