International Gaming Database (IGD) is dedicated to promoting operational transparency. Part of this transparency includes ensuring that users are aware of the risks involved in online gaming and the tools available to mitigate those risks.
Framework for Controlled Participation
- Capital Management: Only utilize funds categorized as discretionary income.
- Time Auditing: Use "Reality Check" timers to monitor session duration.
- Loss Logic: Acknowledge that losses are a statistical part of the system; do not attempt to "recover" them.
- State of Mind: Avoid activity during periods of high stress, fatigue, or intoxication.
Identifying Potential Issues
Systemic issues often begin with small behavioral shifts. Licensed operators like AK Bets Limited (65961) are trained to spot these through automated pattern analysis, but personal awareness is the first line of defense:
- Is gaming interfering with professional or academic obligations?
- Are you utilizing credit or borrowed funds for participation?
- Has the duration of your sessions increased significantly over the last 30 days?
- Are you concealing the extent of your activity from family or peers?
Strict Age Verification (18+)
Underage participation is a serious criminal offence. We support the robust "Know Your Customer" (KYC) frameworks implemented by AK Bets and all UKGC-licensed platforms to ensure zero tolerance for underage access.
