At city888, we believe every gaming session should be enjoyable, not a burden. This page provides all the information, control tools, and guidance you need to keep your gaming experience positive and in check.
Responsible gaming doesn't mean not playing at all — it means playing in a controlled way, within your means, and with a healthy mindset. Online entertainment such as slots, Live Casino, Sports Betting, and bingo are fun activities when approached the right way.
Problems begin to arise when gaming stops being entertainment and becomes a way to solve financial issues, escape from stress, or recover money that has been lost. city888 understands this reality and we take this responsibility seriously.
That is why we provide a range of tools and resources you can use to ensure your gaming experience at city888 stays in the fun zone — not a stressful one. These tools are specifically designed to put full control in your hands as a player.
Use these tools to ensure your gaming experience stays within your own control.

✓ Instant ActivationSet the maximum amount you are willing to lose within a given period. Once the loss limit is reached, you will not be able to continue playing until the limit period naturally resets.

Before you play, set a clear limit on how much you're willing to spend. Treat this money as an entertainment cost — like a cinema ticket or a meal out — not an investment you expect to profit from.
Decide how long you'll play before you start. Stop when the time is up, regardless of whether you're winning or losing. Playing longer than planned is an early warning sign.
Online gaming is designed to entertain. If you're no longer having fun, or you're playing just to recover losses, it's time to stop and take a break.
Chasing losses — continuing to play in an attempt to recover money you've lost — is one of the most dangerous traps. Accept losses as the cost of entertainment and stop when you've reached your limit.
Make sure gaming never gets in the way of your core responsibilities — work, family, relationships, and health. Healthy entertainment doesn't come at the expense of what matters most in life.
Asking for help is not a sign of weakness — it's a sign of maturity and courage. If gaming is starting to feel like a problem, talk to someone you trust or reach out to the city888 support team.
Problem gambling rarely happens overnight. It usually starts slowly — bit by bit, playing habits that seem normal begin to shift into something more serious. Recognising the early signs is the most important step in addressing the issue.
If you recognise yourself in any of the signs on the right, don't ignore them. The earlier you take action, the easier it is to return to a healthy playing pattern.
Borrowing money, selling assets, or using funds meant for necessities in order to keep playing.
Feeling uncomfortable, irritable, or restless when unable to play.
Continuing to play after losses in the hope of recovering the money lost.
Lying to family or friends about how much time and money has been spent.
Unable to stop playing even when you intend to.
Work, family, or other responsibilities start to be neglected in favour of gaming.
Ask yourself these questions honestly. This isn't a test — it's a way for you to understand your own gaming patterns.
Have you ever played longer or spent more than you planned, and found it hard to stop even when you wanted to?
Have you ever felt the need to hide from family or friends how much time you spent or how much money you used for gaming?
Have you ever used money meant for other needs — such as bills, rent, or food — for gaming?
Do you frequently think about gaming even while doing other things, or feel restless when you're unable to play?
Have you ever played to escape problems, stress, anxiety, or sadness in your daily life?
Have you ever tried to stop playing but couldn't, or found that you needed to wager larger amounts to get the same level of enjoyment?
If you are concerned about your own gaming habits or those of someone you care about, follow these steps.
The first and most important step is acknowledging that there is a problem. Admit to yourself that help is needed — this is a sign of strength, not weakness.
Log in to your city888 account and activate self-exclusion or the appropriate control limits. This will give you immediate space to step back from the platform.
Reach the city888 support team via live chat. We are trained to help and will provide guidance without judgment.
For deeper support, consider speaking with a family member, a trusted friend, or a qualified counselling professional.
