Self-Exclusion Feature

If you want to step away from gaming for an extended period, apply for self-exclusion for anywhere from 6 months to 5 years. Your account will be completely inactive for the entire duration.

Reality Check

At regular intervals, Sona101 will remind you how long you've been playing. These notifications help keep you aware and in control.

1 What Does Responsible Gaming Mean

Responsible gaming means treating gaming as a healthy form of entertainment and never viewing it as a source of income or a way to cope with emotions. At Sona101, we firmly believe every player should know their limits — and respect them.

Responsible gaming is not just about managing money — it means managing your time, looking after your mental well-being, and maintaining your relationships with family and friends. When gaming starts to disrupt that balance, it is time to step back.

Sona101 is committed to keeping every player safe. Our platform offers dedicated tools, safeguards, and support systems for responsible gaming. We want every gaming experience to be a positive one.

Gaming on Sona101 is entertainment, not an obligation. You can take a break at any time — there is no shame in that.

2 Signs of Gaming Addiction

Gaming addiction often develops gradually and can be difficult to recognise on your own. Watch out for the following signs:

  • Chasing losses by placing increasingly larger bets to win back lost money.
  • Thinking about stopping but being unable to quit.
  • Neglecting family, work, or studies because of gaming.
  • Borrowing money or selling assets to fund gaming.
  • Lying to family or friends about your gaming habits.
  • Feeling restless or irritable when unable to play.
  • Turning to gaming to cope with stress or sadness.
  • Prioritising gaming over everyday responsibilities.

If you recognize three or more of the above signs in yourself, contact our support team immediately or use the self-exclusion feature.

3 Effective Tips for Safe Gaming

Follow the tips below to enjoy safe and sustainable gaming on Sona101 for the long term:

  • Set a budget before you start playing — only wager what you can afford to lose.
  • Take regular breaks instead of playing for long stretches at a time.
  • Winning is never guaranteed — always keep that in mind when you play.
  • Avoid gaming under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
  • Keep gaming as a leisure activity only.
  • Use Sona101's betting limit and deposit limit tools.
  • If you are facing financial difficulties, take a temporary break from gaming.
  • Have an open, honest conversation with your family about your gaming habits.

Remember — gaming does not guarantee winnings. Always bet only what you can afford to lose.
