Set Your Own Limits
You can set your own limits on how much you deposit or bet each day or week. 81bd will honour those limits.
Cooling-Off Period
If you need a short break, activate a 7-day or 30-day cooling-off period. During this time, logging in or placing bets will not be possible.
Self-Exclusion
If you need a longer break, activate Self-Exclusion. During this period, all promotional emails from 81bd will also be paused.
Loss Limit Feature
If losses exceed a pre-set amount, the account will automatically suspend betting — provided the limit has been configured in advance.
18+ Age Verification Mandatory
81bd enforces strict age verification. No minor can open an account — this is our zero-tolerance policy.
Support Is Always There for You
If you have any concerns about your gaming, 81bd's support team is ready to help — without judgment and with genuine care.
What Responsible Gaming Really Means
Responsible gaming doesn't mean avoiding gaming or betting altogether — it means playing knowingly, in control, and with enjoyment. For many people, betting on a cricket match or playing slots is a form of entertainment, much like going to the cinema or dining out.
Problems arise when entertainment spirals out of control — when you feel driven to chase losses with bigger bets, when household money goes toward gaming, when you have to hide it from family. 81bd wants every member to recognize that line for themselves.
81bd believes responsible gaming isn't the member's responsibility alone — the platform has a major role to play too. That's why we don't just tick boxes to meet compliance requirements; we genuinely try to stand by our members.
Core Principles of Healthy Gaming: Play within your budget, step back when you lose, and pocket your winnings when you win.
Recognising the Warning Signs
Gaming addiction doesn't happen overnight — it builds gradually. If you notice any of the signs below in yourself or someone you know, it's time to pay attention.
- Spending more on gaming than your budget allows
- Placing bigger bets to try to recover losses
- Borrowing money or dipping into savings to fund gaming
- Playing with money set aside for bills or household expenses
- Feeling restless or irritable when not gaming
- Hiding your gaming from family
- Trying to quit gaming but unable to stop
- Unable to focus on anything else
- Spending less time with friends or family
- Difficulty focusing on work or studies
- Being dishonest with others about your gaming
- Skipping sleep or meals to keep playing
- Staying up late to game has become a regular habit
- Unable to stop even after a winning bet
If three or more of the above signs apply to you, take a step back. That's not weakness — that's self-awareness. The 81bd support team is ready to help, no questions asked.
Check Yourself
Answer the questions below honestly. This is just for you — no one else will see it.
Quick Self-Assessment
Great sign! You're currently playing in a controlled way. Keep respecting your limits and check in with yourself from time to time.
There are some warning signs to watch out for. Take a break and use 81bd's protection tools, or speak with our support team.
81bd Protection Tools
81bd provides several tools that members can use entirely on their own. Using them isn't a sign of weakness — it's what a smart player does.
Deposit Limit
Set a maximum deposit limit on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis. Once the limit is reached, the system will automatically block further deposits. Lowering the limit takes effect immediately — increasing it requires a 24-hour waiting period.
Loss Limit
Decide the maximum amount you are comfortable losing within a set period. Once that limit is hit, betting will be suspended for the session. Many experienced players use this tool regularly.
Session Limit
Set a session time limit to control how long you play in one sitting. After the set time, 81bd will send you a notification and give you the option to end your session.
Cooling-Off Period
Take a break from your account for 7, 14, or 30 days. During this time, you won't be able to log in or place bets. Promotional notifications will also be turned off.
Self-Exclusion
If you need an extended break — anywhere from 6 months to 5 years — activate self-exclusion. The period can be extended but cannot be shortened or cancelled once it begins.
Bonus Opt-Out
If promotional offers or bonus notifications feel tempting in a way that concerns you, turn them off. You can do this anytime from your account settings.
How to Activate the Tools
81bd's protection tools are easy to activate. There are two ways to do it.
If you have trouble activating any tools, reach out to 81bd's live chat support — they will assist you and can set things up on your behalf if needed.
Minor Protection
Anyone under 18 is strictly prohibited from opening an account at 81bd. Date of birth is verified at registration, and if there is any doubt, a national ID card or birth certificate will be requested.
But alongside the platform, families also have a role to play. If there are teenagers at home, it's worth taking a few precautions.
- 1Keep a strong password on your 81bd account and never share it with minors.
- 2Never leave your device unattended while logged in, whether on mobile or desktop.
- 3Use parental control software — these tools can block specific sites.
- 4Any account found to belong to a minor will be closed immediately, and the associated balance will be refunded.
If you suspect a minor you know is using 81bd, please contact us directly support@81bd.best— let us know and we will take swift action.
Tips for Healthy Gaming
Responsible gaming isn't about following a strict rulebook — it's about building a few simple habits. Experienced players do these things naturally.
- Before you play, decide how much time and money you're willing to spend — and stick to it.
- Stop when you're losing — chasing losses with bigger bets almost always leads to even greater damage.
- When you win, withdraw a portion and set it aside — putting everything back in is a gambler's habit, not a winner's.
- Never place bets when you're angry, upset, or stressed — your emotional state directly affects the decisions you make.
- Avoid gaming while under the influence of alcohol or any other substance.
- Don't treat gaming as a source of income — in the long run, the house edge always wins.
- Take at least one full day off from gaming each week — knowing when to step away is a mark of a good player.
- Let someone know about your gaming — being open with a trusted person helps you stay in control.
