Sports Betting and casino are entertainment. 98bet provides real tools to help you stay in control, set your limits, and enjoy the platform safely — always within what's healthy for you.
If you feel that betting is affecting your finances, your relationships, or your mental health, now is the time to act. 98bet support is available 24 hours a day. Reach out via live chat or email contato@98bet.express.
All of 98bet's responsible gambling tools are free, accessible directly from your account, and take effect immediately. No red tape, no delays.
Set a maximum amount that can be deposited into your 98bet account per day, week, or month. Once configured, the limit can only be increased after a waiting period — so you don't make impulsive decisions in the heat of the moment.
Set the maximum amount you're willing to lose within a given period. Once that limit is reached, 98bet automatically blocks new bets until the next period begins. Simple and effective.
Set a maximum session time on the platform. When the time is up, 98bet will display a warning and may end the session automatically — useful for anyone who tends to lose track of time while betting.
Need a break? Activate a temporary pause of 24 hours, 7 days, 30 days, or a custom period. While the pause is active, your 98bet account becomes inactive and you will not be able to make deposits or place bets.
If you need a permanent break, self-exclusion closes your 98bet account for good. This action cannot be reversed during the selected period (minimum 6 months). Activated through 24h support.
Disable promotional emails and notifications from 98bet at any time. You'll keep full access to your account, just without the extra nudges to bet. Configurable directly in your account preferences.
Every responsible gambling tool is available in your account settings. Here's a step-by-step guide to the main ones.
Go to your account settings, select "Responsible Gambling," and set the maximum amount per period.
Use it when you need a break without closing your account. Quick to activate, immediate in effect.

Betting becomes a problem when it stops being entertainment and starts interfering with important areas of your life. Recognizing the signs early makes all the difference. Here are the most common ones:
Using money set aside for rent, food, bills, or any basic necessity to place bets is a clear sign that a line has been crossed.
Increasing your bets right after a loss in an attempt to "win back what you lost" is called chasing losses — and it's one of the most common risky behaviors in gambling.
Hiding the real amount you've wagered from people close to you, or downplaying your losses to yourself, is a sign that your relationship with betting is becoming problematic.
If not being able to bet causes significant emotional discomfort — anxiety, irritability, or restlessness — that deserves serious attention.
When betting starts interfering with your relationships, your work performance, or your studies, it's time to step back and seek support.
Betting mindfully makes the whole experience better. Here are simple habits that make a real difference day to day:
Decide how much you're willing to spend before you open the platform. Once that amount is gone, end the session — regardless of the outcome.
Sports Betting is entertainment — like going to the movies or subscribing to a streaming service. Never use betting as a way to supplement your income or pay off debts.
Use 98bet's session limit. It's easy to lose track of time during a thrilling Libertadores match or a run of crash games.
Losses are part of the game. Increasing your bets to try to recover them almost always leads to even bigger losses. End the session and come back another day.
98bet was built on a clear conviction: Sports Betting and casino games are entertainment, and entertainment should be healthy. From day one of operations, responsible gambling was never treated as a legal obligation or a set of footer pages — it was embedded as a core part of the product, with functional tools and a support team trained to handle the subject seriously and without judgment.
The sports betting market in Brazil has grown at a remarkable pace. Today, millions of Brazilians follow the Brasileirão, Copa do Brasil, Libertadores, UFC, and other sports while placing bets on online platforms. For most people, it's a natural part of the game-day experience — much like buying a ticket or chipping in on a group bet. However, a smaller share of people can develop an unhealthy relationship with betting, and 98bet takes that reality seriously.
Responsible gambling isn't about not betting — it's about betting within your actual means. It means knowing how much you can spend on entertainment without hurting your finances, your relationships, or your mental health. It means understanding the risks, recognizing that odds and probabilities always favor the house in the long run, and treating every bet as a conscious decision, not a compulsion.
For 98bet, responsible gambling means putting the right tools directly in users' hands so they can stay in control. The deposit limit prevents you from spending more than you planned within a given period. The loss limit automatically blocks new bets once you hit a threshold you set with a clear head. A voluntary break gives you time away without having to explain yourself to anyone. And permanent self-exclusion is a real option for those who need to stop altogether.
Tools matter, but people make the real difference. The 98bet support team is specifically trained to spot situations that may indicate problematic behavior — such as users trying to work around limits they set themselves, or reaching out in distress over recent losses. In these cases, support goes beyond the technical: the team guides users through the available responsible gambling tools and can activate breaks or blocks immediately upon request.
Live chat is available 24 hours a day, including late at night — which is exactly when UFC cards, final crash game rounds, and other events that can lead to impulsive betting take place. The team speaks Brazilian Portuguese, understands the local context, and is ready to help without judgment.
98bet has a zero-tolerance policy toward anyone under 18. Registration requires a valid CPF, and the system runs automatic checks to flag registrations that are inconsistent with legal age. Additionally, the KYC (identity verification) process can be triggered at any time, requiring documents that confirm the user's age before deposits or withdrawals are released.
Accounts identified as belonging to users under 18 are closed immediately, balances are held in accordance with applicable law, and the situation is documented and reported when required. If you are the guardian of a minor and suspect they have created a 98bet account, contact support immediately at contato@98bet.express.
Beyond the manual tools users can activate themselves, 98bet uses automated behavioral monitoring systems. The system analyzes usage patterns — such as betting frequency, sudden spikes in wager amounts, repeated deposit attempts after significant losses, and other indicators — to identify users who may be at risk.
When these patterns are detected, 98bet may proactively reach out with responsible gambling information, suggest control tools, or contact the user directly through the support channel. This monitoring is not intrusive — it reflects 98bet's genuine commitment to looking after its users, not just the revenue they generate.
An important part of responsible gambling is understanding how betting works mathematically. In Sports Betting, odds always include a margin for the platform — known as the overround or hold. This means that, over the long run, the house always holds a statistical edge over any individual bettor. That's not dishonesty — it's the mathematical structure of the business, and every regulated platform operates this way.
In casino games — slots, crash games like those available on 98bet, jackpots, and Live Casino — there is a concept called RTP (Return to Player), which represents the average percentage the game returns to players over time. An RTP of 96% means that, on average, for every R$100.00 wagered, the game returns R$96.00 — and the platform keeps R$4.00. Individual results vary widely in practice, but the long-term trend always favors the house.
Understanding this doesn't mean betting is wrong — it means you should only bet with money you can comfortably afford to lose, treating it as the cost of entertainment rather than an investment with an expected return.
Create your account with limits set from day one. Brasileirão, Copa do Brasil, Libertadores, UFC, crash games, and Live Casino — all with the responsible gambling tools you need to enjoy it worry-free.
