Ip44 Responsible Gaming

Responsible gaming means playing with a clear awareness of your financial situation and mental well-being. It doesn't mean you can't enjoy gaming — it means making sure gaming never comes at the expense of the other important areas of your life.

At ip44, we believe an informed player is the best player. When you understand how much time and money is right for you to spend, gaming becomes a truly enjoyable experience. Our platform is here to help you maintain that awareness.

Core Principles of Healthy Gaming

• Treat gaming as entertainment, not a source of income — winning and losing are both a normal part of every bet.
• Only bet what you can afford to lose without it affecting your daily life.
• Set a daily time limit and stop playing once you've reached it.
• Keep a healthy balance between gaming and your family, friends, and social life.
• Don't chase your losses with bigger bets — that's one of the first warning signs of a problem.
• Avoid gaming with borrowed money or funds you've saved.
• Don't use gaming as a way to cope with stress, sadness, or loneliness.

Most people don't realise when gaming has become a problem. Addiction develops gradually, and it's often those closest to you who notice first. Be aware of the signs below — if more than one applies to you, consider reaching out for support.

Behavioural Warning Signs

• You've been placing increasingly larger bets to chase losses.
• Feeling restless, irritable, or uneasy when you're not playing.
• You are hiding how much you play or how much you spend from your family or friends.
• You are neglecting or skipping work, family, or social responsibilities because of gaming.
• You've tried to stop gaming but couldn't.
• Taking out loans or borrowing money from others to fund your gaming.
• You are experiencing sleep issues or find yourself constantly thinking about gaming.

Financial Warning Signs

• You are spending more on gaming than your monthly budget allows.
• You are spending money on gaming instead of paying essential bills.
• Withdrawing money from savings or investments because of gaming.
• When you win, you can't stop — you keep playing for even more.

Ask yourself the questions below and answer honestly. If you answer "Yes" to most of them, it's time to take a step back.

Ip44 offers a range of control features for your convenience, all of which can be activated at any time from your account settings. Using these tools is not a sign of weakness — it's the smart choice of a savvy player.

Deposit Limit

You can set a maximum limit on how much you deposit daily, weekly, or monthly. Any reduction takes effect immediately. Requests to increase your limit will only take effect after a 7-day cooling-off period.

Bet Limit

In each gaming session, you won't be able to wager more than a set amount — a limit you define yourself. It takes effect immediately and protects you from making big decisions in the heat of the moment.

Loss Limit

Once you reach a set loss amount, ip44 will automatically end your session. This limit can be set on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis. It's especially useful for players who tend to go "just a little over" without realising it.

Session Time Limit

Set a maximum limit on how long you can play in a single session. When the time is up, ip44 will automatically log you out. You can also enable reality-check reminders during your session.

Cooling-Off Period

If you'd like to take a temporary break from gaming, you can set a cooling-off period ranging from 24 hours to 6 weeks. During this time, your account will be locked and no marketing messages will be sent to you.

Self-Exclusion

For longer breaks, self-exclusion is available for 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, or permanently. Once self-exclusion is active, your account cannot be reopened during that period, and opening a new account will also be blocked. If you choose permanent exclusion, you may only reapply after 7 years.

Ip44 strictly prohibits anyone under the age of 18 from using the platform. Age verification is mandatory at registration, and additional documentation may be requested for accounts that raise concerns.

Protection on Behalf of Family

If you want to prevent a child or teenager in your household from accessing ip44, you can take the following steps:

• Device Password Management: Use a lock screen password on your phone or computer, and do not share it with children.

• Parental Control Software: Use Net Nanny, Kaspersky Safe Kids, or your device's built-in parental controls.

• Keep Your Account Details Private: Keep your ip44 login credentials, payment cards, and wallet details out of reach of children.

• Speak Up: Have age-appropriate conversations with the children in your home about the risks of online gaming.

• Report: If you suspect a minor is using ip44, please contact us at [email protected].

If you're struggling with a gaming problem, you don't have to face it alone. Alongside ip44's own support team, specialist help is also available. Reaching out takes courage.

Ip44 is committed to building a responsible gaming culture — not just in words, but in practice. The following principles are always upheld on our platform:

Age Verification System

Age verification is mandatory for every new account. Date of birth must be provided at registration, and a government-issued ID is required during KYC verification. Additional documents may be requested at any time if there is any doubt. If an account is found to belong to someone under 18, it will be closed immediately and any deposited funds will be returned.

Marketing Policy

Ip44 never sends marketing messages to users who are self-excluded or on a cooling-off period. Targeting restricted users with promotions goes against our policy. New promotional offers are intended solely for users in good standing — encouraging problem players to bet more is never our goal.

Staff Training

All ip44 customer support staff receive specialist training in responsible gaming. They are equipped to identify problematic gaming behaviour and provide the right assistance.

Regular Review & Improvement

Ip44 reviews its responsible gaming policy every six months. Updates are made based on user feedback, research findings, and international best practices.
