Using money set aside for essentials or playing with borrowed funds.

Tendency to hide gaming activity

Hiding gaming activity or lying to people close to you.

Playing beyond the set time limit

Being unable to stop gaming despite repeated attempts, or feeling uneasy when trying to quit.

Safe Gaming — It's Normal

Playing within a planned entertainment budget and being able to stop at any time.

Why Responsible Gaming Matters

Every day, thousands of people enjoy gaming on akbd for entertainment. For most, it's a fun experience — much like going to the movies or dining out. For some, however, gaming can develop into an addiction that causes real harm in their lives.

Akbd's goal is to create an environment where gaming always stays fun and never becomes a source of distress. That's why we treat responsible gaming not just as a rule, but as a core business value.

Ask yourself before you play

Before each session, ask yourself a few questions — they'll help you build healthy gaming habits:

  • Have I set a budget for today?
  • Will a loss affect my daily life?
  • Can I stop playing whenever I choose?
  • Am I playing for fun, or chasing money?

Keep in mind: Gaming is never a guaranteed source of income. Never bet money you cannot afford to lose.

Responsible Gaming Tips

Responsible gaming doesn't mean quitting — it means playing smart. The habits below will help you enjoy gaming while staying safe:

Plan Your Budget

Set a dedicated budget for gaming — just as you would for entertainment or dining out. Once that budget is spent, stop for the day. Wait until next month.

Manage Your Time

Decide in advance how long you will game each day and stick to that limit. akbd's Session Timer tool is there to help you do exactly that.

Don't make gaming your only form of entertainment

Spend time with family, catch up with friends, and pursue other hobbies. Let gaming be one part of your life — not all of it.

Warning: If you feel like gaming is becoming hard to control, don't wait — talk to our support team. Asking for help isn't a weakness; it takes courage.

Protection of Minors

Akbd strictly serves users aged 18 and above. If you have children or teenagers at home:

  • Use a strong password for your akbd account.
  • Use parental control software on your device.
  • Make it a habit not to leave your device while logged in.
  • Teach children about staying safe online.

Parental controls: Your device's operating system has built-in parental control settings. These can be enabled on both Android and iOS devices.

About Responsible Gaming FAQ

Self-exclusion is a feature that lets you block access to your akbd account for a set period — your choice of 6 months, 1 year, or 5 years. During this time, logging in will not be possible, and any attempt to open a new account will be rejected. The exclusion cannot be cancelled before the chosen period ends.

Lowering your deposit limit takes effect immediately. You can reduce your limit at any time from your account settings. However, increasing your limit requires a 24-hour waiting period — this protects you from placing impulsive bets in the heat of the moment.

akbd's support team is available 24/7 via live chat. Our team handles every conversation with full confidentiality and genuine empathy. There's no shame in talking about gaming addiction — it affects many people, and help is available.

If you find it hard to control your gaming, feel the urge to keep playing to recover losses, neglect family or work, or find yourself being dishonest with loved ones about gaming — there may be a problem. Review the checklist on this page regularly, and reach out to support if you have any concerns.

Withdraw your balance before activating self-exclusion. Withdrawals are not possible during the self-exclusion period, but your balance will be kept safe. Once the period ends, you can log back in and withdraw it.
