Responsible Gaming
Responsible gaming means enjoying casino entertainment in a conscious, controlled way that protects your finances, your time and your wellbeing. On kingmeker.bet (the Kingmaker profile operated by Rabidi N.V. under a Curaçao licence), you are encouraged to set clear limits, recognise risks early and seek help whenever needed. While kingmeker.bet accepts players from the UK, it is not licensed by the UK Gambling Commission (UKGC) and is not part of GamStop, so UK-specific regulatory protections do not apply here. This page explains the tools, resources and support available so that you can make informed decisions and ask our team for help at any time.
Risk Awareness
Gambling should be a form of entertainment, not a way to make money or solve financial problems. Understanding the early signs of problematic play helps you act before gambling starts to harm your life. Even though kingmeker.bet is licensed in Curaçao rather than the UK, the same international responsible gambling standards apply, and recognising risk is your first line of protection.
Common Warning Signs of Gambling Problems
- Thinking about gambling most of the day: planning the next session at kingmeker.bet, replaying past bets, or feeling restless when you cannot log in.
- Betting more than you can afford: using money needed for rent, bills, food, debts or essential commitments to continue playing.
- Chasing losses: increasing your stakes or returning quickly after losing in an attempt to "win it back".
- Loss of control over time: playing much longer than intended, ignoring breaks, or missing work, studies or family events because you are gambling.
- Hiding gambling activity: lying to family or friends about how often you play on kingmeker.bet or how much you have spent.
- Emotional distress: feeling anxious, depressed, guilty or irritable when gambling or when you try to reduce or stop.
- Borrowing or using credit to gamble: taking loans, using overdrafts or credit cards, or selling possessions to fund play.
Quick Self-Assessment Checklist
Ask yourself the following questions honestly. They are not a medical diagnosis but can help you decide whether to seek professional support:
- Do I often gamble longer or for more money than I originally planned?
- Have I tried to cut down or stop gambling at kingmeker.bet in the last 12 months and failed?
- Do I feel restless, irritable or low when I cannot gamble or when I try to take a break?
- Have my gambling losses caused financial problems for me or my household (missed bills, new debts, borrowing money)?
- Have friends or family expressed concern about how much or how often I gamble?
- Do I gamble to escape problems, relieve boredom, anxiety or low mood?
- Have I lied to others about the size of my deposits or losses at kingmeker.bet?
If you recognise yourself in several of these statements, especially where money, mental health or relationships are affected, you should consider using the limits and self-exclusion tools on this page and contact an independent support organisation or healthcare professional.
Limits & Tools
kingmeker.bet provides a range of tools to help you stay in control. These tools are available to UK players even though kingmeker.bet is licensed in Curaçao rather than the UK. You should combine them with your own financial discipline and, where appropriate, with external blocking tools and bank-level gambling blocks.
Deposit Limits (Daily, Weekly, Monthly)
Deposit limits restrict how much you can add to your account within a chosen period. Once set, the system will prevent you from depositing above the limit. To set or adjust deposit limits on kingmeker.bet:
- Log in to your kingmeker.bet account (Kingmaker profile).
- Open the "My Account" or profile section from the main menu.
- Go to "Responsible Gaming" (sometimes named "Responsible Gambling" or similar).
- Select "Deposit Limits".
- Choose the period you want to control:
- Daily limit - maximum you can deposit in any 24-hour period (e.g. £50 per day).
- Weekly limit - maximum across Monday-Sunday or any seven-day period (e.g. £150 per week).
- Monthly limit - maximum per calendar month (e.g. £300 per month).
- Enter the limit amount in GBP (£)
- Check the on-screen confirmation message or email to ensure the new limit is active.
Important: Lowering your deposit limits normally takes effect immediately or as soon as technically possible. Any request to increase or remove a limit may only be applied after a cooling-off period (for example 24 hours or longer, depending on internal policy) and may require you to confirm the change again. This delay is designed to protect you from impulsive decisions.
Session Time Limits and Reality Checks
Time controls help you manage how long you spend on kingmeker.bet in a single session:
- Session timers: In the "Responsible Gaming" area, you may set a maximum session length (for example 60 or 120 minutes). When this time is reached, you will be logged out or prompted to take a break before continuing.
