Time, budget and 18+ safety

Responsible Gaming

Gaming can be entertainment, but it is not income, debt repayment or a solution to financial problems. Set a time limit and entertainment budget before a session, and do not expand either limit while playing.

Set your limits before you start

  • Set a daily or weekly entertainment budget.
  • Do not use borrowed money or funds needed for essential expenses.
  • Set a session duration and take breaks.
  • Do not increase spending or time to recover a loss.
  • Do not start a session when tired, angry or under pressure.

Writing limits down before starting makes the decision explicit. Creating a new budget during play defeats the original limit.

When to stop

Pause if gaming affects sleep, work, study, relationships or essential spending. Hiding activity, borrowing, breaking limits or feeling driven to recover a previous loss can signal reduced control. Even one of these signs is a reason to stop and reassess before another session.

The 18+ limit

This site’s content is intended only for adults aged 18 or over. Do not help a minor create an account, share a device for access or use payment information. Protect passwords and payment details on family devices.

Shared devices

Keep Remember Me off, do not save passwords, log out when finished, and never share an OTP or recovery code. Before another person uses the device, check for open sessions, browser history and saved form details.

Seeking support

If keeping limits becomes difficult, stop new sessions and speak with someone you trust or an appropriate professional service. bd89.uno does not provide medical, financial or account advice and cannot close or restrict a gaming account. Seek qualified local support for urgent financial or emotional distress.
