At 988bet, responsible gambling is more than fine print. It's a real set of tools, accessible on your phone at any time, so you stay in control of how much you deposit, how long you play, and when you need to take a break. Because betting on the Brasileirão or playing live blackjack should be fun — and it's only fun when it's under control.
Tools available at 988bet
All available for free in your account settings. No red tape, no waiting — activate, adjust, or remove them whenever you like.
Set the maximum amount you can deposit per day, week, or month. Once configured, the limit can only be reduced immediately. Increases are held for review for 7 days — time for you to reconsider whether you really need to raise it.
Choose how much time per day you want to spend playing on the platform. When the limit is reached, your session ends automatically. You'll receive a 10-minute warning so you can wrap up your game comfortably.
Need a break? Block your account for 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days with a single click. During self-exclusion, no betting, deposits, or account access is possible — on mobile or desktop.
For players who recognize a gambling dependency, 988bet offers permanent account closure. The process is irreversible and access to the platform is blocked permanently. Any available balance is returned before closure.
Access a detailed history of all your bets, deposits, withdrawals, and bonuses used. Seeing the real numbers behind what you deposit and spend is one of the most effective ways to stay in control of your gambling.
Our responsible gambling team is available as a priority through live chat and at suporte@988bet.express. If you or someone close to you is concerned about gambling behavior, reach out — we respond in Portuguese, without judgment.
Responsible gambling means betting within your own financial and emotional limits, in a mindful and controlled way. That means setting a budget before you start, understanding that losses are part of the game, and never wagering money you need for bills, food, or other essentials.
At 988bet, we know the vast majority of our users play for fun — to make cheering for Flamengo in the Brasileirão Série A a little more exciting, to unwind with a live blackjack game after work, or to try their luck on a slot while waiting for the weekend. That kind of conscious, recreational gambling is exactly what we support.
The problem starts when gambling stops being entertainment and begins interfering with your finances, relationships, or mental health. This can happen to anyone, regardless of income, education, or betting experience. Recognizing that risk is the first step toward staying in control.
Always remember: Betting should be treated as entertainment — like going to the movies or subscribing to a streaming service. Set a fixed budget for it, enjoy it for what it is, and never chase your losses by betting more. That is the golden rule of responsible gambling.
All of 988bet's responsible gambling tools are available directly in your account settings, with no need to contact support for most of them. Here is how to access them:
Log in to 988bet on mobile or desktop using your username and password. In the top-right corner, click your name or profile icon to open the account menu.
In the account menu, find the "Responsible Gambling" or "Security Settings" section. All the tools described on this page are centralized there.
Set your deposit limit (daily, weekly, or monthly), your session time limit, and any other tools you want to activate. Changes that reduce limits take effect immediately. Increases take 7 days.
For temporary self-exclusion (24h, 7 or 30 days), simply select the period and confirm. Permanent self-exclusion requires an additional email confirmation — because it's irreversible and we want to make sure it's a fully informed decision.
If you have any trouble activating the tools or would like to speak with a member of our responsible gambling team, reach us via live chat or at suporte@988bet.express. Our team is available in Portuguese 24 hours a day.
Catching the warning signs early makes all the difference. Below are the most common behaviors that may indicate gambling has shifted from entertainment to a problem. If you identify with three or more, it's time to use 988bet's responsible gambling tools or seek professional support.
You deposit more than you planned, use money set aside for bills, or turn to a credit card to keep playing.
"Just one more deposit to win back what I lost." That thought is a clear sign that gambling has stopped being entertainment.
You hide from family or friends how much time you spend betting or how much money you've moved in the last few days or weeks.
Feeling uneasy, restless, or irritated when you can't access the platform or have to stop playing are signs of dependency.
Sessions that start as "just 30 minutes" and regularly stretch into hours are a sign that gambling is taking up more than it should.
Letting work, family, studies, or health slide because of gambling — whether to play more or because of stress over losses.
If any of these signs resonate with you, you don't have to go through this alone. 988bet's responsible gambling team is on hand to help with full confidentiality and priority attention. Reach out by email at suporte@988bet.express with the subject line "Responsible Gambling — I Need Support".
988bet believes a sustainable betting platform is one that looks after its users for the long term. Encouraging compulsive gambling makes no sense — it harms players, creates conflict, and ultimately benefits no one. That's why our commitment to responsible gambling is operational, not just regulatory.
In practice, this means:
We also recognize that in-platform tools are not enough for every situation. That is why we encourage users who identify a dependency to seek specialized external support — mental health professionals, support groups, and dedicated gambling addiction services are available in Brazil.
988bet's services are exclusively for people aged 18 and over. This isn't just a legal requirement — it's a firm position of the platform. Betting and casino games are not appropriate for minors, and we do everything in our power to ensure no one under 18 can access the platform.
The protective measures currently in place include:
If you're a parent or guardian and suspect a minor has created a 988bet account, contact us immediately at suporte@988bet.express with the subject line "Minor Protection — Urgent". Our team treats these cases as a top priority.

Details on how each responsible gambling feature available at 988bet works.
Set a maximum deposit amount per period. You can configure multiple limits at once — for example, BRL 100.00 per day and BRL 500.00 per week. Reductions take effect immediately. Increase requests are held for 7 days and must be reconfirmed before they go into effect — this waiting period is there to protect you from impulsive decisions.
Set a maximum active play time per day — for example, 2 hours. As you approach the limit, you will receive an on-screen warning. Once the limit is reached, your session ends automatically. To play again on the same day, you will need to wait until the next period begins or adjust your limit (with a 7-day waiting period for increases).
Temporary self-exclusion completely blocks access to your account for the chosen period — 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During that time, you cannot log in, deposit, or place bets through any 988bet channel. Your balance remains intact and is available for withdrawal once the exclusion period expires.
Permanent account closure is irreversible. Before you confirm, the process requires email verification and a 48-hour reflection period. Your available balance is fully refunded via Pix before closure. Once confirmed, no new account registration using the same CPF will be permitted at 988bet.
Your full account statement — Pix deposits, bank slips, and credit card transactions, withdrawals, bets placed, bonuses activated, and results — is available for download at any time. Reviewing the real amounts moved over the last 30 or 90 days is a concrete way to stay aware of your own gambling behavior.
Set alerts to remind you every 30, 60, or 90 minutes of an active session. The reminder appears on screen with information on how long you've been playing and how much you've deposited that day — objective data to help you make a conscious decision about whether to keep going or stop.
