Responsible Gaming

Responsible gaming means approaching gambling on 96-odds.com as a form of entertainment, not a way to earn income or solve financial problems. Your play on the Odds 96 version of the site should always be voluntary, affordable, and under your conscious control.

OBSERVE: Gambling carries financial and emotional risks, especially when using an offshore, non-UKGC-licensed operator such as 96-odds.com, which does not participate in UK schemes like GamStop. UK players using this international service do not benefit from UK Gambling Commission protections.

EXPAND: To stay safe, treat every stake as money you can afford to lose, set clear limits before you play, and pay attention to how gambling affects your mood, time, and finances. Combine the tools available on 96-odds.com with trusted independent UK help services whenever you need extra support.

REFLECT: If gambling stops feeling fun, becomes a source of pressure, or affects your relationships or finances, you should reduce or stop playing, use the limits and self-exclusion options described below, and reach out to professional support. The team behind Odds 96 is committed to supporting you with information, tools, and responsive assistance, but the final decisions about your play always remain with you.

Risk Awareness

OBSERVE: Problem gambling often develops gradually. Early warning signs may be subtle, but they tend to appear in your thoughts, feelings, and financial behaviour long before a crisis occurs.

EXPAND: The following signs may indicate a developing gambling problem:

Gambling more frequently, for longer sessions, or for higher stakes than you originally planned.
Thinking about 96-odds.com or your bets when you are at work, at school, or with family, and finding it hard to focus on anything else.
Chasing losses by immediately trying to win back money you have lost, instead of accepting losses as part of gambling.
Borrowing money, using overdrafts, credit cards, or crypto you need for essential expenses in order to keep gambling.
Hiding or lying about how much time or money you spend on the Odds 96 site, or feeling ashamed when asked.
Neglecting personal, family, work, or study responsibilities because you are gambling or thinking about gambling.
Feeling stressed, anxious, irritable, or depressed when you cannot gamble, or using gambling to escape difficult emotions.

Self-assessment check (for your private use):

Do I often gamble longer or spend more than I originally intended?
Have I tried to cut down or stop gambling, but found that I could not?
Have I ever hidden deposits, losses, or gambling-related debts from family or friends?
Have my gambling activities at 96-odds.com caused arguments, financial problems, or performance issues at work or study?
Do I feel that gambling is one of the few things that makes me feel better, especially when I am stressed or upset?

REFLECT: If you answered "yes" to one or more of these questions, your gambling may be risky or harmful. Consider taking an immediate break, lowering your limits, or using self-exclusion. Seek confidential advice from independent UK services such as GamCare or Gambling Therapy, even if you are unsure whether you "qualify" as having a problem. Early action greatly reduces the risk of long-term harm.

Limits & Tools

OBSERVE: Setting and respecting limits is one of the most effective ways to keep gambling under control, especially when using an offshore site like 96-odds.com that is not regulated by the UK Gambling Commission.

EXPAND: On the Odds 96 version of 96-odds.com, you should use the available account tools to define how much time and money you are prepared to spend before you start playing.

Deposit limits (daily, weekly, monthly)

Log in to your account on 96-odds.com and go to "My Account" or "Profile".
Open the "Responsible Gaming" or "Limits" section (naming may vary slightly, but it will be clearly identified as a safer gambling area).
Select the type of limit you want to set: daily, weekly, and/or monthly deposit limit.
Enter a maximum amount that you can comfortably afford to lose in the chosen period. Be conservative and base this on disposable income only, not on savings required for rent, bills, debts, or essentials.
Confirm your new limit. In line with industry standards, any request to decrease limits should take effect as soon as reasonably possible, while any request to increase limits may be subject to a delay or additional checks.

Time and session limits

Where session timers are available, you can set a maximum continuous play time (for example 30, 60, or 90 minutes) in the same Responsible Gaming section of your account.
Once enabled, the timer will display how long you have been logged in and may show reminders or force a logout when the limit is reached.
Use these reminders as a strict boundary: when the session ends, step away from your device and avoid logging in again until the next day or your next scheduled play time.

Short breaks ("Time-Out")

From your account menu, navigate to "Responsible Gaming" -> "Time-Out" or a similarly named option.
Select a pause period, for example 24 hours, 48 hours, or 72 hours. Choose the longest period that matches how concerned you feel about your current play.
Confirm the time-out. During this period you should not be able to place bets or make deposits on 96-odds.com, although you may still be able to log in to check information or balances depending on the configuration.
Use the break to review your finances, complete the self-assessment above, and consider whether a longer self-exclusion (six months or more) is appropriate.