- Reality check pop-ups: Periodic messages can remind you how long you have been playing and your net result within the current session. These notifications encourage you to reflect on whether to continue or stop.
You can usually activate these features in your account under "Responsible Gaming" or via in-game settings where available.
Short-Term Breaks ("Time-Out")
If you feel that limits are not enough, a short break from gambling can be very effective. A "Time-Out" is a self-imposed pause for a defined period during which you cannot place bets or access the casino lobby.
- Log in to your kingmeker.bet account.
- Go to "My Account" > "Responsible Gaming" > "Time-Out" (or similar wording).
- Select the duration of your break, for example:
- 24 hours;
- 48 hours;
- 72 hours;
- Up to a few weeks, if offered.
- Read the explanation of the consequences (temporary suspension of play) and confirm the Time-Out.
During a Time-Out you should not be able to place bets or access real-money games. Use this period to reassess your gambling behaviour and, if needed, seek professional advice. For longer breaks starting from 6 months, you should consider full self-exclusion (see below).
Self-Exclusion
Self-exclusion is a stronger protective measure for players who feel their gambling is becoming harmful or out of control. It involves blocking access to your account on kingmeker.bet for a minimum period. Unlike a short Time-Out, self-exclusion is intended as a long-term decision. Because kingmeker.bet (Kingmaker) is not connected to UK GamStop, self-exclusion here will only apply to this website and other brands in the same group as defined in the Terms and Conditions, not to all UK operators.
How to Request Self-Exclusion on kingmeker.bet
- Log in to your kingmeker.bet account if you still have access. If you cannot log in, proceed directly to step 5.
- Navigate to "My Account" > "Responsible Gaming" > "Self-Exclusion" (or equivalent menu item).
- Select the desired self-exclusion period. Typical options may include:
- 6 months (minimum recommended for serious concerns);
- 1 year;
- 2-5 years;
- Lifetime / indefinite exclusion.
- Carefully read the explanation of the consequences (account access, use of balance, marketing communications) and confirm your decision. You may be asked to tick a box acknowledging that this is a firm and binding request.
- If you cannot access the self-exclusion tools online, contact customer support via:
- Email: [email protected] or, for complaints, [email protected];
- Live chat: accessible from the website interface, where available.
Consequences of Self-Exclusion
- Access to your account: Once self-exclusion is applied, you should not be able to log in, deposit funds or place bets on kingmeker.bet for the duration of the exclusion.
- Existing balances: If, at the time self-exclusion is applied, you have a positive real-money balance, you may request a withdrawal by contacting support (subject to standard KYC and AML checks and the site's Terms and Conditions). You will not be able to continue playing with that balance.
- Bonuses and promotions: Any active bonuses or promotional offers may be cancelled in line with the bonus terms. Self-exclusion does not entitle you to refunds of past losses.
- Marketing communications: kingmeker.bet should take reasonable steps to stop sending you direct marketing during your self-exclusion period. You may still see generic advertising online which is outside the control of the operator.
- Reactivation after the period: At the end of a fixed self-exclusion period (for example 6 or 12 months), the account will not automatically become fully available in all cases. You may be required to contact support and undergo a cooling-off period before any re-opening is considered. For lifetime exclusions, reactivation requests may be refused.
Note for UK players: Because kingmeker.bet is not part of GamStop and is not regulated by the UKGC, registering with GamStop will not automatically self-exclude you from this website. If you have registered with GamStop, you should additionally use site-level self-exclusion, device blocking software and strict personal controls.

You must use site-level self-exclusion and blocking tools as well. - Spain - RGIAJ / General Directorate for the Regulation of Gambling

Family and Affected Others
Family members and friends affected by someone's gambling can also access help:

- GamAnon (Gamblers Anonymous Family Groups) - support meetings for relatives and partners of people with gambling problems (see gamblersanonymous.org for regional information).
Confidentiality: The organisations listed above operate independently from kingmeker.bet and generally provide confidential support. They will not share your information with the casino or other third parties without your consent, except where required by law or where there is a serious risk of harm.
Help for Family
Problem gambling can have a serious impact on partners, children, parents and friends. If you are worried about someone who plays on kingmeker.bet or any other gambling site, it is important to protect your own wellbeing while encouraging them to seek help.
