Gaming is about fun, excitement, and entertainment. But when it starts becoming a habit, it's important to stay aware. 8up believes an informed player is the best player — so we give you all the tools and information you need to always stay in control.
Responsible Gaming means enjoying gaming while staying within your limits. It's not a strict rulebook — it's a mindset. Knowing when to stop, how much to spend, and recognizing when gaming starts affecting your daily life.
Responsible gaming at 8up means creating an environment where you can enjoy yourself while staying fully in control. We want you to finish every gaming session feeling good — relaxed and smiling, not stressed.
Responsible gaming is built on three core principles: Awareness (understanding your own habits), Control (setting limits on time and money) and Balance (keeping gaming as one part of life, not all of it).
8up is located at: We're more than a gaming platform — we want every one of our users to be happy, healthy, and safe. Responsible gaming tools are free and always available.
We want you to stay in the driver's seat at all times. That's why 8up offers several powerful tools you can activate whenever you need them, right from your account settings:
All these tools are available under the "Responsible Gaming" section in your account settings. If you have trouble activating any of them, contact our support team.
Problems rarely appear overnight — they usually creep up gradually. That's why recognizing the early signs matters. The list below outlines warning signs across three levels:
| Level | Signs | Do's |
|---|---|---|
| Basic | Spending beyond your budget, repeatedly playing to recover losses | Set a Deposit Limit |
| Moderate | Hiding your gaming from family or friends, disruption to sleep or work | Take a Cooldown Period — Talk to Someone |
| Severe | Taking on debt, stress, feeling restless when not gaming | Self-Exclusion & Professional Help |
If you notice any of these signs in yourself, don't wait — reach out to our support team. We won't judge you; we're just here to help.
