At 26m, the joy of gaming only means something when it is done responsibly and in a controlled manner. We provide a range of tools and resources to help you enjoy a healthy, safe and stress-free gaming experience.
Responsible gaming means enjoying online gaming as a form of entertainment — not as a way to generate income, relieve stress, or solve financial problems. At 26m, we believe every member deserves to play in a safe, fair, and enjoyable environment without unnecessary risks.
The reality we must acknowledge together is that online gaming, like other forms of entertainment, can spiral out of control if not managed wisely. Gaming addiction is a real mental health issue that can seriously affect one's personal life, family relationships, and finances. That is why 26m takes this responsibility seriously and provides a wide range of resources and support tools for all our members.
The core principle of responsible gaming at 26m is simple: set limits, stick to them, and stop playing when it starts to feel like an obligation rather than enjoyment. We're here to support you every step of your entertainment journey.
Online gaming is strictly for individuals aged 18 and above. 26m uses a rigorous age verification system to ensure our platform remains free from underage users.
One of the most important steps in responsible gaming is recognising the early signs when gaming begins to negatively affect your life. Many people don't realise their playing patterns have become problematic until it's too late. Here are some warning signs you should take seriously:
If you recognise two or more of the signs above in yourself, please contact the 26m support team immediately. We are here to help, not to judge.
26m provides a range of self-control tools that you can use at any time through your account settings. These tools are specifically designed to help you maintain full control over your gaming experience and ensure entertainment stays within healthy, responsible limits.
Set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits to control the amount of money going into your gaming account. These limits take effect immediately once set.
Set the maximum loss amount you are willing to accept within a given period. Our system will automatically end your session once this limit is reached.
Set your daily session time limit. Once the time limit is reached, the system will send a reminder and automatically end your active session to give you the break you need.
Take a short break from the platform for 24 hours, 7 days or 30 days. During the break period, you will not be able to log in or make any transactions on your account.
Long-term self-exclusion options of 6 months, 1 year, or permanently are available for those who need a more serious break. All applications are processed immediately.
Regularly review detailed reports of your gaming activity and transactions to get a clear picture of your playing habits and spending over time.
All limits you set are binding and cannot be relaxed immediately — a cooling-off period is applied to protect you from impulsive decisions.
Use the following questions to honestly assess your gaming habits. This is not an official test, but it can be a good starting point for meaningful self-reflection. Answer honestly with yourself:
Have you ever played with more money than you planned or could afford to lose?
Do you need to play with increasingly larger amounts of money to achieve the same level of excitement?
Have you ever borrowed money or sold possessions to fund your playing?
Have the people closest to you ever expressed concern about your gaming habits?
Do you play to escape from problems, sadness, loneliness or stress in your life?
Do you feel anxious, irritable or unable to sleep when you try to stop playing?
Have you ever hidden your gaming activity or lied to loved ones about the time and money you spent?
Has gaming ever caused you to neglect your work, family or study responsibilities?
Have you ever tried to stop playing but failed repeatedly despite your best intentions?
Do you frequently think about gaming — planning your next session or how to get more money to play?
If you answered "yes" to three or more of the questions above, we encourage you to use the self-control tools in your 26m account or contact our support team for further assistance.
Setting limits before you play is a best practice recommended by all responsible gaming experts worldwide. Here is a step-by-step guide you can follow to ensure your gaming experience stays enjoyable and does not affect your daily life:
Calculate your remaining balance after deducting all your fixed monthly expenses — rent, bills, food, transport and savings. From that remaining amount, allocate only a small portion for entertainment including online gaming. This entertainment budget is money you are truly prepared to lose entirely.
Log in to your account and navigate to the Responsible Settings section. Enter the deposit limit, loss limit and play time limit you have decided on. Make sure these limits reflect your actual entertainment budget — not merely aspirational figures.
This is the most challenging part. Many people are easily tempted to keep playing when things are going well. Remember that the limits you set are there to protect you in the long run — not just for bad days alone.
Review your limits and playing habits every month. If you find yourself consistently hitting your limits within the first few days of the month, this may be a sign that your limits need to be lowered further, or that you should consider taking a break from the platform.
Share your responsible gaming limits and goals with someone you trust — a partner, family member or close friend. Having an external accountability system can help you stay committed to the limits you have set.
