Betting should be fun — a bit of excitement on a cricket match, a few spins on your favourite slot, nothing more. At 8upb, we want every player to enjoy the platform without it ever becoming a problem. That's why we've built a full set of responsible gaming tools directly into the platform, and why we're always here if you need support.
Every responsible gaming tool on 8upb is built into your account and available to use at any time — no waiting, no forms, no hassle.
Set a maximum amount you can deposit into your 8upb account each day, week, or month. Once you hit your limit, no further deposits are accepted until the period resets. You can lower your limit instantly, but increases take 24 hours to take effect — giving you time to think it over.
Set a cap on how much you're willing to lose in a given period. When your losses reach the limit you've set, 8upb will automatically prevent further betting until the period resets. This is one of the most effective tools for keeping your spending in check.
Choose how long each gaming session can last. When your time is up, 8upb will log you out automatically. You can also set reality check reminders that pop up at regular intervals to let you know how long you've been playing — a simple but powerful nudge.
Need a short break? A cooling-off period lets you pause your 8upb account for a set number of days — from 1 day up to several weeks. During this time, you won't be able to log in, place bets, or make deposits. It's a great option if you feel like you need a breather without committing to a full self-exclusion.
If you feel that gambling is becoming a problem, you can self-exclude from 8upb for a minimum of 6 months or permanently. Once activated, your account is closed immediately and you cannot reopen it during the exclusion period. This is the strongest tool we offer and we take it seriously.
Our support team is available 24/7 and trained to handle responsible gaming conversations with care and without judgment. If you're not sure whether you have a problem, just reach out — we'll listen, help you assess the situation, and point you toward the right tools or resources.
Responsible gaming means enjoying betting and casino games as a form of entertainment — not as a way to make money, escape problems, or cope with stress. At 8upb, we believe that the vast majority of our players bet for fun, and we want to keep it that way for everyone.
The reality is that gambling involves risk. You can win, but you can also lose — and over time, the house always has an edge. Understanding this is the foundation of responsible gaming. When you place a bet on 8upb, treat it the same way you'd treat buying a cinema ticket or going out for dinner: it's money spent on entertainment, and you should only spend what you can genuinely afford to lose.
Responsible gaming at 8upb is a shared effort. We provide the tools and the support, but you play a role too. Setting limits, taking breaks, and being honest with yourself about your habits are all part of playing responsibly. This page is here to help you do exactly that.
Golden rule: Only ever bet with money you can afford to lose. Never chase losses. If a session isn't going your way, the best move is always to stop and come back another time.
Problem gambling can develop gradually. Most people don't notice it happening until it's already affecting their daily life. Here are some of the most common warning signs that gambling may be becoming a problem for you or someone you know:
Spending more money on gambling than you originally planned, or more than you can afford.
Chasing losses — placing more bets to try to win back money you've already lost.
Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when you're not able to gamble.
Hiding your gambling activity from family or friends, or lying about how much you've spent.
Neglecting work, family, or other responsibilities because of time or money spent gambling.
Borrowing money or selling possessions to fund gambling activity.
If any of these signs sound familiar, it doesn't mean you're in crisis — but it does mean it's worth taking a step back and using some of the tools available on 8upb. The sooner you act, the easier it is to get things back on track.
Not sure whether your gambling habits are healthy? Ask yourself these questions honestly. If you answer "yes" to two or more, we'd encourage you to use one of the responsible gaming tools on 8upb or speak to our support team.
Two or more "yes" answers is a signal worth taking seriously. Contact the 8upb support team at [email protected] or use the self-exclusion tool in your account settings.
Setting responsible gaming limits on 8upb takes less than two minutes. Here's how to do it:
Head to /login and sign in with your registered email and password.
Click on your profile icon in the top right corner and select "Account Settings" from the dropdown menu.
Find the "Responsible Gaming" section in your account settings. All available tools are listed here in one place.
Select the type of limit you want to set — deposit, loss, or session time — and enter your preferred amount or duration.
Confirm your settings. Limits that reduce your spending take effect immediately. Increases require a 24-hour cooling period before they apply.
Need help? If you can't find the responsible gaming settings or need assistance setting limits, contact the 8upb support team via live chat or email and we'll walk you through it.
Even if you don't have a gambling problem, building good habits from the start makes the whole experience more enjoyable and sustainable. Here are some practical tips that every 8upb player should keep in mind:
8upb is strictly an 18+ platform. We verify the age of every player during registration and we take underage gambling extremely seriously. If we have any reason to believe that a player is under 18, their account will be suspended immediately pending verification.
If you share a device with younger family members, we strongly recommend taking steps to prevent them from accessing the 8upb platform. Here are a few practical measures:
Underage access: If you believe a minor has accessed or registered on 8upb, contact us immediately at [email protected]. We will investigate and take action right away.
Our support team is available around the clock. Whether you want to set limits, ask about self-exclusion, or just talk through your concerns — we're here.
Every tool is available directly in your account settings. Here's a full overview of what each one does and when to use it.
Set a hard cap on how much you can deposit per day, week, or month. Reductions apply immediately; increases require 24 hours. Best used when you want to stick to a fixed entertainment budget.
Automatically stops your betting when your losses reach a set amount within a period. Ideal for players who want a safety net against losing more than they're comfortable with in one go.
Caps how long each individual gaming session can last. When the time is up, you're logged out automatically. Pair this with reality check reminders for maximum awareness.
Receive a pop-up notification at regular intervals — every 30, 60, or 90 minutes — showing how long you've been playing and how much you've spent. A simple reminder to stay grounded.
Temporarily suspend your account for 1 to 42 days. No betting, no deposits, no access. Perfect when you feel like you need a short break but aren't ready for full self-exclusion.
Close your account for a minimum of 6 months or permanently. Takes effect immediately and cannot be reversed during the exclusion period. The most powerful tool we offer — use it if you need it.
