Responsible Gambling

Last updated: February 14, 2026

At Knockout.Game, we are committed to providing a safe and enjoyable gaming experience. We believe that gambling should be a form of entertainment, not a way to make money or escape problems. We encourage all our users to play responsibly and to seek help if gambling stops being fun.

Our Commitment

We take responsible gambling seriously and have implemented various measures to help protect our users:

  • Age verification to prevent underage gambling.
  • Ghost Mode (free play) for users who want to enjoy tournaments without financial risk.
  • Account activity monitoring to identify potentially problematic behavior.
  • Self-exclusion options for users who need a break.
  • Clear display of entry fees and potential prizes before tournament entry.
  • Access to support and resources for problem gambling.

Tips for Responsible Gambling

Follow these guidelines to keep your gaming experience positive:

  • Set a budget: Decide how much you can afford to spend before you start playing, and stick to it.
  • Set time limits: Decide in advance how much time you will spend on the Platform and take regular breaks.
  • Never chase losses: Accept that losing is part of the game. Do not try to win back money you have lost by playing more.
  • Do not borrow to gamble: Only use funds you can afford to lose. Never borrow money to fund your gaming activity.
  • Balance your activities: Make sure gambling does not become your only form of entertainment or relaxation.
  • Do not gamble when upset: Avoid playing when you are stressed, depressed, or under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
  • Know the rules: Understand how tournaments work and the odds involved before entering.
  • Use Ghost Mode: If you want to enjoy the game without financial risk, use our free-play Ghost Mode feature.

Self-Assessment

Ask yourself the following questions. If you answer "yes" to any of them, it may be time to reconsider your gambling habits or seek professional help.

1.

Do you spend more money on gambling than you can afford to lose?

2.

Do you find it difficult to stop gambling once you have started?

3.

Have you ever lied to family or friends about how much you gamble?

4.

Do you gamble to escape problems or relieve feelings of anxiety, depression, or loneliness?

5.

Have you ever borrowed money or sold possessions to fund gambling?

6.

Do you feel restless or irritable when trying to reduce or stop gambling?

7.

Have you tried to win back money you have lost (chasing losses)?

8.

Has gambling caused problems in your relationships, work, or education?

9.

Do you feel the need to gamble with increasing amounts of money to get the same excitement?

10.

Do you spend a lot of time thinking about gambling, planning your next session, or thinking about ways to get money to gamble?

If you answered "yes" to one or more of these questions, we encourage you to consider the resources listed below or speak with a professional counselor.

Deposit Limits

We offer tools to help you manage your spending:

  • Deposit Limits: Set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits to control how much you can add to your account.
  • Loss Limits: Set limits on how much you are willing to lose within a given period.
  • Session Reminders: Receive notifications when you have been playing for an extended period.

To set up deposit limits or other controls, visit your account settings or contact our support team.

Self-Exclusion

If you feel that you need to take a break from gambling, we offer self-exclusion options:

  • Temporary Exclusion: Take a break for a set period (24 hours, 7 days, 30 days, or 90 days). During this time, you will not be able to enter paid tournaments or make deposits.
  • Permanent Exclusion: Permanently close your account. This action is irreversible and your account cannot be reopened.

To request self-exclusion, contact our support team. Self-exclusion requests are processed promptly and cannot be reversed during the chosen exclusion period.
