Our Commitment: Ensuring responsible gaming is not just part of our business — it is our ethical obligation. Your mental and financial well-being is our highest priority.

Gaming is enjoyable when it stays a form of entertainment. But when it starts affecting other areas of your life, it becomes a serious concern. At s99, we believe responsible gaming means knowing your limits, taking breaks when needed, and maintaining healthy relationships with family and friends.

Every player's experience is different. Some play once a week, others spend a little time each day — whatever your pattern, what matters is that gaming does not take over your life. You should be in control of the game, not the other way around. On this page, we have brought together all the key information, tools, and guidance on responsible gaming so you can always make the right call.

Remember — gaming is purely a form of entertainment. It should never be seen as a source of income or a way to solve financial problems. Every game outcome is entirely random, and no strategy or system can guarantee a win. Always bet only what you can afford to lose without it affecting your daily life.

S99 Responsible Gaming Tools

We provide practical tools that help you stay fully in control of your gaming activity.

Setting a Deposit Limit

Set your own daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits. Once a limit is in place, it cannot be exceeded.

Session Time Limit

Decide in advance how long you will play each session. Once the time is up, the system will automatically send you a reminder.

Loss Limit

If your losses exceed a set amount, your session will automatically end to prevent further significant losses.

Cooldown Break

Temporarily suspend your account for anywhere between 24 hours and 30 days. This break is highly effective for clearing your head and regaining perspective.

Permanent Self-Exclusion

If you feel gaming is having a negative impact on your life, the option to permanently close your account is always available.

Reality Check

Pop-up notifications will appear at regular intervals to remind you how long you have been playing.

Quick Tips

  • Set a budget before you play and stick to it.
  • Never play while under the influence of alcohol or when you are tired.
  • Never chase losses by placing larger bets out of frustration.
  • Take regular breaks — get up and walk around once every hour.
  • Set aside your winnings instead of betting them again.
  • Do not think of gaming as a profession or a source of income.

Recognize the Warning Signs

The first step to responsible gaming is being aware of your own behavior. Gaming habits can be broken down into three levels:

Responsible Gaming

You are playing within a set budget, you can accept losses without distress, you are balancing gaming with family and work, and you enjoy gaming without it being the centre of your life.

Warning Stage

Occasionally spending over your budget, feeling frustrated after losses and wanting to play again, or hiding your gaming from people close to you — these are signs that it is time to take stock.

Need Help

If you are losing control of your gaming, borrowing money to play, straining relationships with family, or feeling increasingly anxious — seek support immediately and use the self-exclusion tool.

How to Use the Control Tools

S99's responsible gaming tools are easy to activate from your account settings. Taking a moment to set them up now will benefit you greatly in the long run.

Deposit Limit

Go to your account settings, select the "Deposit Limit" option, and set your daily, weekly, or monthly limit. Limit reductions take effect immediately.

Session Timer

Use the "Session Limit" option to set a maximum session duration. Once the time is up, you will be automatically logged out or receive a warning notification.

Cooldown Mode

Use the "Take a Break" option for a temporary pause. Choose anywhere from 24 hours up to 6 weeks.

Self-Exclusion

Use the "Self-Exclusion" option to permanently close your account. To reverse this decision, you will need to wait out the designated cooling-off period.

Responsible Gaming Principles

Responsible gaming on s99 is not just about following limits — it is a mindset. Keeping to these core principles will ensure gaming stays enjoyable:

  • Play for Entertainment Only: Expecting to earn a steady income from gaming will only lead to disappointment. Treat it as an entertainment expense, not an investment.
  • Keep your expectations realistic: The outcome of every game is random. There is no guarantee that a winning streak will continue.
  • Only Bet What You Can Afford: Never bet money that, if lost, would prevent you from covering your essential expenses.
  • Take Regular Breaks: Your judgment weakens during long sessions. Making it a habit to take a break every hour is a good practice.
  • Keep Your Emotions in Check: Avoid gaming when you are angry, frustrated, or overly emotional.
  • Let Your Family Know: Talk openly with your loved ones about your gaming habits.

There is no single rulebook for responsible gaming — it comes down to being honest with yourself. s99 is always here to help you make the right decisions.

Protection of Minors

S99 strictly prohibits anyone under 18 from using the platform. We employ every available technical and procedural measure to keep minors away from gaming.

  • Age verification is mandatory at the time of registration.
  • During the KYC process, your age is re-verified using a government-issued ID.
  • Suspicious accounts are reviewed immediately.

Advice for Parents: Use Parental Control software and keep your devices password-protected to prevent minors at home from accessing online gaming.

Responsible Gaming FAQs

For a temporary cooldown break, your account will be reactivated automatically once the set period ends. For permanent self-exclusion, however, your account cannot be reactivated until the chosen period — typically between 6 months and 5 years — has fully elapsed. You select this duration yourself, and it is there entirely for your own protection.

Reducing your deposit limit takes effect immediately. However, requests to increase your limit are generally subject to a 7-day cooling-off period. This rule protects you from making impulsive decisions in moments of weak willpower.
