Gambling on a digital gaming platform like 1Win is entertainment. For most players, it stays that way. But for some, betting can become a problem. This page exists to help you stay in control, recognise warning signs early, and access support if you need it.
1Win Responsible Gambling: The Golden Rules
- Only bet what you can afford to lose. Treat every deposit as the cost of entertainment — not as an investment or income source.
- Set a budget before you play. Decide your maximum spend for the session, week, or month before you open the app.
- Set a time limit. It is easy to lose track of time when playing. Set an alarm and stick to it.
- Never chase losses. Losing streaks are part of gambling. Depositing more to "win it back" is how small losses become large ones.
- Do not gamble when emotional. Stress, anxiety, grief, or anger impair judgement. Do not play as a way to cope with negative feelings.
- Balance gambling with other activities. If betting is crowding out other interests, social connections, or responsibilities, that is a signal to pause.
Tools Available on the 1Win Digital Gaming Platform
1Win provides several tools to help players manage their activity. Log into your account and navigate to the responsible gambling section to access:
- Deposit limits — cap the amount you can deposit per day, week, or month.
- Session time limits — set a maximum session duration after which you are automatically logged out.
- Loss limits — restrict the amount you can lose within a defined period.
- Cool-off periods — take a short break from the platform (24 hours to 30 days) without permanently closing your account.
- Self-exclusion — permanently block access to your account. See our Self-Exclusion page for full details.
Recognising Problem Gambling
Problem gambling is not about how much you bet — it is about the impact betting has on your life. Ask yourself honestly:
- Do you bet more than you planned to, or for longer than intended?
- Do you feel restless or irritable when trying to cut down?
- Have you borrowed money or sold belongings to fund gambling?
- Has gambling caused problems at work, with family, or financially?
- Do you hide your gambling from people close to you?
- Do you gamble to escape problems or relieve feelings of helplessness?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, please reach out to one of the support organisations below. Asking for help is not weakness — it is the smartest bet you can make.
