Our commitment

Hibajee12 believes online gaming is a form of entertainment — not a source of income. We place the mental and financial well-being of every player at the top of our priorities. Our responsible gaming program is dedicated to preventing addiction, minimizing harm, and providing support services.

This page will help you understand gaming risks, set your own limits, and find the support you need. If you ever feel your gaming is getting out of control, we are always here for you.

🎮 Remember: Gaming is for entertainment only. Never treat it as a way to cover financial shortfalls or strain your household budget.

⚠️ Signs of gaming addiction

  • Losing track of time: Playing longer than planned.
  • Escalating amounts: Spending increasingly more money to get the same thrill.
  • Inability to stop playing: Unable to cut back or stop playing.
  • Emotional stress: Feeling anxious or irritable when not playing.
  • Impact on relationships and responsibilities: Problems with family, work, or school.
  • Financial hardship: Experiencing financial stress or debt as a result of gaming.

If you notice any of these signs, take immediate action.

Tools to manage your gaming

Hibajee12 provides players with a range of tools to stay in control. They are robust and available to everyone.

1. Set daily / weekly limits

You can set a daily or weekly cap on how much you wager. Once the limit is reached, no further deposits will be accepted.

2. Time limits

Set a daily time limit for playing. Once the limit is reached, your account will be locked automatically.

3. Self-exclusion

If you feel you need to stop playing, you can close your account for a set period — days, weeks, months, or years.

4. Cool-off period

If you feel you are making impulsive decisions, you can place a temporary pause on your account. No activity is possible during this period.

5. Reality check warnings

You will receive notifications at set intervals (every 30 or 60 minutes) to remind you how long you have been playing.

  • All limits can be adjusted at any time from your account settings.
  • We never share your personal financial information with any third party.
  • Setting limits is always free and no questions asked.
  • You must wait at least 24 hours after the self-exclusion period ends before requesting to reopen your account.

Responsible gaming best practices

Follow these tips to ensure a safe and enjoyable gaming experience:

Practice Why it matters
Only use disposable funds Only play with money you can afford to lose without causing financial hardship.
Set a budget and stick to it Set a maximum spending limit before you start playing and do not exceed it.
Set limits Keep daily and weekly deposit and playtime limits in place.
Take regular breaks Take at least a 5–10 minute break every hour and step outside.
Do not lie about your gaming Be open with family or friends about your gaming — hiding it is the biggest warning sign.
Invest in other activities Spend time on hobbies and social activities other than gaming.

Post-session self-assessment questionnaire

Ask yourself these questions every week:

  • Was the money I spent within my planned budget?
  • Have I been able to stick to my time limits while playing?
  • Has gaming had a negative impact on my family life or work?
  • Has chasing a win kept me up at night?
  • Have I skipped important responsibilities to make time for gaming?

If you answered yes to more than one question, it is time to seek help.

Yes, absolutely — and many people have successfully recovered. Addiction is a behavioral condition, and with the right support, improvement can happen quickly. Reach out to professional mental health counselors and work toward recovery one step at a time.

Your account is not reopened automatically after a self-exclusion period ends. You must actively request to reopen it through live chat. This design ensures you return to play only when you are genuinely ready.

First, stay calm and be patient. Raise the issue without being confrontational. Encourage them to seek professional help. If they are not receptive, talk to other family members and consult a mental health professional.

Yes, absolutely. Your account dashboard shows your gaming history, win/loss records, and total spend. This helps you understand your playing patterns and stay in control.

No, not at all. Setting limits, making changes, or self-exclusion — everything is completely free. It is part of our responsible gaming commitment.

No, never. Hibajee12 strictly enforces an 18+ policy. Age is verified at registration, and identity documents are checked again during the KYC process. If an underage account is created, it is closed immediately.
