What Responsible Gaming Means to Us

At Alpha 2018, Responsible Gaming isn't just a policy page — it's a core part of our platform's philosophy. We know that for many people, online gaming is a way to enjoy the thrill of a cricket match or simply make leisure time more enjoyable. But that experience only stays fun when you play consciously, within your limits, and for the right reasons.

Responsible Gaming means you decide how much time you spend, how much money you set aside, and when to stop. Alpha 2018 respects that autonomy and gives you all the tools to make those decisions. Playing with a mindset of chasing losses never leads anywhere good.

Millions of people play on our platform every day. Most of them stick to their own set budgets and time limits, keeping gaming a small, enjoyable part of their lives. But sometimes people cross that line — and having the courage to recognize it is itself a sign of responsibility.

Alpha 2018 is committed to making sure your gaming experience stays positive. That's why we've brought together all the information, tools, and resources you need on this page — to help you game safely and enjoyably.

Gaming is never a solution to financial problems. If you are relying on gaming to pay off debts or cover household expenses, take a break now and reach out to our support team.

How Alpha 2018 Keeps You Safe

We don't just have policies — we actively support you in keeping your gaming safe.

Personal Limit Settings

You can set your own daily, weekly, or monthly caps on deposits and bets. Once set, limits can't be raised easily — and that's exactly what makes this feature effective.

Session Time Alert

Alpha 2018 tracks how long you've been playing and sends you an alert when a set time has passed — giving you the chance to take a mindful break.

Self-Exclusion

You can suspend your account temporarily or permanently. During this period, the account cannot be reactivated by anyone — including yourself.

Real-Time Spending Tracker

Check your account dashboard at any time to see exactly how much you have spent today, this week, or this month. All information is displayed transparently.

Age Verification

Mandatory KYC verification at registration ensures that no minors can access the platform. This is part of Alpha 2018's strict compliance policy.

24/7 Support Team

Reach us anytime via live chat or email. Our dedicated team is always on hand to answer your questions and offer support on responsible gaming.

You're in Control

Alpha 2018 believes players should always be in control of their gaming experience. That's why we've built a range of tools you can use at any time — with no delays and no judgment.

Using these tools is not a sign of weakness — it shows how self-aware and responsible a player you are.

Set Your Limits
Go to Account Settings to set your daily, weekly, or monthly deposit and betting limits.
Take a Cooling-Off Period
Take a temporary break anywhere from 24 hours to 6 weeks. You will not be able to place bets during this period.
Self-Exclude
Request a long-term or permanent self-exclusion. This decision takes effect immediately.
Get Help
If you need help, reach out to our support team or a specialist service at any time.
01

Deposit Limit

Set a cap on how much you can deposit each day before you start. Once the limit is reached, the system will automatically block any further deposits.

02

Bet Limit

Set a cap on the maximum amount you can place on a single bet. Keep yourself protected from high-risk wagers.

03

Loss Limit

Set a loss limit so that once you reach a certain amount, you can no longer play. This is the most effective way to protect yourself from financial harm.

04

Session Time Limit

Decide in advance how long you want to play in a single session. When the time is up, you'll receive an alert or be logged out automatically.

05

Cooling-Off Period

Take a temporary break lasting anywhere from 1 day to 6 weeks. Step back, clear your head, and return refreshed.

06

Reality Check

Get periodic pop-up reminders showing how long you've been playing and how much you've won or lost.

Full List of Available Limits

Get a quick overview of all the limit types available on Alpha 2018 and how each one works.

Limit Type Duration Time to Take Effect Can it be changed?
Deposit Limit Daily / Weekly / Monthly Immediate (if lowering) / 7 days (if raising) Yes, but increasing requires a waiting period
Bet Limit Single Bet / Daily Immediate (if lowering) / 7 days (if raising) Yes, but increasing requires a waiting period
Loss Limit Daily / Weekly / Monthly Immediate (if lowering) / 7 days (if raising) Yes, but increasing requires a waiting period
Session Time Limit Per session Instant Yes, at any time

Lowering a limit takes effect immediately. Raising one requires a minimum 7-day waiting period — to make sure decisions aren't made on impulse.

When to Take a Step Back

If you notice any of the signs below, it may mean gaming is having a negative impact on your life. Take an honest look at yourself.

  • You keep playing in an attempt to win back your losses and find yourself unable to stop.
  • Using money meant for household expenses, bills, or debt repayments to fund your gaming.
  • Hiding your gaming activity from family or friends.
  • Feeling restless, irritable, or anxious when you're not playing — like something's missing without gaming.
  • Neglecting work, studies, or family responsibilities to spend more time gaming.
  • You can see yourself crossing the line but can't seem to stop.
  • Being dishonest about your gaming habits or hiding how much you've spent.
  • Even after a big win, you feel the urge to keep playing and can't bring yourself to stop.

The Golden Rules of Responsible Gaming

Set Your Budget in Advance
Decide in advance how much you're comfortable spending per session — whether in your head or written down. Stick to that amount, no more.
Play for Fun
Don't treat gaming as a source of income. It's entertainment — just like spending money on a movie or a meal out.
Take regular breaks
Avoid long, uninterrupted sessions. Take at least a 10–15 minute break every hour — get up, drink some water, go for a short walk.
Don't Play When You're Going Through a Rough Patch
Gaming while you're upset, angry, stressed, or under the influence of alcohol is risky. It's hard to make sound decisions in that state.

Responsible Gaming FAQ

What Alpha 2018 users want to know about Responsible Gaming.

After a temporary self-exclusion period ends, you can resume playing. However, permanent self-exclusion is final and cannot be reversed. Once a cooling-off period expires, your account is reactivated automatically.

Log in to your account and go to "Account Settings" or the "Responsible Gaming" section. From there, select the deposit limit option and set your daily, weekly, or monthly limit, then save. Reductions take effect immediately.

No, self-exclusion can only be requested by the account holder. However, if a family member is concerned, they are welcome to contact our support team — we will help guide them through the right steps.

Contact the Alpha 2018 support team directly — they will provide the help and guidance you need. You can also activate self-exclusion from your account to take a break, and consider speaking with a mental health professional.

Absolutely not. Alpha 2018 strictly enforces an 18+ policy. Age and identity verification are mandatory at registration. If an underage account is detected, it will be closed immediately and the balance refunded.

Once Reality Check is enabled, a pop-up will appear at set intervals — such as every 30 minutes or 1 hour — showing how long you've played and your wins or losses. It helps you stay aware and in control.