REFLECT: Limits only work if you treat them as non-negotiable. Do not create multiple accounts, use different devices, or move to other sites to bypass a limit. If you feel tempted to do so, this is a strong sign that you should stop gambling and seek professional help.

Self-Exclusion

OBSERVE: Self-exclusion is a stronger measure than ordinary limits or time-outs. It is designed for situations where you feel unable to control your gambling and need the platform to block your access for a significant period.

EXPAND: Because Odds 96 operates on the international 96-odds.com platform under a Curaçao eGaming sub-license (no. 1668/JAZ, last verified January 2025), its internal self-exclusion tools apply only to this site and do not connect to UK-wide schemes such as GamStop. You should therefore consider combining internal self-exclusion with external tools and national registers.

How to request self-exclusion

Log in to your account at 96-odds.com.
Go to "My Account" -> "Responsible Gaming" -> "Self-Exclusion" (wording may vary but will clearly reference exclusion or blocking).
Choose the exclusion period. Typical options range from 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, up to permanent (lifetime) exclusion.
Read the explanatory text carefully. It will describe how long the block will last and whether it can be lifted early (permanent exclusions cannot normally be reversed).
Confirm your decision by following the on-screen instructions. You may be asked to re-enter your password or confirm by e-mail to ensure that the request is genuine.
If you cannot access your account or prefer written communication, send an e-mail from your registered address to support@96-odds.com clearly stating that you request self-exclusion from Odds 96 and 96-odds.com, and specify the desired duration (minimum 6 months).

Consequences of self-exclusion

You will not be permitted to log in and place bets or play casino games on 96-odds.com during the exclusion period.
You may be prevented from creating new accounts; attempting to do so is a breach of the spirit of self-exclusion and may result in closure of any new accounts identified.
Ordinary access to deposits may be blocked during the exclusion. As a general principle, any withdrawable balance at the moment your self-exclusion is processed should remain available for withdrawal, subject to identity and security checks and the general terms and conditions. Promotional bonuses and unfinished bonus wagering are normally cancelled.
Self-exclusion on this site does not automatically extend to other gambling operators, including those licensed in the UK. To protect yourself fully, you should also register with national schemes such as GamStop (for UK-licensed sites) and consider blocking software as described below.

REFLECT: If you are thinking about self-exclusion, it is usually safest to act immediately rather than waiting "one more day". Once excluded, seek independent advice from UK services like GamCare or Gambling Therapy to build a long-term recovery plan.

Support Resources

OBSERVE: Effective protection requires more than internal tools. Independent, confidential support gives you access to trained professionals and peer communities who understand gambling-related harm.

EXPAND: As an offshore, non-GamStop operator serving UK players, Odds 96 strongly recommends that you use external UK and international resources alongside the tools available on 96-odds.com.

Local support for UK players

National self-exclusion schemes

United Kingdom - GamStop: A free national self-exclusion scheme for UK-licensed online operators (see gamstop.co.uk). Registration prevents you from using UKGC-licensed gambling websites and apps. Note that GamStop currently does not block access to offshore sites such as 96-odds.com, so you should combine it with site-specific self-exclusion and blocking software.
Spain - RGIAJ register: Spain operates a national self-exclusion register via the Directorate General for the Regulation of Gambling (DGOJ / RGIAJ). Spanish residents can request exclusion from licensed sites in that jurisdiction.
Other jurisdictions: Many countries maintain national exclusion lists or local schemes. If you live outside the UK, check your local regulator's website or speak to a support organisation such as Gambling Therapy for region-specific guidance.

Blocking apps and device-level controls

Gamban: Paid software that blocks access to most gambling sites and apps across devices. Useful for UK and international sites, including offshore operators.
BetBlocker: Free gambling-blocking software offered as a charitable service, providing long-term blocking options.
Other tools: Use parental-control software, browser blocking lists, and app store restrictions to reduce exposure to gambling content, especially on shared devices.

Family and friends support

GamCare and Gambling Therapy provide dedicated support for affected others, including online forums and moderated chats where you can share experiences anonymously.
Family-focused groups, such as GamAnon (linked via gam-anon.org and some national Gamblers Anonymous sites), offer peer support for relatives and partners of people with gambling problems.

REFLECT: All of these services are confidential and operate independently of 96-odds.com. Contacting them does not affect your account status and can be done whether or not you currently use our site. Reaching out for help is a sign of strength, not weakness.

Help for Family

OBSERVE: Gambling-related harm often affects partners, children, parents, and friends. You may notice the problem before the gambler is ready to acknowledge it.

