How do I set responsible gaming limits?

After logging in, go to Account Settings and open the "Responsible Gaming" menu. From there you can set daily, weekly, and monthly deposit limits, loss limits, and session time limits. Lowering a limit takes effect immediately; increasing one requires a 24-hour waiting period.

Can I open a new account during self-exclusion?

No. If you attempt to create a new account with the same details while a self-exclusion is active, the system will automatically detect and block it. This is in place for your own protection.

Where can I get help if I have a gaming addiction?

Start by contacting q33 via Live Chat or at support@q33.bar. We can refer you to professional support. International organisations such as Gamblers Anonymous also offer online assistance.

Can my child use q33?

No, it is strictly prohibited. q33 is for users aged 18 and above only. Age verification is mandatory at registration. If you suspect your child is using the platform, contact support@q33.bar immediately.

What's the difference between a Cooling-Off Period and Self-Exclusion?

A Cooling-Off Period is typically a short-term break (1–30 days) during which you simply step away from gaming. Self-Exclusion is a longer-term, stronger measure — it keeps your account inactive for 6 months or permanently, and no marketing messages are sent during this time.

Is my responsible gaming information kept private?

Yes, completely. Any limits you set, self-exclusion requests you make, or support you seek are kept strictly confidential. Under our Privacy Policy, this information is never shared with any third party.

q33 | Responsible Gaming Guide — Play Safe and Stay in Control

1. What is responsible gaming?

Responsible gaming means enjoying gaming as a leisure activity — one where you stay in full control of your time, money, and emotions. On q33, it means making conscious decisions about when you play, how much you wager, and when to take a break.

Many people assume gaming is inherently risky, but with the right mindset and tools, it can be an enjoyable and controlled form of entertainment. q33 always encourages its players to game responsibly and provides all the tools needed to keep every session safe and fun.

Remember — the first rule of responsible gaming is accepting that there is no guaranteed way to win. Casino games, slots, and betting are all based on chance. Never wager more than you can afford to lose.

The q33 philosophy: We want every player to come for the fun and leave with a smile. Taking losses in stride, just as you enjoy the wins, is part of responsible gaming.

2. Core Principles of Responsible Gaming

For responsible gaming at q33, we recommend following a few core principles. Sticking to these helps keep your gaming experience positive and reduces the risk of any harm.

Set a budget: Set a fixed budget before each session and stick to it. Avoid placing extra bets to chase money you've already lost.
Set a time limit: Decide in advance how much time you'll spend gaming each day or week — and stop when that time is up.
Play for entertainment only: Play for fun, not for profit. A win is great, but a loss is no reason to feel down.
Don't play under stress: Avoid gaming when you're feeling angry, depressed, anxious, or under the influence of any substance.
Take regular breaks: Focus fades during long sessions, which increases the risk of making poor decisions.
Spend time with family and friends: Don't let gaming replace your social life.
Keep other sources of income: Never treat gaming as your primary source of income.

Tip: Before you start a session, ask yourself — am I in the right headspace? Is my budget in order? Only play if the answer to both is yes.

3. Limit-Setting Features on q33

Q33 offers a range of effective limit-setting tools for responsible gaming. Use these features to take control of your own gaming habits.

Limit Type	Description	Effective date
Daily deposit limit	Set a daily maximum on how much you deposit	Instant
Weekly Deposit Limit	Control the amount you deposit each week	Instant
Monthly Deposit Limit	Upper limit on total monthly deposits	Instant

Keep in mind: Lowering a limit takes effect immediately, but increasing one requires a 24-hour waiting period. This is intentional — so you have time to think it through before making the change.
