S9Asia believes that online gaming should be approached as entertainment and enjoyed responsibly. Responsible gaming means maintaining control over how much time and money you spend and understanding that game outcomes are not guaranteed.
This Responsible Gaming page provides general guidance to help users make informed decisions when participating in available gaming activities.
Gaming Is Entertainment
Online casino games, slots, sports-related games, fishing games, e-sports and other gaming activities should be treated as entertainment.
Game outcomes can vary, and there is no guaranteed method for winning. Users should never view gaming as a reliable source of income or use it to solve financial problems.
Before participating, consider whether gaming fits comfortably within your personal entertainment budget.
Set a Spending Limit
One of the most important responsible gaming practices is establishing a spending limit before starting.
Only use money that you can afford to lose without affecting essential expenses such as housing, food, education, bills or other financial responsibilities.
Once your personal limit has been reached, stop playing rather than adding additional funds.
Never borrow money to continue gaming, and avoid using credit intended for essential expenses.
Manage Your Time
Responsible gaming also involves managing the amount of time spent on gaming activities.
Long sessions can make it easier to lose track of time. Consider setting a specific amount of time for entertainment and taking regular breaks.
Gaming should not interfere with work, education, family responsibilities, sleep or other important activities.
If you notice that gaming is taking more time than intended, consider stepping away and reviewing your habits.
Understand the Games
Different games have different rules, mechanics and potential outcomes.
Before participating, read the instructions and understand how the particular game works.
For casino-style games, users should understand the relevant rules and any displayed information before making decisions.
For sports or other activities, users should understand the specific conditions applicable to the activity.
Understanding a game does not guarantee a particular outcome.
Avoid Chasing Losses
Losses are a normal possibility in games involving chance or uncertain outcomes.
Trying to recover previous losses by increasing spending can lead to larger losses and reduced control.
If you lose money, do not automatically increase your spending in an attempt to win it back.
Instead, consider stopping and returning only if you remain within your original entertainment limits.
Never Treat Gaming as Income
Online gaming should not be considered a guaranteed method of earning money.
No strategy can eliminate the possibility of losing in games where outcomes depend partly or entirely on chance.
Users should maintain separate budgets for essential expenses and entertainment.
If you are experiencing financial difficulties, gaming should not be used as a solution.
Recognize Warning Signs
It can be useful to recognize signs that gaming may be becoming difficult to control.
Potential warning signs can include:
- Spending more than originally planned
- Spending more time gaming than intended
- Hiding gaming activity from family or friends
- Borrowing money to continue gaming
- Trying repeatedly to recover losses
- Neglecting work, education or personal responsibilities
- Feeling unable to stop
- Becoming concerned about the amount of money spent
If any of these concerns apply to you, consider taking a break from gaming and seeking appropriate support.
Take a Break
Taking breaks is a simple way to maintain control.
If gaming becomes stressful or begins affecting your daily routine, stop and spend time on other activities.
Users may benefit from establishing periods where they do not participate in gaming.
A break can provide an opportunity to review spending, time and personal habits without the pressure of continuing a gaming session.
Protect Your Account
Responsible gaming also includes responsible account management.
Keep your username, password and authentication information private. Do not allow other people to use your account.
If you believe someone has accessed your account without permission, contact the appropriate S9Asia support channel.
Age and Legal Requirements
Users must meet all applicable age and legal requirements before accessing or participating in relevant gaming services.
Individuals who are not legally permitted to participate should not create accounts or use restricted gaming services.
Users are responsible for understanding the laws and regulations applicable to them.
Promotions and Bonuses
Promotions can provide additional entertainment opportunities, but users should always read the associated terms before participating.
Promotional requirements may include qualifying conditions, time limits or other restrictions.
Never increase spending simply to qualify for a promotion. A promotional offer should not encourage you to exceed your personal entertainment budget.
Self-Control
Responsible gaming starts with self-awareness.
Before playing, ask yourself whether you are comfortable with the amount of money and time you plan to spend.
If you feel pressured to continue, take a break.
Keeping written limits or using personal reminders can also help maintain discipline.
Getting Help
If gaming is becoming difficult to control or is causing financial, personal or relationship problems, consider seeking help from a qualified professional or an appropriate support organization.
Talking to someone you trust may also be useful.
Seeking assistance early can make it easier to regain control.
