a9pay's Commitment to Responsible Gaming

At a9pay, we believe that online gaming should be a source of enjoyable entertainment — not stress, financial hardship or conflict in personal relationships. Our commitment to responsible gaming is not just a slogan; it is embedded in how we design our platform, enforce our policies and educate our users.

We understand that a small number of users may struggle to control their gaming habits. That is why we provide a range of practical tools, clear information and easily accessible support channels — so that you or someone you care about can get help whenever it is needed.

Responsible gaming is a shared commitment between the platform and its users. a9pay will continue investing in technology and programs that support our users' well-being, because your safety is the foundation of the trust that builds a lasting relationship between us.

Recognise the Early Warning Signs

Gambling problems often develop gradually. Recognising the early signs is the most important first step to regaining control. Here are some warning signs to watch out for:

Signs	Example Scenarios	Level
Playing longer than planned	Planned to play for 30 minutes but ended up playing for 3 hours	Light
Borrowing money to gamble	Borrowing from family or friends to make a deposit	Serious
Frequently thinking about gaming while at work	Difficulty concentrating on daily tasks	Moderate
Playing to escape from problems	Using gaming as an escape from stress	Moderate
Hiding gaming activity	Lying to family members about how much money was spent	Serious
Chasing losses with larger bets	Increasing the wagering amount after consecutive losses	Serious
Feeling restless when not playing	Feeling uncomfortable or irritable when unable to access the platform	Moderate

Important: If you recognise two or more of the signs above in yourself, we encourage you to use the self-break tool or contact our support team immediately. There is no shame in asking for help.

Quick Self-Assessment

Answer the following questions honestly. If your answer is "Yes" to three or more questions, we recommend speaking with our support advisor.

1

Have you ever felt the need to bet with more money to get the same level of excitement?

2

Have you ever tried to stop or reduce your gambling but failed to do so?

3

Has gambling caused problems in your relationships with family or friends?

4

Have you ever used money meant for basic needs (rent, bills, food) to gamble?

5

Do you feel stressed, guilty or anxious after a long gaming session?

6

Have you ever hidden your gambling activity from people close to you?

This assessment is not a medical diagnosis. It is simply an initial guide to help you evaluate your own gaming habits.

How to Use the Self-Control Tools on a9pay

All self-control tools are accessible directly through your account settings. Here's how to activate them:

Deposit Limit — Log in to your account, go to Settings > Game Controls > Deposit Limits. Select the period (daily/weekly/monthly) and set your maximum amount.
Play Time Limit — In the same section, enable Time Limits and set your maximum session duration in hours or minutes.
Self-Exclusion — Select Self-Exclusion and choose your period — 24 hours, 48 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. Your account will be blocked immediately.
Self-Exclusion — For long-term exclusion, contact our customer support via live chat. Requests will be processed within 24 hours and cannot be reversed.
Check History — Access your full game report via Account > Transaction History for a complete overview of your activity.

Remember: Deposit limits can only lowered immediately. To increase a limit, a mandatory 7-day waiting period applies — a protective measure we put in place for your benefit.

Five Principles of Playing Smart

Before you start any gaming session, we encourage you to always keep these five core principles in mind:

Set a budget before you play — Decide how much money you are comfortable losing without it affecting your daily finances. Treat it as an entertainment cost, not an investment.
Do not chase losses — Losses are part of gaming. Doubling your bets to "win back" money is one of the most dangerous traps in gambling.
Set a time limit — Time passes quickly during play. Use your phone's timer or the platform's time limit tool so you know when to stop.
Do not play when stressed — Gaming is not a solution to emotional or financial problems. Playing under high stress often leads to poor decisions.
Take regular breaks — Get up, move around, and spend time on other activities. Balancing gaming with daily life is key to long-term well-being.

Our Goal: We want you to still be smiling after a gaming session — whether you win or lose. If gaming has started to feel like a burden, that is a sign to stop and talk to someone you trust.

FAQ – Responsible Gaming

Log in to your a9pay account and navigate to Account Settings, then select the Game Controls section. There you will find options to set daily, weekly or monthly deposit limits. Limits that are lowered take effect immediately, while limits that are raised require a 7-day waiting period as an added safeguard.

Self-Exclusion is a temporary suspension lasting 24 hours to 30 days — ideal for users who need a short break. Your account remains active and can be reactivated once the period ends. Full Exclusion, on the other hand, is a long-term commitment of 6 months to 5 years, during which your account is fully blocked and cannot be reopened while the period is active, even if you request it.

No. Self-exclusion is a binding commitment and cannot be cancelled during the active period. This is a deliberate protective measure we designed to help users who are serious about taking a break from gaming. Once the period ends, you will need to actively contact our support team to reactivate your account — a process that also involves an additional waiting period.

The first step is acknowledging that you need help — and that takes courage. Immediately activate Self-Exclusion through your account or contact our support team for assistance. We also encourage you to speak with a trusted family member or consult a professional counsellor. a9pay is committed to supporting you at every step of the recovery process.

Not at all. a9pay has a zero-tolerance policy for access by individuals under 18. Our KYC process requires valid identification document verification, and any account found to be owned by a minor will be terminated immediately with all funds returned. If you suspect someone underage is using our platform, please report it to our support team right away.
