Need help right now? Call Jogadores Anônimos Brasil for free: 0800 770 4009 — available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. 188bet's support team is also available via live chat at any time.
Six resources available free of charge to all registered users.
Set a daily, weekly, or monthly deposit cap directly from your account dashboard on 188bet. Once the limit is reached, new deposits via Pix, boleto, or card are automatically blocked until the next period begins. A limit can be reduced immediately, but any increase only takes effect after 7 days, to prevent impulsive decisions.
Need to take a break? The 188bet lets you activate a temporary self-exclusion of 1 week, 1 month, 3 months, or 6 months with a single click — no prior approval needed. During the exclusion period, account access is blocked, deposits are prevented, and marketing communications are suspended. Once the period ends, your account is automatically reactivated.
If you feel that gambling has stopped being entertainment and has become a problem in your life, 188bet offers the option of permanently closing your account. Permanent exclusion is irreversible — the account cannot be reactivated afterward. Any available balance will be returned via Pix following identity verification. Contact us via the support chat to submit your request.
In your account dashboard on 188bet, you have access to a detailed history of all your sports bets (Brasileirão, Libertadores, volleyball, UFC), all slots and live casino rounds, and all financial transactions — deposits and withdrawals via Pix, boleto, and card — including dates, amounts, and outcomes. Full transparency so you can track your own patterns.
Set alerts that appear on screen after a session time defined by you — 30 minutes, 1 hour, or 2 hours, for example. The reminder shows how long you have been on the platform and the total amount wagered in the session. It is a simple way to stay aware of the time and money involved, especially during long slots sessions or live football betting.
The support team at 188bet is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, in Brazilian Portuguese, to help with any responsible gambling questions — whether you need to activate a control tool, understand deposit limits, or learn more about external support resources. Live chat responds in under 3 minutes on average.
Betting should be a form of entertainment, never a source of problems. Read this complete guide and use the available tools to stay in control.
Our position: 188bet believes responsible gambling is good for everyone — for the user, for the platform, and for the long-term relationship of trust we want to build with Brazilian bettors.
Responsible gambling means betting consciously, within your own financial and emotional limits, keeping bets as what they should be: entertainment. This applies to every type of bet on the platform 188bet — whether it's a bet on Flamengo in the Brasileirão, a Superliga volleyball match, a UFC card featuring Brazilian fighters, a round of slots, or the crash game Aviator.
Responsible gambling starts with a simple premise: only bet money you can afford to lose without it affecting your budget, your bills, or your quality of life. Betting is not an investment — it's entertainment with financial risk built in. Understanding this before making a deposit via Pix or placing your first bet is the first step toward a healthy relationship with the platform.
Responsible gaming also means understanding the odds. Sports Betting and casino games are designed with a statistical margin that, over the long run, favors the platform. No betting system, mathematical strategy, or "guaranteed tip" changes that reality. Anyone who enters 188bet with the expectation of consistent profit is confusing entertainment with investment — and that is a warning sign worth paying attention to.
A 188bet does not view responsible gaming as a legal box to check — it is a core part of the platform's business model. A user who maintains a healthy relationship with betting is one who will stay on the platform for years, not weeks. That long-term outlook is what guides every control tool made available by 188bet.
In practice, this commitment translates into:
A 188bet also commits to not sending any marketing communications to users who have activated any self-exclusion tool — whether temporary or permanent. A user who has requested a break should not receive bonus emails or promotional notifications during that period.
Recognizing the signs that gambling may be shifting from entertainment to a problem is essential — and often difficult, because the process is gradual. The 188bet lists the key warning signs to watch for:
If you identified with two or more of these signs, it's important to seek help. That's not weakness — it's wisdom. Reach out to 188bet support via chat or call free of charge at 0800 770 4009.
Access your account dashboard on 188bet, go to "Settings" and select "Responsible Gaming Limits". Set the maximum amount you want to deposit per day, week, or month. The system automatically recalculates limits based on the period. Keep in mind: reducing a limit takes effect immediately, but increasing a limit requires a 7-day waiting period — this is specifically designed to prevent decisions made in the heat of the moment.
In the same "Responsible Gambling Limits" section, select "Self-Exclusion" and choose the desired period (1 week, 1 month, 3 months, or 6 months). Confirm the request and the exclusion takes effect immediately. During the exclusion period, you will not be able to log in, make deposits, or access games. All marketing communications are automatically suspended.
Permanent exclusion must be requested via the support chat or by emailing suporte@188bet-play.net. The team at 188bet will process the request and permanently close the account. Any available balance will be returned via Pix after a final identity verification. Permanent exclusion cannot be undone — you will not be able to create a new account on the platform using the same CPF.
In your account dashboard, go to "History" to view all your sports bets, slots rounds, live casino sessions, and financial transactions. You can filter by period, game type, and amount. Reviewing your history regularly is a healthy habit for spotting patterns before they become a problem.
If you have trouble activating any responsible gaming tool, our support chat is available 24/7 to help. Just let the agent know you want to set up responsible gambling limits — they'll walk you through the process.
The platform 188bet is exclusively for people aged 18 and over. Age verification is mandatory before the first withdrawal, and the platform has a zero-tolerance policy for underage registrations — accounts identified as belonging to minors are closed immediately, with deposited funds returned to the legal guardian.
If you are a parent or legal guardian and are concerned about a minor accessing 188bet or other betting platforms on a family member's phone or computer, there are practical steps you can take:
If you or someone close to you is struggling with problem gambling, free specialized support is available in Brazil:
Seeking help is always the right step. Compulsive gambling is recognized by the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-11) as an impulse control disorder — it is not a lack of willpower, but a condition that responds well to specialized treatment. The sooner help is sought, the more effective it tends to be.
You don't have to stop betting to gamble responsibly — you just need to bet mindfully. These practices help keep betting where it belongs: as entertainment.
Answer the questions below honestly. If you answer "Yes" to two or more of them, it's worth talking to someone you trust or reaching out to the support team at 188bet.
