Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming

At 918kaya, we are committed to promoting responsible gaming practices and ensuring that our platform provides a safe and enjoyable experience for all players in Papua New Guinea.

🎯 What is Responsible Gaming?

Responsible gaming means playing for entertainment purposes while maintaining control over your gambling behavior. It involves setting limits, understanding the risks, and knowing when to stop.

🛡️ Our Responsible Gaming Tools

1. Deposit Limits

Set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits to control your spending. You can adjust these limits at any time, but increases take 24 hours to take effect.

2. Time Limits

Set session time limits to remind yourself to take breaks. Our system will notify you when you've reached your set time limit.

3. Self-Exclusion

If you need a break from gaming, you can self-exclude for periods of 6 months, 1 year, or 5 years. During this time, you cannot access your account.

4. Reality Checks

Receive regular reminders about how long you've been playing and how much you've spent during your session.

⚠️ Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

It's important to recognize the warning signs of problem gambling:

• Spending more money than you can afford to lose
• Gambling to escape problems or relieve stress
• Lying to family and friends about gambling
• Borrowing money to gamble
• Neglecting work, family, or other responsibilities
• Feeling anxious or depressed about gambling
• Chasing losses by gambling more

💡 Tips for Responsible Gaming

Set a Budget

Only gamble with money you can afford to lose. Never use money meant for essential expenses like rent, bills, or food.

Set Time Limits

Decide how long you want to play before you start, and stick to it. Take regular breaks to refresh your mind.

Don't Chase Losses

If you're losing, don't try to win back your losses by gambling more. This usually leads to bigger losses.

Balance Gaming with Other Activities

Make sure gambling doesn't take over your life. Maintain hobbies, social activities, and other forms of entertainment.

Understand the Games

Learn how the games work and understand that they are based on chance. There's no guaranteed way to win.
