Responsible Gaming

Fun88’s Responsible Gambling Policy

Fun88 is committed to endorsing responsible wagering as well as promoting awareness of the problem of gambling and improving prevention, intervention and treatment. fun88 ’s Responsible Gambling Policy sets out its commitment to minimise the negative effects of problem gambling and to promote responsible gambling practices.

We believe it is our responsibility to you, our customers, to ensure that you enjoy your wagering experience on our site while remaining fully aware of the social and financial harms associated with gambling. Being in this business for years, we are aware of the causes and effects of all sorts of gambling, online and offline.

In order to assist our players to gamble responsibly, we ensure that all our staff receive training in all aspects of responsible gambling. Please contact our Helpdesk if you require further information or assistance.

Maintaining Control

Whilst the majority of our customers gamble within their means for some it can be more difficult. In order to maintain control of your gambling habits we would like you to bear in mind the following points:

Gambling should be done in moderation and undertaken as a form of leisure not as a genuine way of making money
Avoid chasing losses
Only gamble when you can cover the losses
Keep track of the time and monitor the amount of money you spend

If you need to talk to someone about any concerns you may have with your gambling, please contact one of the organisations which we have detailed below.

Do You Have A Problem?

If you are concerned that gambling has had a negative impact on your life or someone else’s then the following questions may help you find out.

Does gambling prevent you from attending work or college?
Do you gamble to pass the time or to escape boredom?
Do you gamble alone for long periods of time?
Have others ever criticised you for your gambling?
Have you lost interest in family, friends or hobbies due to gambling?
Have you ever lied to cover up the amount of money or time you spend gambling?
Have you lied, stolen or borrowed in order to maintain betting habits?
Are you reluctant to spend ‘gambling money’ on anything else?
Do you only stop gambling until you lose all your money?
After losing, do you feel that you have to try and win back the losses as soon as possible?
If you run out of money when gambling, do you feel lost and in despair and feel the need to gamble again as soon as possible?
Do arguments, frustrations or disappointments make you want to gamble?
Does gambling make you depressed or even suicidal?

The more questions that you answer ‘yes’ to, the more likely it is that you are having difficulties with your gambling habit. To speak with someone who can give you advice and support, please contact one of the organisations detailed below.

Gamblers Anonymous is a fellowship of men and women who have joined together to do something about their own gambling problems and help other compulsive gamblers do the same.

PLEASE NOTE THAT ANYONE UNDER THE AGE OF 21 FOUND TO BE USING THIS SITE WILL HAVE ANY WINNINGS FORFEITED AND MAY ALSO BE REPORTED TO THE POLICE.

Filtering Systems

ICRA (the Internet Content Rating Association) offers a complete filtering solution for parents and fun88 is registered with them as a ‘gambling content’ site. If you share your computer with friends or family who are under the legal age to register or bet with our site, please click on the link to register: www.icra.org.
