Responsible Gaming at bage
bage believes that gambling should always be an enjoyable, controlled activity — never a source of stress, financial harm, or personal crisis. Our responsible gaming programme gives every player the tools, information, and support they need to stay in control at all times.
How bage Keeps You Safe
We have built a comprehensive set of player-protection features directly into the bage platform. Every tool described below is available free of charge to all registered account holders.
Deposit Limits
Set a daily, weekly, or monthly deposit cap that prevents you from funding your account beyond a pre-agreed amount. Once a limit is active, it takes effect immediately. Increasing a deposit limit requires a mandatory 48-hour cooling period before the higher limit applies — decreases take effect at once. Contact [email protected] to configure your deposit limits at any time.
Session Time Limits
Define the maximum number of minutes or hours you want to spend on bage in a single session. When your limit is reached, the platform will display a notification and log you out automatically. This feature prevents the common pattern of "just one more game" thinking that can extend play sessions beyond what was originally intended.
Cooling-Off Period
If you feel you need a short break from gambling without fully closing your account, a cooling-off period lets you pause your bage account for 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During a cooling-off period, you cannot deposit, place bets, or access the games lobby. The pause cannot be cancelled early — it must run its full duration.
Self-Exclusion
Self-exclusion is available for periods of 6 months, 1 year, or permanently. When self-exclusion is active, your account is closed, all marketing communications are suppressed, and re-registration is blocked. A permanent self-exclusion cannot be reversed. To activate self-exclusion, contact [email protected] with the subject line "Self-Exclusion Request" from your registered email address.
Reality Checks
Enable periodic reality check pop-ups that display how long you have been playing in the current session, your net win or loss for that session, and a prompt asking whether you wish to continue or log out. Reality checks can be set at intervals of 15, 30, or 60 minutes and are displayed between game rounds so they never interrupt an active bet.
Loss Limits
In addition to deposit limits, bage allows players to set a maximum loss threshold on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis. Once your cumulative net losses reach the threshold within the defined period, further gameplay is suspended for the remainder of that period. Loss limits give you a clear financial boundary regardless of your current balance or bonus funds.
Recognising Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually and is not always obvious to the person experiencing it. The following warning signs may indicate that gambling has shifted from entertainment to something more harmful. If you recognise several of these in yourself or someone you know, please reach out to [email protected] or a professional counselling service.
If you answer "yes" to three or more of the self-assessment questions in the next section, we strongly encourage you to activate a cooling-off period or self-exclusion immediately and to speak with a qualified counsellor.
Spending more money on gambling than you originally planned or can afford to lose.
Chasing losses — placing more bets to try to recover money you have already lost.
Lying to friends, family members, or colleagues about how much time or money you spend gambling.
Neglecting work, study, family, or social responsibilities because of gambling activity.
Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when you are unable to gamble or when trying to cut down.
Borrowing money, selling possessions, or using emergency funds to finance gambling sessions.
Thinking about gambling constantly — replaying past sessions or planning the next one.
Using gambling as a way to escape stress, depression, loneliness, or other emotional difficulties.
Quick Self-Check Questions
Answer these questions honestly. They are not a clinical diagnostic tool, but they can help you reflect on your relationship with gambling. This checklist is adapted from widely used responsible gaming frameworks used by international gaming operators.
There are no right or wrong answers. This checklist is for your personal reflection only. bage does not record your responses to these questions. If you are concerned about your answers, use the responsible gaming tools described in the previous section or contact our support team.
Have you ever spent more time or money gambling than you originally intended for that session?
Have you ever gambled to try to win back money that you had previously lost?
Have you ever borrowed money or sold items to fund a gambling session?
Has gambling ever negatively affected your relationships with family, friends, or colleagues?
Have you ever felt the need to hide your gambling activity from people close to you?
Have you ever felt depressed, anxious, or guilty after a gambling session?
Have you ever tried to cut down on your gambling but found it difficult to do so?
Do you find yourself thinking about gambling when you are doing other activities?
How to Activate Responsible Gaming Tools
Setting up any responsible gaming tool on bage takes less than two minutes. Follow the steps below or contact our 24/7 support team who can activate any restriction on your behalf.
Access your bage account using your registered credentials. All responsible gaming settings are accessible from your account dashboard under the "Player Safety" section.
In your account settings, select the "Player Safety" or "Responsible Gaming" tab. You will see all available tools listed clearly with their current status and configuration options.
Choose the tool you want — deposit limit, time limit, cooling-off, self-exclusion — and enter your preferred settings. Read the confirmation screen carefully before applying any restriction.
Confirm your selection. Restrictions that tighten limits or pause access take effect immediately. Limit relaxations require a 48-hour cooling period to activate, protecting you from impulsive decisions.
