Our Commitment

Six Pillars Responsible Gaming Starback88

These are not just words — every item below is a feature that is genuinely available on our platform today.

Self-Managed Deposit Limit

Set your own daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limit directly from your account panel. Limits take effect immediately and can only be decreased — not increased right away.

Cool-Off Period

Need a break? Use the Cool-Off feature to temporarily suspend your account for anywhere between 24 hours and 90 days. Your account cannot be accessed during this period.

Long-Term Self-Exclusion

Want to stop entirely for a longer period? Self-exclusion options are available for 6 months, 1 year, or permanently via your account settings or by contacting our support team.

Session Time Limit

Set a session duration limit — the system will send an alert when the limit is reached and can automatically end the session if you choose.

Strict Age Verification

Our KYC process ensures that only individuals aged 18 and above can register and play. Identity document verification is carried out before the first withdrawal is approved.

24/7 Personal Support

Our support team does more than answer technical questions — they are also trained to guide players who need help with gaming habits, with empathy and without judgement.

Gaming for Entertainment, Not Problem-Solving

Playing at Starback88 should feel light and enjoyable — like going to the movies or heading out for dinner with friends. It is entertainment, and like all forms of entertainment, it should be enjoyed within appropriate limits.

Problems arise when gaming is no longer used as entertainment, but as a way to escape daily stress, settle debts, or fill an emotional void. These are warning signs that should be taken seriously.

Starback88 takes a proactive approach — we don't wait for problems to occur. Instead, we provide tools and information to help you stay in control from the very start. When you register an account, all responsible gaming tools are already available by default in your settings panel.

Always remember: Never wager money you cannot afford to lose. Set a dedicated entertainment budget for gaming, just as you would for any other leisure activity.

Healthy Gaming Guidelines

  • Set time and spending limits before starting a gaming session — and stick to them.
  • Only use discretionary funds (not money set aside for daily needs, rent, or bills) for gaming.
  • Never chase losses — losing is part of the game, and trying to "win it back" usually makes things worse.
  • Take regular breaks — stand up, stretch, and do something else between sessions.
  • Do not play while under the influence of alcohol or in an emotionally unstable state.
  • Share your gaming activity with those close to you — transparency helps maintain accountability.
  • Make use of the deposit limit and session time tools available in your account.

Gaming should never affect your personal relationships, work performance, or financial wellbeing. If any of these are happening, it is time to step back and seek help.

Know the Signs

Signs of Problem Gaming Problem

Recognising early signs is the most important first step. There is nothing to be ashamed of — many people go through this.

Playing with money meant for daily essentials such as rent, bills, or food.
Frequently "chasing losses" — playing more in an attempt to recover money already lost.
Lying to family or friends about how much time or money you have spent on gaming.
Feeling uneasy, irritable, or anxious when unable to play or forced to stop.
Borrowing money or selling belongings to fund gaming.
Gaming is affecting your relationship with your partner, family, or your performance at work.
Spending far more time playing than originally planned.
Thinking about gaming constantly, including at work or when trying to sleep.

If you recognise two or more of the signs above in yourself, please use the self-exclusion tools in your account or contact our support team — we are here to help without any judgment.

FAQ

FAQ Responsible Gaming

Log in to your account and go to Settings → Responsible Gaming → Deposit Limit. Choose either a daily, weekly, or monthly limit, enter your preferred amount, and click "Activate". The limit takes effect immediately. If you want to lower your limit, the change is instant. If you want to raise it, a 7-day cooling-off period applies to ensure you are certain of your decision.

No — and this is intentional by design, for your protection. During an active self-exclusion period, your account cannot be reopened even if you request it yourself. This ensures the tool is genuinely effective as a form of self-protection. Once the exclusion period has fully expired, you may contact our support team to request reactivation.

Using tools such as deposit limits and session time limits will not void or affect your active bonuses. However, a lower deposit limit may affect your ability to meet rollover requirements within the set period. If you have any concerns about how your set limits interact with active promotions, contact our support team for clarification.

We understand this is a difficult situation. If you are concerned about someone close to you, there are three key things to keep in mind: first, open a conversation in a non-judgmental way; second, encourage them to use the available self-exclusion tools; third, seek support for yourself as well, as supporting someone struggling with addiction can be emotionally draining. The starback88 support team can help direct you to the right resources.

Your valid cash balance (not bonus balance) remains safely in your account throughout the self-exclusion period. You may request a withdrawal of this balance through our support channel without needing to reopen your account for play. Our team will process the withdrawal in accordance with standard verification procedures.
