Responsible Gambling at 888STARZ Sri Lanka
At 888STARZ Sri Lanka, we are fully committed to promoting responsible gambling and creating a safe, supportive environment for all users. Gambling should remain a form of entertainment—not a financial strategy or escape mechanism.
Understanding the Risks
Excessive gambling may be linked to serious mental health issues such as:
- Anxiety and depression
- Financial hardship or debt
- Relationship breakdowns
- Academic or professional failure
- Legal issues or criminal behavior
We emphasize that our platform is designed for enjoyment and should never be considered a primary source of income.
Protection of Minors
888STARZ strictly prohibits access to gambling services by anyone under the legal age. We do not promote or advertise our products to minors or vulnerable individuals.
To protect children and teens in shared device environments, we recommend tools like NetNanny or Cyber Patrol to block access to gambling-related sites.
We perform regular age verification checks. If there is any doubt regarding a user’s age, we may request identity documents. Until verification is complete, account access may be restricted and funds held.
Each user must ensure they comply with local laws. In Sri Lanka, the minimum gambling age is 18 years.
Ethical Advertising and User Transparency
888STARZ guarantees that all promotions and marketing campaigns are:
- Honest and transparent
- Not misleading or manipulative
- Clearly outlining the risks and odds of participation
We do not glamorize gambling or encourage spending beyond one’s means.
Gambling Addiction: Self-Check
If you're unsure whether gambling has become a problem, consider these questions:
- Do you gamble with more money than you planned?
- Have you borrowed money to continue gambling?
- Do you lie to friends or family about your gambling?
- Have you lost interest in hobbies or social activities?
- Do you gamble to escape stress, sadness, or boredom?
- Have you considered self-harm or experienced severe anxiety due to gambling losses?
Answering “yes” to several of these may indicate a gambling issue. Acknowledging the problem is the first step toward recovery.
Tips for Responsible Play
To reduce the risk of gambling harm, we recommend:
- Never gamble when angry, stressed, or under the influence
- Set strict time and budget limits—and stick to them
- Never chase losses
- Avoid gambling as a way to make money
- Only use funds you can afford to lose
Self-Exclusion Program
888STARZ offers a voluntary self-exclusion tool for users who wish to limit or pause their gambling activity. You may request:
- Temporary account closure
- Betting restrictions for 1, 6, or 12 months
To initiate self-exclusion, email us at [email protected] with identity confirmation documents. The verification process takes up to 14 days. Incomplete requests are considered invalid.
Once active, self-exclusion prevents access to your account until the selected period ends. Requests for early reopening are reviewed on a case-by-case basis.
Limiting Bet Amounts
Users can also request maximum betting limits. These can be increased or decreased at any time, but any change becomes effective 24 hours after the request.
Please note: Opening a new account during a self-exclusion period is against our terms. 888STARZ will not accept liability for continued gambling under alternate identities or accounts.
