Online betting and gaming are entertainment — and they should stay that way. 193bet provides real self-control tools, clear information about risks, and non-judgmental support for any Brazilian bettor who needs help.
Responsible gambling is an approach that acknowledges the risks associated with online betting and gaming, and puts player well-being first. At 193bet, this isn't fine-print filler or a legal checkbox — it's a genuine commitment that shaped how the platform was built and how it operates every day.
For the vast majority of people, betting on the Brasileirão, a UFC card, or playing a few rounds of poker on a Friday night is pure entertainment — like going to the movies or watching a series. The problem starts when betting stops being fun and becomes a necessity, a way to make up for financial losses, or a means of coping with difficult emotions.
193bet understands that recognizing this line is not straightforward — players often don't notice when things have gone too far. That's why the platform offers preventive tools that any user can activate at any time, with no need to explain themselves or seek authorization.
This page covers everything that's available, how to activate each tool, and what to do if you — or someone close to you — needs support. The information is straightforward and to the point, because when it comes to well-being, clarity matters.
Tools you can activate right now in your account settings
Set a maximum deposit amount per day, week, or month directly in your account settings. Once set, the limit takes effect immediately. To increase a limit, a 7-day waiting period applies — reductions take effect instantly.
Temporarily suspend your account for 24 hours, 7 days, 30 days, or 90 days. During the break, logging in, placing bets, and making deposits are all disabled. Withdrawals of any real pending balance remain available throughout the break period.
Request permanent account closure with a block on re-registration. Available periods are 6 months, 1 year, 3 years, or permanent. Self-exclusion cannot be reversed before the chosen period ends — that restriction is intentional.
Set play-time alerts to receive a notification when you reach your defined session length — 30 minutes, 1 hour, or 2 hours. When the alert comes through, you decide whether to keep playing or end the session. No pressure, no automatic lock-out.
Set a maximum loss amount per day, week, or month. Once that limit is reached, betting is automatically blocked until the period resets. It's a straightforward way to make sure you never spend more than you decided on with a clear head.
Enable reality check to receive periodic reminders showing your cumulative session time, balance spent, and winnings since the session started. Keeping this information in view helps you make betting decisions with more clarity and less impulse.
Simple steps to set your limits at 193bet
Log in to 193bet and click on your profile icon in the top right corner — it works the same way on mobile and desktop.
In the profile menu, select "Settings" and then "Responsible Gambling". All available self-control tools will appear on the same screen.
Select the tool you want to activate — deposit limit, loss limit, session limit, break, or self-exclusion. Each tool includes a clear explanation of what it does before you confirm.
Enter the desired amount or time period and confirm. Restrictive limits (limit reductions, breaks, self-exclusion) take effect immediately. Limit increases have a 7-day waiting period for your protection.
If you have trouble activating any tool or would prefer to do it with the help of a live agent, contact 193bet support via live chat — available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including weekends and holidays.
When you set a weekly deposit limit of R$ 200.00, for example, any deposit attempt that exceeds that amount within the period is automatically blocked — regardless of the method used (Pix, bank slip, credit or debit card, PicPay, Mercado Pago). The limit applies to the total deposited during the period, not per transaction. If you deposited R$ 150.00 on Monday and try to deposit another R$ 100.00 on Thursday, the system will only allow R$ 50.00.
Self-exclusion is the most definitive measure available at 193bet. Once requested, your account is deactivated immediately — you can no longer log in, bet, play, or deposit for the chosen period. If you have a real-money balance, it will be returned via Pix to the key linked to your CPF after identity verification. Bonus balances are cancelled with no compensation. Once the self-exclusion period ends, account reactivation is not automatic — it requires a formal request along with an additional 7-day reflection period.
The deposit limit controls how much money comes into your account. The loss limit controls how much you can lose. The difference matters because you may have a balance from previous bets or bonuses in your account — without a loss limit, it would be possible to lose more than your deposit for the period. With both limits set, you have full control over the financial flow of your betting at 193bet.
Important: All responsible gambling tools are completely free, unlimited in use, and have no impact on your access to promotions or the VIP program. Using these tools won't affect your account in any negative way — in fact, 193bet actively encourages all bettors to set at least one limit as a starting point.
Identifying the problem early makes all the difference — for you and for the people around you
Depositing more money after a losing streak to try to "win back" what you've lost is one of the clearest signs of problem behavior. Betting has no memory — each outcome is independent of the last, and chasing losses with more bets almost always makes things worse.
Having a R$100.00 weekly betting budget but regularly ending up spending R$400.00 is a sign that control over your gambling is slipping. It can happen gradually — small overruns that slowly become the new normal.
When betting moves beyond leisure — like watching a Brasileirão match — and starts occupying your thoughts at work, during meals, or before bed, that's an important sign that your relationship with gambling has changed.
Feeling the need to hide how much you're betting, or lying about it to people close to you, is usually a sign that deep down you already sense the gambling has crossed a healthy line.
Using money set aside for rent, utilities, groceries, or other essential expenses to fund your betting is a serious warning sign that needs immediate attention. Betting should never put your family's core budget at risk.
Strong feelings of anxiety, restlessness, or irritability when you're unable to bet — due to no internet, being at work, or any other reason — may indicate dependency and deserve professional attention.
Answer the questions below honestly. There are no right or wrong answers — the goal is for you to assess your own relationship with gambling.
193bet believes most bettors can enjoy a healthy relationship with betting as long as a few simple habits are part of their routine. These aren't complicated rules — they're small practices that make a real difference.
The best time to decide how much you're going to spend is before you deposit — not mid-game, with the adrenaline of live betting. Decide how much of your leisure budget you want to put toward betting that week or month, and set that amount as your deposit limit on 193bet. That way, the decision is made with a clear head and the platform helps you stick to it.
Just as you don't leave a movie theater expecting to get your ticket price back, betting has an expected cost. The difference is that sometimes you win — but it's never guaranteed. Treating money wagered as a cost of entertainment rather than an investment completely changes the emotional and financial perspective of gambling.
Long betting sessions — especially during a live UFC card or back-to-back Brasileirão rounds — tend to wear down your decision-making. Use 193bet's session limit as a reminder to take breaks: step away, drink some water, change your surroundings for a few minutes.
Betting right after bad news, on a very stressful day, or after drinking alcohol directly affects the quality of your decisions. In those moments, bets tend to be larger, more impulsive, and less rational. Saving betting for times when you're emotionally balanced is one of the simplest and most effective responsible gambling practices.
This is the most important rule of all. Money for betting must come exclusively from your leisure budget — never from emergency savings, credit card installments, loans, or funds earmarked for fixed expenses. If the only money available is what you need for other essentials, this is not the time to bet.
