Bonus888 is for adults aged 18 and over. Gambling should be entertainment you can afford, never a way to make money or pay off a debt. This page has practical ways to keep it that way, the signs that it is going wrong, and where to get help.

Before you play

• Set a budget. Decide how much you can afford to lose this week, deposit no more than that, and treat it as spent once it goes in.
• Set a time limit. Decide how long you will play and stop when the time is up, whether you are winning or losing.
• See bonuses for what they are. Free credit and deposit bonuses are extra play, not income. Most bonus balances run out before they reach the cash-out target, and every offer has its limits in its terms window.
• Never chase losses. A bigger deposit to win back what you lost is how small losses become large ones.
• Play with a clear head. Not when you are upset, exhausted or have been drinking.

Keep track of what you spend

The History button in the bottom menu shows your account history. Look at it regularly and compare what you have deposited with what you have withdrawn. If the number surprises you, that is a reason to stop and think.

Signs that gambling is becoming a problem

• You spend more money or time than you planned, again and again.
• You borrow money, or use money meant for bills, to gamble.
• You hide your gambling from family or friends.
• You feel restless or irritable when you are not playing.
• Work, study or family time is suffering because of it.

If any of these sound familiar, take a break and talk to someone.

Getting help

• Take a break from your account: ask Live Chat, in the bottom menu, about pausing or closing your account.
• Talk to someone you trust: a family member, a friend or your doctor.
• Free, confidential support in Malaysia: Befrienders offers emotional support to anyone who is struggling, by phone, email or in person.

Under 18s

Under 18s must not open an account or play. If you share a phone or computer with children, keep your login private and lock the device.
