Responsible Gaming and Gambling Addiction Help - Mostbet App 2026 | Official APK for Android & iOS, Free Download

Gambling: Entertainment or Addiction?

Mostbet treats gambling as a form of fun and downtime, not as a source of income or a way to fix financial troubles. For most of our users, betting and casino play are an enjoyable hobby that leaves their lives unaffected.

Even so, we recognize that for some people gambling can become a problem, leading to:

❌ Financial strain and debt
❌ Losing control over time and money
❌ Friction in relationships with loved ones
❌ Lower productivity at work and job loss
❌ Depression, anxiety, stress
❌ Trying to hide the size of the problem from others

Gambling Disorder

— is a recognized mental health condition (listed in WHO ICD-11), marked by an uncontrollable urge to gamble in spite of the harm it brings. WHO figures show that between 0.12% and 5.8% of adults experience some form of gambling addiction.

Our commitment to safe gaming

As a licensed operator (Curaçao eGaming №8048/JAZ2016-065), Mostbet is bound to meet the international responsible-gaming standards set by:

✅ IAGR (International Association of Gaming Regulators)
✅ RGA (Responsible Gaming Association)
✅ GamCare (UK Responsible Gaming Standards)
✅ NCPG (National Council on Problem Gambling, USA)

We take an all-around approach to keeping our users safe:

🛡️ Prevention — educational material about the risks
🛡️ Control — self-control tools
🛡️ Detection — algorithms that flag problematic behavior
🛡️ Help — partnership with support organizations
🛡️ Minor protection — strict age verification

Signs of problematic gaming: Addiction test

Answer the questions below honestly. If you said "YES" to 4 or more, professional help is advisable.

Gambling addiction questionnaire (DSM-5 Gambling Disorder criteria):

⚠️ Do you need to wager ever-larger amounts to feel the same thrill?
⚠️ Do you turn irritable or restless when you try to cut back or stop gambling?
⚠️ Have you made repeated, unsuccessful efforts to control, cut back, or quit gambling?
⚠️ Do you often find yourself preoccupied with gambling (planning the next session, thinking up ways to get money)?
⚠️ Do you often gamble when you feel desperate, guilty, anxious, or depressed?
⚠️ After losing money, do you often come back the next day to "chase losses"?
⚠️ Do you lie to family members or therapists to hide how deep your gambling goes?
⚠️ Have you put at risk or lost important relationships, jobs, or educational or career chances because of gambling?
⚠️ Do you depend on others for money to get out of desperate situations caused by gambling?

Result interpretation:

0-1 "YES": Low risk — gaming is under control
2-3 "YES": Moderate risk — setting limits is advisable
4-5 "YES": High risk — a consultation with a specialist is advisable
6+ "YES": Critical risk — get help right away (contacts below)

Responsible gaming principles

For gambling to stay entertainment, stick to these rules:

🎯 Golden rules of safe gaming:

✅ Play purely for fun — gambling shouldn't be a source of income or a fix for money problems
✅ Set a budget and hold to it — play only with money you can afford to lose without touching essentials (housing, food, medical care)
✅ Cap your gaming time — set timers and take regular breaks (10-15 minutes every hour)
✅ Never play to "chase losses" — trying to win it back almost always leads to even bigger losses
✅ Don't play under the influence of alcohol or drugs — it clouds your judgment
✅ Don't play in a poor emotional state — stress, depression, and anger weaken self-control
✅ Don't borrow to play — loans, credit, and microloans for betting are warning signs of addiction
✅ Open up to loved ones — don't conceal the scale of your gaming from family
✅ Keep up other interests — don't let gambling crowd out hobbies, sport, or time with friends
✅ Take breaks — schedule regular 1-2 week "gaming vacations"

Self-control tools in Mostbet

We provide free tools to manage your gaming activity right inside your personal account:

1️⃣ Deposit limits

Decide the most you can deposit over a given period:

Daily limit — e.g., no more than $50 a day
Weekly limit — e.g., no more than $250 a week
Monthly limit — e.g., no more than $750 a month

How to set it: Personal account → Settings → Responsible gaming → Deposit limits

The limit takes effect immediately
Removing or raising a limit is only possible after 24-72 hours (a cooling-off period)
Lowering a limit — immediately

2️⃣ Betting limits

Cap the maximum stake over a given period:

Maximum stake on a single bet
Maximum stake total daily/weekly/monthly

Applies to:

Sports betting (single, express, system)
Slots and casino (spin size)
Live betting

3️⃣ Loss limits

Set the highest amount you're prepared to lose in a period:

Once you reach the chosen amount, access to gaming is blocked until the period ends

E.g.: a loss limit of $100/week — after losing that, gaming stays unavailable until the new week starts

Recommendation: The single most effective tool for keeping losses in check.

4️⃣ Session time limits

Cap how long your gaming sessions run:

Set a maximum time (e.g., 2 hours per day)
Once the time is up, you'll get a notification and every active session ends automatically
To pick up gaming again, you'll need to wait until the next day

Additional:

Reminders every 30/60 minutes about session length
A running total of time spent on the platform each week/month

5️⃣ Cooling-off period

A short, temporary account pause to take a "break":

24 hours — during an impulsive urge to play
72 hours (3 days) — after big losses
7 days — when you sense you're losing control

During the cooling-off period:

❌ No account access
❌ No deposits possible
❌ No betting possible
✅ Available funds can be withdrawn

How to turn it on: Personal account → Responsible gaming → Cooling-off period → Choose a duration

6️⃣ Self-exclusion

A long-term account block running from 6 months up to permanent:

Available periods:

6 months
1 year
3 years
5 years
Forever (permanent ban)

Self-exclusion conditions:

❌ A complete ban on account access
❌ Unable to open a new account using the same details
❌ Marketing material is blocked (email, SMS, push)
✅ Can request a withdrawal of remaining funds (processed within 48 hours)

How to activate:

Email: selfexclusion@mostbetapk.asia
State: full name, user ID, reason, and the period you want
Confirm by SMS or email
Get confirmation of the block (within 24 hours)

Important:

Self-exclusion can't be reversed until the chosen period runs out
Trying to dodge the block (new accounts, VPN) leads to seizure of funds
Once the period ends, the account is NOT reopened automatically — an explicit restoration request is required

7️⃣ Gaming activity history check

Full visibility into your gaming activity:

📊 Available statistics:

Total deposits over a period (day/week/month/year)
Total staked
Total winnings
Net losses/wins (balance)
Time spent on the platform
Number of gaming sessions
Average stake size

Where to find it: Personal account → History → Gaming statistics

Data export: You can download a complete report in CSV format for your own analysis or to review with a specialist.

Automatic detection of problematic behavior

Mostbet uses machine-learning algorithms to spot signs of gambling addiction:

🔍 What is tracked:

⚠️ A sharp jump in stakes — average stake size climbing by 200%+ over a short window
⚠️ "Chasing losses" — depositing immediately after big losses
⚠️ Excessive playing time — more than 4-6 hours of nonstop gaming
⚠️ Late-night sessions — playing from 00:00 to 06:00 (a sign of lost control)
⚠️ Repeated deposits — 5+ deposits in a single day
⚠️ Ignoring limits — constant requests to raise the caps already in place
⚠️ Aggressive behavior — complaints and insults in the support chat

📧 Actions upon detection:

A warning notice — email/SMS reminding you of responsible-gaming principles
A nudge to set limits — an offer to switch on control tools
A mandatory cooling-off period — a forced break of 24-72 hours when critical signs appear
Bonus blocking — pulling aggressive marketing offers
Contact with a specialist — a free consultation with partner organizations offered on request
