Virtual Global Digital Services Limited (the "Company") is dedicated to providing its members with a responsible gaming environment. Not only is it our mission to provide our members with the most entertaining gambling experience but it is also our duty to help prevent compulsive usage of and underage access to our gaming products.
As a responsible, regulated gaming company, we comply with all guidelines published by eCOGRA. eCOGRA ensures that approved gaming offerings are properly and transparently monitored to provide player protection.
We have implemented the following company policies and tools:
In line with the Gibraltar’s Gambling Act 2005 and its regulations, the Company does not allow anyone under the age of 18 to play its casino or poker games. It is an offense for minors to participate in gambling activity.
Our casino and poker room are not designed to attract children or adolescents. We actively discourage and track persons under the age of 18 who attempt to play at our websites. We use sophisticated verification systems which can identify minors who log in to our software.
Those under the age of 18 must not gamble even if such person is in the company of an adult.
Nevertheless, we recognise that the internet is readily accessible in many homes around the world. As a result, gaming companies and parents must work together to protect children from underage gambling. To ensure the safety of your children, we recommend installing filtering software to block minors from accessing certain websites and programmes.
Below are links to some such providers and software:
Cyber Patrol
GamBlock
Net Nanny
Gamban
Tips for parents:
Unfortunately, no system is foolproof. If you know a person under the age of 18 who is registered with us, please notify our Operations Department at operations@888brands.net.
The Company recognises that while most people gamble for entertainment, a small number of people can become obsessed with the potential monetary gains our games offer. Even though studies suggest that only a very small percentage of the adult population encounters compulsive gambling problems we take this matter exceedingly seriously and have accordingly implemented a number of measures to address this problem:
Remember
Like many things, what is enjoyable in moderation can be disastrous in excess.

Simply contact our Member Support Team via live chat and a representative will help you set your limits. You can also set your own deposit limits and request to adjust them at any time online through the cashier.
The deposit limit which you set on this website only applies to the account with this website and not to any other website owned or operated by us. Should you have more than one account operated by us, your deposit limit can be implemented across all of your accounts. If you wish to do so, please contact our Member Support Team via live chat.

If you choose to turn off the ability to reverse pending withdrawal requests, you will no longer be able to reverse any of your current or future pending withdrawal requests.
If you choose to turn on this ability again, it will not take effect for 7 days. You will only have the option to reverse withdrawals after this period by contacting our Member Support Team via live chat.

During a "Take a Break" period we will suspend your account on the specific requested brand only. New accounts you might attempt to open on the brand that you have "Taken a Break" from during the break period may also be suspended to the extent detected by us. You can request a "Take a Break" period by contacting our Member Support Team via live chat or by clicking here.

Should you choose to self-exclude from the websites operated by us, we shall terminate your account(s) to the extent detected by us, in accordance with the provisions of the User Agreement and the applicable regulation.
During a self-exclusion period, the suspended access will be enforced and irrevocable. After the self-exclusion period has ended, return from self-exclusion can be initiated by accessing the account and following the instructions to return. Additionally, self-exclusion can be extended following the same steps.
You have the option to self-exclude, to the extent detected by us, from all of the websites operated by us which can be found here, by contacting our Member Support Team via live chat.
We urge you to contact our Member Support Team to ensure that the relevant accounts with us are suspended and to consider self-excluding from any online gaming operators with which you have an account.

In the event you are in breach of the foregoing, we shall be entitled to block any new account you open with another website operated by us, forfeit any funds therein, and we shall not be liable to refund to you any funds you may have wagered or won through such account.
Please note that your request to self-exclude may take up to 72 hours.
