Reponsible Gaming Policy

Responsible Gambling at 888bets Angola

At 888bets Angola, we are committed to promoting responsible gambling and ensuring that all our players enjoy a safe and sustainable gaming environment. Gambling should be a fun and entertaining experience, and we work hard to protect those who may be at risk of gambling-related harm.


What Is Problem Gambling?

Problem gambling exists when gambling leads to negative consequences that can affect a person’s:

  • Personal life – stress, anxiety, depression, or poor health

  • Work or studies – job loss, absenteeism, low performance

  • Finances – debt, bankruptcy, or loss of assets

  • Legal standing – involvement in theft, fraud, or scams

  • Relationships – family neglect, domestic violence, or relationship breakdowns

  • Community – pressure on charities and public services


Protecting Minors

Gambling is strictly restricted to individuals aged 18 and above. Our Terms and Conditions and the "Minor Protection" policy clearly state that minors are not permitted to open or operate an account.

  • All new customers must confirm their age and agree to identity verification.

  • We request identity documents when betting volume exceeds the equivalent of $1,000.

  • Accounts remain blocked for withdrawals until verification is completed.

  • Any misuse of another person’s identity by a minor will trigger our investigation and enforcement procedure.


Supporting Vulnerable Individuals

We require all customers to be of legal capacity to bet with us. However, we understand that some individuals may be affected by mental health issues or other vulnerabilities.

If our team identifies signs of mental distress during communication, our Vulnerable Customer Procedure is activated immediately.


Responsible Gambling Tools

888bets Angola offers several tools to help players stay in control:

Self-Assessment

Take a quick quiz to evaluate your gambling behaviour and understand your risk level. You’ll find the link in our Responsible Gambling section.

Limits

Set limits on how much you deposit, stake, or the amount of time you spend gambling:

  • Deposit Limits – Daily, Weekly, or Monthly

  • Stake Limits – Limit how much you wager on Sports or Casino

  • Session Limits – Restrict your gambling time per login session

You can update these limits anytime in your Account Settings > Limits.

Take a Break (Time-Out)

Pause your account for 12 hours up to 6 months. During this time, you can log in and withdraw funds but cannot place bets or receive promotions. The account reactivates automatically when the period ends, or you can request an early reactivation with a 7-day waiting period.

Self-Exclusion / Account Deactivation

If you’re experiencing gambling harm, you can self-exclude for 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, 3 years, 5 years, or permanently. During this time:

  • Your account is fully locked

  • You’ll receive no marketing communications

  • You cannot create new accounts

Reactivation or extension must go through our Customer Support team.


Tips for Gambling Responsibly

Follow these tips to gamble safely:

  • Gamble for entertainment, not income

  • Only gamble what you can afford to lose

  • Set limits on time and money before you start

  • Never chase losses

  • Don’t gamble when stressed, upset, drunk, or distracted

  • Take regular breaks and enjoy other hobbies

  • Seek help if you feel you’re losing control

Monitoring & Intervention

888bets Angola actively monitors gambling behaviour using specific triggers like:

  • Bet frequency or stake increases

  • Sudden changes in deposit limits

  • High gambling time or erratic play

  • Self-exclusion history or net loss

If we identify concerning behaviour, we may:

  • Send educational emails

  • Prompt a customer to respond and reflect

  • Call the customer directly

  • Recommend a tool or self-exclusion

  • Escalate to our Senior Management team

All interactions are documented in our system.


Supporting Players at Risk of Self-Harm

In serious cases where a customer expresses intent to self-harm or shows distress (including on social media), our trained staff follow a dedicated intervention process to provide immediate support and escalate where necessary.


Our Team Is Trained to Help

Every relevant team member receives ongoing responsible gambling training to:

  • Spot signs of gambling harm

  • Have supportive and effective conversations

  • Suggest tools or support services

  • Log every interaction securely

  • Escalate cases appropriately

Training is delivered upon onboarding, updated as needed, and refreshed at least annually.


If you ever feel like gambling is no longer fun, we urge you to use our tools or reach out to our support team. Help is always available.
