At Gambiva, we strongly believe that gambling is meant to be recreational and should remain enjoyable, controlled, and safe for all users. Our commitment is to provide a responsible gambling environment that prioritizes player wellbeing, awareness, and protection.
This page explains how to gamble responsibly, highlights the risks of excessive gambling, and outlines the tools and support options available to help players stay in control of their gambling activity.
Gambling As Entertainment Only
Gambling on the Gambiva website is intended solely for entertainment purposes. It should never be considered a way to earn money, replace employment, or support daily living expenses. While wins may occur, outcomes are always based on chance, and losses are a natural part of gambling activity.
Players are encouraged to view gambling as a leisure activity, similar to other forms of paid entertainment. Treating gambling responsibly helps maintain a positive experience and prevents harmful behaviors from developing over time.
Awareness Of Gambling Risks
Excessive or uncontrolled gambling can lead to financial, emotional, and social difficulties. Gambiva is committed to informing players about the potential risks associated with compulsive gambling behavior. Recognizing early warning signs is essential to preventing harm.
Some risks of problem gambling include loss of control over spending or time, gambling to escape stress or negative emotions, chasing losses with additional bets, and neglecting personal, family, or work responsibilities.
We strongly encourage players to remain aware of their habits and seek help if gambling stops being enjoyable.
Protection Of Minors
Preventing underage gambling is one of the most important responsibilities of Gambiva. Gambling is strictly prohibited for individuals under the age of 18, or any higher minimum age required by the laws of the player’s jurisdiction.
By registering on the website and creating an account, each user confirms that they meet the legal age requirement for gambling. Gambiva reserves the right to verify a player’s age at any time and may suspend or restrict accounts until valid proof of age is provided.
If a player is found to be underage, the account will be closed, any winnings will be forfeited, and the case may be reported to relevant authorities if required. Using stolen or false identity details to access the platform is strictly prohibited.
Protecting Children At Home
Players who live with minors are encouraged to take additional steps to prevent unauthorized access to gambling content. Recommended measures include installing filtering or parental control software such as NetNanny or CyberPatrol, using gambling blocking software like BetBlocker or GamBan, never saving login credentials on shared devices, restricting access to financial and identity documents, and supervising device usage when minors are present.
These precautions help ensure that gambling remains inaccessible to underage individuals.
Responsible Gambling Principles
To help maintain control over gambling activity, Gambiva encourages players to follow responsible gambling principles. Players should never borrow money to gamble, should gamble only with money they can afford to lose, and should decide on a loss budget before playing and adhere to it.
Players are also advised to keep track of time and spending, avoid gambling when stressed, depressed, intoxicated, or emotionally distressed, and not attempt to recover losses by placing additional bets. Taking regular breaks, balancing gambling with other leisure activities, using available control tools, and seeking support when needed are strongly encouraged.
Self Assessment Questions
If you are unsure whether gambling is becoming a problem, consider answering the following questions honestly.
Do you skip work, school, or responsibilities to gamble
Have you neglected family or personal wellbeing because of gambling
Have you borrowed money or sold belongings to continue gambling
Have you lied about how much time or money you spend gambling
Do you feel an urge to immediately recover losses after losing
Answering yes to one or more of these questions may indicate a potential gambling issue. In such cases, we strongly recommend seeking professional help.

Responsible Gambling Tools Available
Gambiva provides several self protection tools designed to help players control their gambling activity.
Self exclusion allows players to restrict access to their account for a chosen period or indefinitely. During self exclusion, the account cannot be accessed, deposits and betting are blocked, withdrawals are disabled, and marketing communications are stopped.
A cool down period allows players to temporarily pause gambling activity for a short duration ranging from 1 hour to 48 hours. During this time, login and withdrawals are allowed, but deposits and gameplay are disabled.
Players can set deposit limits for a period between 24 hours and one week. Once set, limits cannot be increased during the active period but can be reduced at any time.
Betting limits allow players to control the size of individual bets during a selected time frame, helping manage risk and spending behavior.
Loss limits define the maximum amount a player is willing to lose over a certain period, helping prevent excessive losses.
Time session limits allow players to restrict the duration of gambling sessions to maintain balance.
Players can also review their full gambling history, including transactions, deposits, and withdrawals, to improve awareness and control.
Seeking External Help
In addition to Gambiva’s internal tools, players are encouraged to seek professional support if gambling becomes problematic. Organizations such as Gamblers Anonymous and Gambling Therapy offer confidential counseling and assistance.
How To Request Self Exclusion
To activate self exclusion, players must contact Gambiva support via email at support@gambiva.com. Requests must be submitted by email. Self exclusion requests made through live chat will not be processed, although support agents may guide players to use the correct email process.
The confirmation email will include the start date, selected duration, and account status. Temporary self exclusion has a minimum duration of 1 day. Accounts cannot be reactivated until the selected period ends. Indefinite self exclusion has no set end date, and account reactivation may be refused at Gambiva’s discretion.
Players may also choose self exclusion through the Curacao eGaming self exclusion system, with a minimum exclusion period of 6 months.
Before requesting self exclusion, players should settle all active bets and withdraw any remaining balances.
Final Commitment To Player Safety
Gambiva is committed to maintaining a safe, transparent, and responsible gambling environment. If gambling stops being enjoyable and begins to negatively affect daily life, players are strongly encouraged to take action using the tools and support options available.
Gambling should always remain a form of entertainment and never a source of harm.
