Identifying Gaming Addiction and Warning signs

Gaming addiction is a real issue that can affect players of any age. Recognizing these warning signs is important to protect yourself or someone you care about.

Possible signs of gaming addiction:

• Constantly thinking about gaming and feeling restless until you can play again
• Prioritizing gaming over family, friends, or work
• Continuously increasing your gaming budget or losing control of it
• Feeling bad after playing but continuing anyway
• Experiencing financial difficulties or relationship strain
• Feeling anxious or irritable when trying to cut back on gaming
• Lying or hiding the truth about your gaming
• Missing school or work to play

Okgo's Protection Tools and Control tools

Okgo offers multiple tools to help you manage your gaming experience. All of them are available in your account settings, completely free of charge.

1. Deposit limit

You can set a daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limit. Once the limit is reached, you won't be able to make further deposits until that period ends. This ensures you never play beyond your means.

2. Loss Limits

Set a loss limit — decide the maximum amount you're willing to lose in a given period. If you reach that limit, your account will be suspended for the remainder of that period.

3. Session Time Limits

Set a time limit for how long you want to play in one session. When the time is up, you will be logged out and encouraged to take a break.

4. Self-Exclusion and Breaks

Temporary break: Automatically suspend your account for anywhere from 1 day to 6 months. During this period you will not be able to log in or make any transactions.

Permanent self-exclusion: If you want to stop gaming altogether, you can permanently close your account. This cannot be reversed and is a permanent decision.

Smart budget management and Financial Planning

Responsible gaming starts with a budget. It is important that you only play with money you can afford to lose — money that will not affect your other priorities.

Steps to set your budget:

• Calculate your monthly income — account for all regular sources of income
• Deduct essential expenses first — rent, food, utilities, transport, and other essential needs
• Set money aside for savings — keep a fund set aside for emergencies
• Allocate the remaining amount for entertainment — gaming should only account for a portion of this amount
• Set your gaming budget — stick to it strictly and never go over it

Budget management tips:

• Use only cash as your budget — it keeps you aware of what you are spending
• Never play with credit card or loan funds — only play with your own money
• Do not count winnings as a new budget — winnings do not count as part of your budget
• Don't chase your losses — never chase losses by playing more
