Responsible Betting and Gambling at 888STARZ
Gambling problems are associated with mental health issues and can manifest as depression, anxiety, and suicidal thoughts. These problems can also negatively impact family relationships, work performance, academic success, and may even lead to bankruptcy or criminal behavior.
At 888STARZ, gambling should be an entertaining pastime, not a means of earning money. While the company strives to provide a reliable and safe gaming environment, it also recognizes that gambling addiction can sometimes lead to serious problems. That's why the platform is committed to ensuring that users can enjoy its services without experiencing any negative consequences.
The operator strictly prohibits minors from participating in gambling activities. Its products and services are never advertised to underage individuals or those who are mentally vulnerable. The company guarantees that its advertising, sponsorship activities, and marketing materials do not contain any information aimed at enticing minors to engage with the platform.
If a minor has access to a shared computer, adult users must ensure that the minor cannot access their logins, passwords, or banking details. The service recommends using programs like NetNanny and Cyber Patrol to restrict access to gambling websites.
To ensure that all players are of legal age, 888STARZ conducts regular age verification checks. In cases where a player's age cannot be confirmed, the company will request additional information to verify that the player is of legal age. Account access may be restricted, and funds frozen until the necessary information is provided and the player's age is unambiguously confirmed.
The legal age for gambling is established by the laws of the player's country and typically corresponds to 18 years of age. The operator reminds all betting participants that they are responsible for ensuring the legality of their registration on the platform.
888STARZ is committed to transparency in its advertising campaigns and announcements. It does not mislead users or distort the nature of the services it provides. All users are informed about the chances of winning and the potential risks involved. The company provides services in accordance with the user's payment; excessive spending is not encouraged.
To help users determine if they may have a gambling addiction, the platform encourages answering the following questions honestly:
- Do you struggle to control your gambling spending?
- Have you ever borrowed money or stolen to continue gambling?
- Have you been neglecting your family and loved ones due to gambling?
- Do you react negatively when others express concerns about your gambling activity?
- Have you lost interest in your hobbies or usual leisure activities because of gambling?
- Do you feel depressed or have suicidal thoughts due to gambling losses?
- Do you lie about the amount of time or money you spend gambling?
If you answered "yes" to most of these questions, you might have a gambling problem. 888STARZ wants you to know that it's never too late to acknowledge an addiction and seek help. As a brand that values its users, 888STARZ will never knowingly contribute to the development of a gambling addiction.
To help reduce the risk of developing a gambling addiction, 888STARZ recommends the following:
- Never view gambling as a primary source of income.
- Set strict limits on the time and money you allocate to gambling and adhere to them.
- Only gamble with money you can afford to lose.
- Resist the temptation to chase losses.
- Avoid gambling if you are feeling depressed or are under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
For users who wish to limit their gambling activity, 888STARZ offers a voluntary self-exclusion service. This service allows users to close their account or restrict their ability to place bets for a period of 1 month, 6 months, or 1 year. To initiate the self-exclusion process, users must provide 888STARZ with photographs of documents confirming their account ownership. These documents should be emailed to [email protected].
The review process for a blocking request will not exceed 14 days. If the user fails to provide all the necessary documentation within this timeframe, the self-exclusion request will be canceled.
Once an account is self-excluded, it will remain inaccessible until the selected time period has elapsed. After the self-exclusion period, the user will regain access to all services on the platform. If a user wishes to lift the restrictions on their account before the self-exclusion period has expired, 888STARZ will review the request and make a decision at its discretion.
For users seeking to limit their online activity, 888STARZ recommends contacting customer support via email at [email protected]. The operator can impose a maximum limit on the amount that can be bet. These limits can be adjusted by the user at any time, but changes will only take effect 24 hours after the most recent adjustment.
During the self-exclusion period, the betting participant must refrain from opening a new account. The user acknowledges that the service shall not be held liable, financially or otherwise, if the user continues to gamble using a new account, a different name, or an alternate address during the self-exclusion period. In exceptional circumstances, an account may be unblocked prior to the expiration of the self-exclusion period.
