Betting and casino games are meant to be entertainment, not a source of income. 1King's approach to responsible gaming is built around that idea. This page covers the age requirement, how to set limits, third-party tools you can use independently, and general guidance on keeping play in check.
None of this replaces professional support if gambling starts to feel like a problem. The resources further down this page are a starting point, not a substitute for that.
Age Requirement
You need to be 18 or older to hold a 1King account. This is a hard requirement, not a recommendation. It applies across the entire platform, both sportsbook and casino.
Setting Limits on Your Account
Say you want to set a deposit limit, take a break, or exclude yourself from 1 King for a period of time. There's no self-service toggle for this inside your account settings. Instead, you contact customer support directly, and the team applies the limit or exclusion for you.
This works a little differently from platforms where you set a limit yourself in a few clicks. The outcome is the same — once support applies it, the restriction is in place on your account.
- Reach out to 1King support through email or the Support button.
- Explain the limit or exclusion you want — a deposit cap, a temporary break, or a longer self-exclusion.
- Support applies the restriction to your account directly.
Reach out early, before betting feels like a habit rather than a choice. That makes this process more useful than waiting until it feels urgent.
Third-Party Tools
Maybe you'd prefer a tool that works independently of 1King itself. A couple of options can help block access to gambling sites at the device level rather than the account level:
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
| betblocker.org | Blocks access to gambling sites across your devices |
| gamban.com | Device-level blocking software for gambling platforms |
Both work outside of any single betting site. They stay in place even if you register on a different platform later. They're worth considering if you want a barrier that doesn't rely on willpower alone.
Checking In With Yourself
If you're unsure whether your gambling habits are worth a closer look, gamblersanonymous.org offers a self-assessment questionnaire. It's a short set of questions designed to highlight patterns you might not notice day to day. It doesn't require registering an account anywhere to use it.
A few general signs are worth watching on your own, even without a formal questionnaire. Betting more than you planned to is one. Chasing losses with bigger bets is another. Feeling like betting is a way to fix a bad financial situation, rather than a form of entertainment, is a third. Any of these are a reasonable prompt to set a limit or step back for a while.
General Guidance for Safer Play
A few habits go a long way toward keeping betting and casino play in the entertainment category:
- Decide on a budget before you start playing, and treat it as the amount you're comfortable not seeing again.
- Set a time limit for a session, separate from a money limit — both matter.
- Avoid chasing losses by increasing your stake to try to win back what's gone.
- Take breaks between sessions rather than playing continuously over long stretches.
- Treat wins as a bonus rather than an expectation for the next session.
None of these habits require special tools or account settings. They're just a practical mindset to bring to any betting or casino session, on 1King or elsewhere.
Getting Help
If you want to set a limit on your 1 King account, support is the direct route:
- Email — [email protected], to request a deposit limit, break, or self-exclusion.
- Support button — available in the main site navigation.
Outside of 1King, betblocker.org, gamban.com, and gamblersanonymous.org remain available independently. They work any time, regardless of which platform you've been playing on.