EXPAND: If someone you care about is struggling with their gambling on Odds 96 or any other site, consider the following practical steps:

Prepare calmly: Before talking, gather factual information (bank statements, transaction records, screenshots of 96-odds.com activity) and seek initial advice from services like GamCare so you feel supported.
Choose the right moment: Pick a quiet time when the person is not actively gambling, under the influence of alcohol or drugs, or in the middle of a crisis.
Use non-judgmental language: Focus on how their behaviour affects you and the family ("I feel worried when...") rather than attacking their character ("You are irresponsible").
Offer concrete options: Suggest using deposit limits, time-outs, or self-exclusion on 96-odds.com, and registering with schemes such as GamStop. Encourage them to contact support organisations or join you in a call or online chat.
Protect yourself and dependants: Safeguard essential finances by separating accounts where possible, limiting access to shared credit, and seeking professional financial advice if debts have built up.

Family members can also access dedicated support:

GamCare's gamcare.org.uk offers information and one-to-one or group support for affected others in the UK.
Gambling Therapy (gamblingtherapy.org) hosts forums and live chat for both gamblers and family members worldwide.
GamAnon (gam-anon.org and local chapters) provides mutual-aid meetings and resources for relatives and friends.

REFLECT: You cannot control another person's gambling, but you can set boundaries, seek help for yourself, and encourage treatment. If there is any risk of harm to yourself or others, contact emergency services or crisis helplines immediately. Consider speaking to a psychotherapist, counsellor, or GP who has experience with addiction for tailored guidance.

Operator's Commitment

OBSERVE: The operator of Odds 96, operating internationally via 96-odds.com under a Curaçao eGaming framework, recognises that high-volatility casino games and sports betting can create particular risks, especially when combined with crypto payments and higher limits than those typically allowed by UK-licensed operators.

EXPAND: Within this offshore regulatory context, the operator aims to implement robust internal risk checks and interventions, even though it is not licensed by the UK Gambling Commission and is not bound by UK-specific affordability rules or GamStop integration.

Internal monitoring and risk checks

Automated systems may monitor account behaviour such as rapid increases in deposits, frequent failed deposits, multiple payment methods, long or late-night sessions, and persistent chasing of losses.
Patterns that indicate elevated risk (for example, repeated time-out cancellations, multiple requests for limit increases, or frequent bonus-triggered play) may trigger enhanced internal review.
Where concerns arise, the operator may apply additional checks, temporary restrictions, or request further information in line with its general terms and conditions and Curaçao eGaming requirements.

Proactive communication and interventions

If significant risk indicators are detected, support staff may contact you via on-site messages or registered e-mail to highlight safer gambling options, suggest limits, or recommend a cooling-off period.
In more serious cases, the operator may propose or apply restrictions such as lower deposit limits, mandatory time-outs, or self-exclusion, especially where you confirm that you are experiencing harm.
All communications relating to responsible gaming are handled discreetly and are treated as sensitive. However, they do not constitute legal, financial, or therapeutic advice.

REFLECT: These measures cannot replace your own responsibility to monitor and control your play. Because Odds 96 operates as an offshore, non-GamStop service, you should assume that UK-style regulatory protections do not apply and actively complement our internal tools with external support and blocking solutions.

Updates

OBSERVE: Responsible gaming standards, regulatory expectations, and the tools available on 96-odds.com evolve over time, particularly as jurisdictions such as the UK publish new guidance and as Curaçao updates its licensing framework.

EXPAND: This page is reviewed periodically to reflect current internal practices, relevant regulatory developments, and emerging best practice in harm prevention. Changes may include new or updated limits, additional self-exclusion options, or revised contact details for support services.

Notification methods: Material changes to responsible gaming tools or policies may be communicated via e-mail to your registered address, via in-account messages, and/or via banners or notices on the 96-odds.com website.
Checking for updates: You should revisit this page regularly and read any notifications sent to you, as they may affect how you use the site and what protections are available.
Priority of terms: In case of any conflict between this page and the general terms and conditions of 96-odds.com or applicable laws and regulations, the latter will prevail.

REFLECT: Staying informed about changes is a key part of responsible gambling. If you do not agree with updated policies, you should stop using the service, withdraw any available balance, and consider self-exclusion.

For non-urgent questions, feedback, or requests related to self-control, limits, or support, you may also use the following online form:

REFLECT: Messages relating to problem gambling, limits, and self-exclusion will be treated with priority and handled as sensitively as possible. However, e-mail and web form communication are not emergency channels. If you or someone else is at immediate risk of harm, contact local emergency services or crisis helplines before contacting the operator.
