What is responsible gaming?
Responsible gaming means enjoying gaming or betting as a form of entertainment — where you decide how much time and money you spend. VS98 believes every player should have full control over their own experience.
Gaming becomes a problem when it starts to negatively affect your daily life, family, work, or finances. This is not a sign of weakness – it can happen to anyone. What matters is recognizing it early and taking the right steps.
VS98's responsible gaming policy is built on three core principles: Awareness (knowing your own habits), Controls (set limits using the protection tools) and Help (getting the right help when you need it).
Keep in mind: Gaming is for entertainment only. Chasing losses is never the right move.
VS98 Protection Tools
VS98 provides multiple effective tools to help you manage your gaming habits. All tools are completely free and accessible at any time from your account settings.
Deposit Limit
Set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits. Lowering your limit takes effect immediately; increasing it requires a 7-day waiting period.
Session Time Limit
Set a maximum session duration before you start playing. Once the time is up, your account will be logged out automatically.
Loss Limit
Once you exceed a set loss amount, gaming will automatically stop for the day. It's the most effective way to keep financial losses in check.
Cool-Off Period
Take a break from gaming for anywhere between 1 day and 6 weeks. Deposits are disabled for the duration of your break.
Self-Exclusion
Suspend your account for anywhere from 6 months to permanently. While self-excluded, you won't be able to open a new account.
Activity Report
View your gaming history, win/loss stats, and time spent to better understand your own habits.

How to Recognize the Warning Signs
Gaming addiction develops gradually, and many people don't notice it at first. Watch out for the following signs:
Chasing losses
Chasing losses by continuing to play in an attempt to recover lost money – this is the most dangerous warning sign.
Uncontrolled time spent
Spending far more time gaming than intended and being unable to stop.
Withdrawing from family and friends
Neglecting social relationships and responsibilities due to gaming.
Financial Issues
Borrowing money from others for gaming, or cutting back on essential expenses to fund betting.
Emotional distress
Feeling irritable, anxious, or restless when unable to game.
Hiding Gaming Activity
Hiding your gaming habits from family or friends, or lying about them.
If you recognize any of these signs in yourself, don't wait – contact the VS98 Support Team or activate self-exclusion right away.
Self-Assessment Questionnaire
Be honest with yourself — if you answer "yes" to most of the questions below, consider seeking professional help.
Do you often spend more time or money on gaming than you planned?
Have you tried to stop gaming but kept failing?
Is gaming affecting your ability to focus on work, family, or studies?
Do you use gaming to cope with stress or anxiety?
Have you argued with family or friends over your gaming habits?
Do you feel the urge to keep playing after a loss to win your money back?
Have you lied to cover up financial problems caused by gaming?
Result: If you answered "yes" to 3 or more questions, talk to our support team. It takes courage, not weakness.
Minor Protection
VS98 strictly prohibits anyone under 18 from using the platform. We believe protecting children and minors is one of our most important responsibilities.
- Age verification is mandatory at registration, and ID may be requested if there is any doubt.
- If a minor's account is identified, it is immediately closed and any deposited funds are returned.
- Parents can install parental control software on their devices.
- Report any suspicious account activity to support@vs98.bid.
Advice for Parents: If your child uses the internet, monitor their online activity regularly and talk to them about the risks of gaming.
How to get help
If you feel gaming is having a negative impact on your life, don't try to handle it alone — reach out for help. Here are a few ways to do so:
- VS98 Support Team: You can speak confidentially with our team via live chat or by emailing support@vs98.bid.
- Activate Self-Exclusion: Take an extended break directly from Account Settings.
- Tell your family: Talk to someone you trust – support from family can make a real difference.
- Professional counseling: Seek advice from a mental health professional — gaming addiction is treatable.
VS98 is committed to standing by you every step of the way. Asking for help means you're already on the right path.
