Andar Bahar responsible play: limits and helplines

If a session stops being entertainment, the first step is to set a deposit limit and a time limit inside the verified app. The second step is to contact one of the helplines listed below. Verify each number before relying on it; helplines change.

The verified app exposes a deposit limit and a time limit inside the wallet screen. The deposit limit caps the total amount that can be deposited in a published window; the time limit caps the total time that can be spent in a single session.

The verified app exposes a self-exclusion toggle inside the wallet screen. Self-exclusion blocks sign-in for a published window (typically 7 days, 30 days, 90 days or permanent). The editorial recommendation is to use the longest window that fits the situation.

The self-exclusion toggle blocks sign-in for a published window. The window is typically 7 days, 30 days, 90 days or permanent.
