What Does Responsible Gaming Really Mean?

Responsible Gaming means enjoying betting as a natural part of your life — without it becoming a problem. There's a clear difference between placing a few bets while watching cricket and desperately chasing losses. That distinction is what Responsible Gaming is all about.

StarSport believes betting should always stay fun. That's why we've built tools directly into the platform to help you set your own boundaries and stick to them. Using these tools isn't a sign of weakness — it's a sign of self-awareness.

Please Note: Every bet is a cost of entertainment. Just as you don't expect a refund on a cinema ticket, be prepared to lose the money you bet.

Protection Tools

How to Use StarSport's Safe Betting Tools

Deposit & Betting Limits
Set Your Own Budget
This is the most effective tool available. Set a daily or weekly deposit limit in advance — once you hit it, StarSport won't allow any further deposits.
  • Go to Account Settings
  • Click the "Responsible Gaming" tab
  • Set daily / weekly / monthly limits
  • Reducing a limit takes effect immediately; increasing one takes effect after 24 hours
Session Timer
Know How Long You've Been Playing
It's easy to lose track of time during a long betting session. With the session timer on, StarSport will automatically notify you when your set time is up.
  • Enable "Session Reminder" from the app settings
  • Choose between 30 minutes, 1 hour, or 2 hours
  • You'll receive a notification when the time is up
Cooling-Off Period
Take a Break for a While
Sometimes you just need to pause. When you activate Cooling-Off mode, your account is temporarily deactivated — you won't be able to log in or place bets, but you can still check your balance.
  • Choose any period from 24 hours to 30 days
  • Cooling-off starts immediately
  • Cannot be cancelled before the period ends
Self-Exclusion
Long-Term Break or Permanent Closure
If you feel betting is out of control, self-exclusion is the most effective step. Once activated, it cannot be reversed before the chosen period ends.
  • Choose 6 months, 1 year, or permanently
  • Contact Customer Support or do it via Settings
  • All promotional communications will stop during the exclusion period
  • Existing balance can be withdrawn
Warning Signs

Watch Out for These Warning Signs

Warning signs often appear before betting becomes a serious problem. If you notice any of these in yourself, don't wait — get support now.

⚠️
Placing more bets to recover lost money – This is called "chasing losses." Once you fall into this trap, the damage adds up fast.
⚠️
Spending beyond your betting budget – At the end of the month, you realize a large portion of your income has gone into betting.
⚠️
Hiding your betting from family or friends — you're betting without telling anyone and actively hiding it.
⚠️
Feeling restless when you can't bet – A match is on and you can't place a bet — you feel an intense sense of discomfort.
⚠️
Betting with borrowed money – No savings left, yet borrowing money to place bets.
⚠️
Betting is affecting your work, studies, or relationships — other important areas of your life are being neglected.
Take Action

What to Do If You Have a Problem

1
Be Honest with Yourself
Admitting there's a problem is the hardest but most important step. Be honest with yourself.
2
Use StarSport's Tools
Go to your account right away and lower your deposit limit or activate a cooling-off period.
3
Tell Someone You Trust
Letting a family member or close friend know gives you social support and creates accountability.
4
Take a Self-Exclusion
Take an extended break. During this time, consider speaking with a psychologist or counsellor.
5
Seek Professional Help
Seeking advice from a mental health professional takes courage. Reach out to the mental health department at any hospital near you.

The Golden Rules of Safe Betting

Habits picked up from experienced bettors on StarSport — follow these to keep betting fun every time.

  • Play for Entertainment Only – Don't treat betting as a source of income or a financial fix.
  • Set a Budget Beforehand – Decide at the start of each month exactly how much you're willing to spend on betting.
  • Walk Away When You Lose — don't try to chase a big loss by placing more bets.
  • Take Regular Breaks — take breaks during each session; don't play for hours on end without stopping.
  • Don't Bet Under Stress — don't make betting decisions when you're angry, upset, or under the influence of alcohol.
  • Bet Based on Information — bet based on team and player form, not just emotion.
FAQ

FAQs

Yes, two members of the same household can each open a separate account — provided they each use a different national ID, a different mobile number, and a different payment method. StarSport's policy is that each person may operate only one account. Creating two accounts under different identities is a violation of our rules and puts both accounts at risk of permanent closure.

To update personal details, contact customer support. For a mobile number change, both your old number and new number must be verified via OTP. For a name change, a copy of your national ID is required. Name changes on KYC-verified accounts are restricted and only approved for minor corrections such as spelling fixes.
