Can I reopen my account after a Self-Exclusion?

Your account cannot be reactivated before the self-exclusion period ends. Once it expires, you'll need to actively submit a request to reactivate — it won't happen automatically. This is intentional, to make sure you have enough time to reflect.

How long does it take to increase a Deposit Limit?

Reducing your deposit limit takes effect immediately. However, if you want to increase it, there's a 7-day waiting period. This delay is intentional — to prevent decisions made in the heat of the moment.

Will my account balance be safe during a cooling-off period?

Yes, your account balance remains completely safe during a cooling-off period. Only placing new bets and making deposits is paused. Any previously won funds can still be withdrawn.

How does GB9 help if I develop a gaming addiction?

1What Is Responsible Gaming?

Responsible gaming means treating gaming as entertainment — not as a solution to life's problems or a way to earn extra income. At GB9, we believe every player knows their limits and can have fun while staying within them.

Responsible gaming doesn't mean playing less. It means playing mindfully — within a set budget, for a set amount of time, and free from stress.

GB9 doesn't treat responsible gaming as just a policy — it's a core part of our platform. All users have free access to tools that help them manage their gaming habits.

Please remember: Gaming is a game of wins and losses. Each round is independent — a previous loss does not increase your chances of winning the next one.

Core Principles of Responsible Gaming

Set a Budget: Only play with money you can afford to lose without it affecting your daily life.
Set a Time Limit: Set a time limit for how long you'll play each day or per session before you start.
Don't Play on Emotion: Don't play when you're angry, frustrated, or under stress.
Accept Your Losses: Don't chase losses by increasing your bets.
Take a Break: Take regular breaks during long sessions.

2Signs of Problem Gaming

Sometimes we don't realize ourselves when gaming has crossed the line from entertainment to a problem. Watch out for these warning signs:

Financial Warning Signs

Betting beyond your budget, playing with borrowed money, or dipping into bills and savings to fund gaming.

Time-Related Warning Signs

Playing longer than planned, skipping sleep or work to keep playing.

Emotional Signs

Feeling restless or irritable when unable to play, and lying about gaming.

Social Warning Signs

Withdrawing from family or friends, strained relationships, and losing focus at work.

If you notice even one of the signs above in yourself, take a moment to pause. Use GB9's responsible gaming tools or speak with our support team.

3Check Yourself

Self-Assessment Checklist

Did I spend more than my set budget on bets last week?

6Tips for Building Healthy Gaming Habits

Responsible gaming goes beyond just using tools. A few simple daily habits can keep your gaming experience healthier and more enjoyable:

Financial Habits

Set aside a gaming budget at the start of each month and stick to it.
Never bet with a credit card or borrowed money.
Withdraw your winnings right away — don't put everything straight back on bets.
Keep track of your gaming spending every month.

Emotional Habits

Play when you're in a good mood — not when you're feeling down or angry.
If you lose, take a break — don't immediately place a "revenge bet".
Don't make gaming your only hobby — keep other interests too.
Share your gaming experiences with family or friends — don't keep it hidden.

Time Management

Avoid playing right before bed — it can disrupt your sleep.
Don't game during time meant for work or family.
Take a 5–10 minute break every hour.
Take at least 1–2 days off from gaming each week.

7Minor Protection

GB9 strictly does not provide any services to anyone under 18. We take active measures to keep minors away from gaming:

Age Verification: Age verification is mandatory at registration and before withdrawals.
KYC Process: Age is verified through national ID checks.
Parental Controls: Parents can install parental control software on their child's device.
If You're Concerned, Report It: If you suspect a minor is using GB9, please report it to support@gb9.im.

A Note for Parents: If your children share a device, always log out and keep your password private. Use your GB9 account only on a personal device.
