What Is Responsible Gaming and Why It Matters
Responsible gaming means enjoying gaming as a form of entertainment — where you stay aware of your own limits, keep control over your time and money, and ensure that gaming has no negative impact on your daily life, relationships, or finances.
At 1337tx, we believe real fun comes when there's nothing weighing on your mind. We place responsible gaming at the heart of our platform to ensure every player has an enjoyable experience. Gaming addiction is a real issue — and talking about it isn't a sign of weakness, it's a sign of courage.
Recognize the Signs of Problem Gaming
It's not always easy to tell when gaming has become a problem. Watch out for these warning signs.
If you notice two or more of the above signs in yourself, take action now. Contact our Help Center or enroll in the Self-Exclusion Program.
How to Use 1337tx's Protective Tools
After logging in to our platform, you can activate the following tools from the "Responsible Gaming" section in your account settings.
Step 1: Set a Deposit Limit
Go to Account Settings → Responsible Gaming → Deposit Limit to set a daily, weekly, or monthly limit. Decreasing the limit takes effect immediately, but increasing it requires a 72-hour waiting period.
Step 2: Enable the Session Timer
Set a maximum playtime before you start your session. When the time is up, a pop-up notification will appear and you can choose to end the session.
Step 3: Take a Cooling-Off Period
If you feel you need a break, you can pause your account for anywhere between 24 hours and 6 weeks. Your account will be temporarily deactivated during this period.
Step 4: Join the Self-Exclusion Program
If you need a longer break, self-exclusion is available. You can suspend your account for as short as 6 months or close it permanently. Our support team will guide you through the process.
Step 5: Seek Support
For any concerns, reach us via live chat or email through the Help Center. Our team will assist you with complete confidentiality.
