Responsible Gaming
We're committed to promoting safe and responsible gambling
At BK8, we are committed to endorsing responsible gaming as a policy of customer care and social responsibility. 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 problem gambling.
Our Commitment
We provide the following tools and resources to help you manage your gaming:
Deposit Limits
Set daily, weekly, or monthly limits on how much you can deposit into your account.
Loss Limits
Restrict the amount of money you can lose over a certain period to stay in control.
Session Time Limits
Control how long you stay logged in per session with automatic reminders.
Self-Exclusion
Take a break from gaming for a set period (from 6 months to 5 years).
Maintaining Control
Gambling should be treated as a fun pastime, and not as a means to generate income. Whilst the majority of the population can treat gambling as recreation and spend only what they can afford to risk, for some it can be more difficult.
⚠️ Important Reminders
- Gambling should be done in moderation and undertaken as a form of leisure not as a genuine way of making money
- Avoid chasing losses - if you've lost, take a break
- Only gamble when you can cover the losses
- Keep track of the time and monitor the amount of money you spend
- Set a budget before you start and stick to it
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Recognising the early signs of problem gambling can help you or someone you know seek help before it becomes more serious. Be aware of these warning signs:
🔍 Signs to Watch For
- Spending more than you can afford - Gambling with money meant for bills, rent, or essentials
- Chasing losses - Continuing to gamble to try and win back money you've lost
- Borrowing money to gamble - Taking loans or using credit cards specifically for gambling
- Neglecting responsibilities - Missing work, family events, or social obligations due to gambling
- Lying about gambling - Hiding how much time or money you spend gambling from family or friends
- Feeling restless when not gambling - Experiencing anxiety or irritability when you can't gamble
- Gambling to escape problems - Using gambling as a way to cope with stress, depression, or anxiety
Self-Assessment: Are You Gambling Responsibly?
Ask yourself these questions honestly. If you answer "yes" to any of them, it may be time to reassess your gambling habits:
Time & Money
Do you spend more time or money gambling than you originally planned?
Emotional Impact
Do you feel guilty, anxious, or depressed about your gambling?
Financial Strain
Have you ever borrowed money or sold possessions to fund gambling?
Relationships
Has gambling caused problems in your relationships or at work?
If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, we encourage you to use our responsible gaming tools or reach out to a support organisation for guidance.
How to Use Our Responsible Gaming Tools
BK8 provides several tools to help you maintain control. Here's how to access and use them:
Setting Deposit Limits
Deposit limits allow you to control how much money you can add to your account within a specific timeframe. You can set:

- You will not be able to log into your account
- You will not receive any marketing communications
- Any pending bets will be settled as normal
- You can request withdrawal of your remaining balance
To request self-exclusion, contact our Customer Support team via Live Chat or Telegram.
