Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming

Poko play believes betting should be a healthy form of entertainment. Here's what we do to support that:

Age Verification

Only users aged 18 or above can register on poko play. Age is verified at sign-up, and additional KYC checks are carried out if there is any doubt.

Personal Limit Setting

Set your own deposit, bet, and loss limits. Managing your budget is entirely in your hands — we just provide the tools.

Breaks & Self-Exclusion

If you need a short break, temporarily suspend your account. If it feels like a longer-term issue, the self-exclusion option is also available.

Session Time Limit

Track how long you've been playing. You'll receive reminders during extended sessions to help you stay aware of your time.

History Review

You can review your betting history at any time. A clear picture of your wins and losses helps you make better decisions.

Support Services

Our support team is always here for any concerns you have about betting. Get help in complete confidence.

What Responsible Gaming Means

Responsible gambling is more than just setting limits. It's a mindset — one where you treat betting as entertainment, not a source of income. At poko play, we want you to enjoy every bet, without ever letting it reach a point where gambling has a negative impact on your life.

Betting is a risky activity. Every bet carries the chance of winning or losing, and the house always has an edge in the long run. Only bet what you're comfortable losing — that's the first rule of responsible play.

Poko play commits to never pressuring you to bet more or running promotions designed to encourage addiction. Our goal is a healthy long-term relationship — not just the excitement of a single session.

Core Principles of Responsible Gambling

  • Always treat betting as entertainment, not a source of income.
  • Set a budget in advance and stick to it.
  • Don't chase your losses by placing more bets.
  • Don't bet while drinking or under emotional stress.
  • Never use betting as a way to escape from problems.
  • Don't put betting before spending time with family and friends.
Remember: There is no guaranteed way to win at betting. Every outcome is independent — previous wins or losses have no bearing on what happens next.

Signs of Problem Betting

Betting addiction doesn't happen overnight. A healthy habit can gradually turn into a problem through small, subtle changes. Watch out for the following signs in yourself or someone close to you:

Financial Signs
  • Betting Beyond Your Means
  • Betting with Borrowed Money
  • Betting instead of paying bills or debts
  • Chasing losses by placing repeated bets
  • Hiding betting expenses
Behavioural Signs
  • Unable to Stop Betting
  • Neglecting Family or Work
  • Feeling restless or irritable when not betting
  • Skipping sleep or meals to keep betting
  • Lying about betting
Warning: If you notice even one of the signs above, take a break right now and if needed, Contact our support team Get in touch.

Check Yourself

Ask yourself the questions below. If you answer "yes" to more than two, consider seeking support:

1 Have you ever bet more than your planned budget?
2 Have you placed more bets trying to win back money you've lost?
3 Have you tried to stop betting but couldn't?
4 Has betting caused problems with your family or friends?
5 Have you ever borrowed money or dipped into your savings to place a bet?
6 Do you feel anxious or restless when you're not betting?
7 Have you prioritised betting over work or studies?
8 Have you hidden your betting amounts or outcomes from family?
Keep in mind: These questions are not a professional diagnosis, but they can help you reflect on your own situation. If something feels off, don't be ashamed — reach out and get help.

poko play's Responsible Gaming Tools

Poko play puts a range of helpful tools at your fingertips so you can stay fully in control of your betting. These tools are available anytime from your account settings.

Deposit Limit

Set your own daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limit. Once set, it takes effect immediately. Increasing a limit requires a 24-hour waiting period, but reductions apply instantly.

Betting Limit

Set a cap on the total amount you can bet within a given period. This helps you avoid placing large bets on impulse.

Loss Limit

Set a loss limit if you want to stop betting after losing a certain amount. Once you hit the limit, the system will automatically pause your activity.

Session Reminder

After you've been playing for a set amount of time, you'll get a reminder letting you know how long your session has been. It helps you stay mindful of the time you spend.

Account Break (Cool-off)

You can pause your account for anywhere from 1 day to 6 weeks. During this break, logging in and making deposits will not be possible.

Self-Exclusion

If you feel it's a long-term issue, self-exclude for 6 months to 5 years. During this time, your account will be completely inactive and all promotional messages will be paused.

Important: Attempting to open a new account while a self-exclusion is active is a violation of our terms. If discovered, that account will be closed immediately.