How to Talk to Someone About Their Gambling
- Prepare yourself: Choose a calm moment when neither of you is angry, stressed or under the influence of alcohol. Plan what you want to say in advance.
- Use non-judgmental language: Focus on your feelings and observations ("I feel worried when...", "I've noticed that...") instead of accusations ("You always...", "You never...").
- Be specific: Mention concrete examples - missed bills, changes in mood, secrecy about kingmeker.bet activity - rather than general criticism.
- Listen actively: Allow the person to speak without interruption. Denial is common; avoid arguing over details and instead return to your concern for their wellbeing.
- Set boundaries: Make clear what you can and cannot do (for example, not lending more money, not lying to cover their debts) while still offering emotional support.
Getting Them Engaged in Support
- Share information: Show them this responsible gaming page and the independent organisations listed above (GamCare, Gambling Therapy, Gamblers Anonymous).
- Offer to help with first contact: You can sit with them while they call a helpline, join an online chat or attend a local meeting.
- Encourage professional assessment: Suggest they speak to their GP or a mental health professional about possible gambling disorder and related issues such as anxiety or depression.
- Respect their pace, protect yourself: Change may be slow. While supporting them, take care of your own financial and emotional safety, and seek independent help for yourself if needed.
Support for Family Members
- Online forums and chats: GamCare's forum and similar platforms provide spaces where families can share experiences and coping strategies.
- Family support groups: GamAnon and other peer-support groups run regular meetings (in-person or online) for partners and relatives of people with gambling issues.
- Professional counselling: Consider contacting a psychotherapist, counsellor or GP to discuss how the gambling problem is affecting you and to develop a personal support plan.
Operator's Commitment
Kingmaker on kingmeker.bet is operated by Rabidi N.V., a company registered in Curaçao with a remote gambling licence (number 8048/JAZ) issued by Antillephone N.V.. Although this is a Curaçao licence and not an authorisation from the UK Gambling Commission, the operator applies internal procedures aligned with international responsible gambling standards, using the Soft2Bet platform and its centralised risk-management tools.
Internal Monitoring and Risk Checks
- Behaviour analysis: The system may monitor indicators such as frequent deposits within a short period, rapidly increasing stakes, long continuous sessions, multiple cancelled withdrawals or repeated failed deposit attempts. These patterns can suggest a risk of problematic gambling.
- Automated alerts and warnings: Where unusual or high-risk behaviour is detected, automated messages or on-site pop-ups may remind you of available limits, suggest a break or recommend contacting support.
- Manual review: The responsible gaming and risk teams may manually review accounts showing serious concern, taking into account activity history, communication with support and any affordability information you provide.
- Protective actions: Depending on the assessment, the operator may impose or propose measures such as lower deposit limits, temporary suspension, self-exclusion or cancellation of marketing communications, even without a direct request from you.
When Support May Contact You
- Significant risk patterns: If your play on kingmeker.bet appears to show clear markers of harm (for example, very large or frequent deposits, intensive overnight play, or repeated chasing of losses), the support team may contact you via email, on-site message or live chat to discuss your situation and suggest limits or exclusion.
- Responsible gaming concerns raised by you: If you contact support mentioning stress, loss of control, financial difficulty or similar concerns, staff are instructed to prioritise your safety, provide information on tools and, where appropriate, help you activate self-exclusion.
- Compliance checks: As part of KYC/AML and licence obligations in Curaçao, you may be asked for documents or information regarding your identity, payment methods and, in some cases, affordability.
Important limitations: Internal monitoring is not a substitute for your own responsibility to play safely. kingmeker.bet is not supervised by the UKGC and does not offer access to UK-approved Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) bodies such as IBAS. Disputes are handled first through internal complaints (via [email protected]) and may then be escalated to the Curaçao licensing authority as described in the site's Terms and Conditions.

- Email communication: If you have an active account and have not opted out of service communications, you may receive emails summarising significant updates to responsible gaming tools or terms.
- Policy documents: The most current version of this responsible gaming information and related sections of the Terms and Conditions will always be available on kingmeker.bet. You should review them regularly, especially before making deposits or placing bets.
Date of last update: 6 November 2025. Information on licensing, tools and external organisations is accurate to the best of our knowledge as of 2025, but may change. This page does not constitute legal, financial or medical advice; for personalised guidance, consult a qualified professional.
