What Is Responsible Gaming?

Responsible gaming means enjoying wagering as entertainment only — within your financial means, without letting it interfere with your daily life, personal relationships, or mental well-being. This is not just a slogan; it is cari188's genuine commitment to every member who uses our platform.

Many people play for fun, to enjoy strategic challenges, or simply to fill leisure time. That is normal and positive when done in a controlled way. Problems only arise when someone starts playing beyond their means, chasing losses, or feeling unable to stop even when they want to.

Cari188 understands that happy, healthy players are the ones who stay with us for the long run. That's why we invest in a comprehensive responsible gaming program, provide easily accessible self-control tools, and ensure support is available whenever you need it.

Core Principles: Set your limits before you play, not during. Decide on the time and money you can afford to lose without affecting your daily needs — and stick to them.
Section 2

cari188 Self-Control Tools

Cari188 provides a suite of self-control tools that you can activate directly from your account settings. These tools are designed to help you maintain full control over your gaming experience:

Deposit Limit Set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits. Limit decreases take effect immediately; increases require a 24–72 hour waiting period.
Play Time Limit Limit the number of hours you can spend in a gaming session each day or week. The system will alert you when you are approaching your limit.
Loss Limit Set the maximum loss amount you can tolerate within a given period. Your account will be temporarily blocked once the limit is reached.
Cooling-Off Period Take a break from the platform for 24 hours, 7 days or 30 days. You will not be able to log in during the set break period.
Self-Exclusion Option to fully exclude yourself from the platform for 6 months, 1 year, or permanently for cases requiring more serious support.
Promotional Notification Limit Opt out of bonus and promotional notifications so you are not prompted to play more than planned.
All these self-control tools can be accessed directly from the Account Settings → Responsible Gaming or by contacting our support team via Live Chat. Activation is free and instant.

Warning Signs to Watch Out For

Most people do not notice when their gaming habits start shifting from entertainment to something more concerning. Recognise these early signs so you can act before the situation becomes more serious:

Low
Play for fun
Moderate
Please note
High
Get help
Critical
Immediate action

Here are specific signs you should take seriously:

  • Using money meant for essential needs such as rent, food or bills to play.
  • Unable to stop playing even when you've intended to do so.
  • Hiding gaming activity from a partner, family, or friends.
  • Chasing losses — continuing to play in hopes of recovering money already lost.
  • Feeling restless, irritable, or uneasy when unable to play.
  • Borrowing money or selling assets to keep playing.
  • Work performance, studies, or personal relationships beginning to suffer as a result of gaming activity.
  • Playing as a way to escape problems or emotional stress.
If you recognise two or more of the warning signs above in yourself, we strongly encourage you to use our self-control tools or contact our support team immediately. Seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness.
Section 4

Self-Assessment — Are You Playing Responsibly?

Take two minutes to honestly assess your own gaming habits. Review the following items truthfully:

I only play with surplus money I have set aside in advance — not with money needed for daily expenses.

I can stop playing at any time without feeling uncomfortable or anxious.

I have never lied to anyone about how much time or money I have spent on gaming.

My gaming activity has never interfered with my work responsibilities, family, or daily obligations.

I accept losses as part of the entertainment and do not try to chase back money I have lost.

I have other hobbies and activities I enjoy besides playing online.

If you cannot comfortably check off all of the above, it is a good signal to speak with our support team or activate the self-control tools. No judgment — we are here to help, not to criticise.
Section 5

Child & Youth Protection

Cari188 strictly prohibits anyone under the age of 18 from registering or using our platform. This is not merely a legal requirement — it is a moral responsibility we take seriously.

Child protection measures we have put in place:

  • Mandatory age verification at registration — all date of birth information is checked and confirmed.
  • A KYC process requiring valid identification documents to verify adult status before any financial transactions are permitted.
  • A detection system for cases where there is suspicion that an account is being used by a minor.
  • Immediate closure of any account confirmed to belong to a minor, along with a full refund of all deposited funds.

Advice for parents and guardians: If you share a device with children, please ensure your cari188 account is always logged out after use. You can enable an additional password or auto-logout through your account security settings for an extra layer of protection.

Section 6

Self-Exclusion Process

Self-exclusion is an option available to members who feel they need a complete break or full termination of membership due to gaming habit concerns. It is one of the most powerful tools we offer.

Available self-exclusion options:

  • Temporary Break (24 hours – 30 days): Account temporarily suspended. You may resume access once the period expires.
  • Medium-Term Exclusion (6 months – 1 year): Platform access is fully blocked. Requests to reopen require a 30-day assessment period.
  • Permanent Exclusion: Account permanently closed. No reinstatement is permitted. Valid funds will be returned after the compliance review process.

To start the self-exclusion process, contact our support team via Live Chat and state your preference. The process will be carried out within 24 hours.

During your self-exclusion period, you will not receive any marketing or promotional communications from cari188. We will also not contact you to encourage you to return to playing.
Section 7

Smart Play Tips at cari188

Here are practical guidelines to help you maintain healthy and enjoyable gaming habits over the long term:

  • Set a budget before you play. Decide the amount you are comfortable spending before you start. Once that budget is gone, stop — no exceptions.
  • Set a time limit. Set a timer before you play and respect it. Time passes quickly during play and it's easy to lose track.
  • Avoid playing when you are in an unstable emotional state. Chasing excitement, escaping stress, or playing when angry or upset are high-risk situations.
  • Treat losses as the cost of entertainment. Think of the money you spend like a movie ticket or a dinner out — it is the price of entertainment, not an investment to be recovered.
  • Take regular breaks. Step away from the screen, stretch, and clear your mind. Avoid playing for hours on end.
  • Never borrow money to play. Borrowed money adds extra pressure that can make the situation worse very quickly.
  • Use self-control tools proactively. Do not wait until a problem arises. Activate deposit limits and time limits as a preventive measure from the start.

FAQ – Responsible Gaming

Log in to your account and go to the Account Settings → Responsible Gaming → Deposit Limit. Select a period (daily, weekly or monthly) and enter your desired limit amount. Decreases take effect immediately, while increases require a 24–72 hour review period. You can also contact our Live Chat support team for immediate assistance.

A cooling-off period is a temporary suspension (between 24 hours and 30 days) where your account is briefly blocked and will reactivate automatically once the period ends. Self-exclusion is a more serious step where the account is blocked for a longer duration (6 months, 1 year, or permanently) and requires a review process before any reinstatement is considered.

It depends on the type of exclusion selected. For a 6-month or 1-year exclusion, you may apply to reopen your account after the period ends, but it is subject to a mandatory 30-day assessment period. For permanent exclusion, the account cannot be reopened under any circumstances. This is to protect you in the long term.

Any valid balance in your account will be frozen during the exclusion period and cannot be used for play. For permanent exclusion, you may request a withdrawal of your valid balance after the compliance review process, which typically takes 5–10 business days. Any bonus balance that has not met the rollover requirements will be forfeited.

Please contact us immediately via 24/7 Live Chat or email [email protected] with the relevant account details. Our compliance team will investigate promptly and take appropriate action, including account closure and fund refund where applicable. Your privacy in making this report is fully protected.
