Before anything else
Gambling is entertainment that costs money. Over time most people lose, and no bonus changes that. If it has stopped being fun, or you're worried about someone else, the rest of this page is for you. You must be 18 or over to gamble.
Warning signs
- You bet more than you'd planned, or increase your stake to feel the same buzz.
- You try to win back losses with another deposit.
- You've borrowed money, sold things or used savings or rent money to gamble.
- You hide how much you bet from family or friends.
- You feel restless or irritable when you try to stop.
- Work, study, sleep or relationships are suffering.
- A bonus or cashback feels like a reason you have to keep playing.
Even one or two of these is worth taking seriously.
Set limits before you start
- Money: pick a monthly amount you could lose without affecting bills or savings, and don't top it up.
- Time: decide when you'll stop and set an alarm. Long sessions make it harder to judge what you're doing.
- Separate funds: keep gambling crypto in its own wallet with a small balance, so that your main holdings aren't one tap away.
- State of mind: stay away when you're upset, drinking or trying to recover a loss.
- Bonuses: never deposit extra just to reach the next offer or cashback tier.
Taking a break or stopping
If you want to stop on an operator's site, look in your account settings or ask customer support whether deposit limits, time-outs or self-exclusion are available, and get written confirmation. Dexsport's operator is Dexapp LTD, under Anjouan licence ALSI-202508043-FI2; that licence doesn't make it licensed in Singapore. Check its current terms for how it handles these requests.
Self-exclusion works best with some practical back-up. Delete saved logins and apps, install blocking software on your devices, and ask someone you trust to hold you to your decision. Then remove the triggers too, by leaving betting groups and unsubscribing from marketing emails.
Where to get help in Singapore
- National Council on Problem Gambling (NCPG): Singapore's main body for problem gambling, with information and support for gamblers and their families.
- National Addictions Management Service (NAMS): specialist addiction treatment at the Institute of Mental Health.
Please look up their current contact details on their official websites. If you are in immediate danger or thinking about harming yourself, call the emergency services or go to the nearest hospital emergency department straight away.
If it's someone you care about
Pick a calm moment, describe what you've noticed and avoid ultimatums. Don't pay off their debts as a quick fix, since that often keeps the cycle going. Families can seek support in their own right, even when the person gambling isn't ready.
The legal position
Singapore's Gambling Control Act 2022 restricts remote gambling, and Dexsport is not licensed in Singapore. Check what's legal for you before using it. If access is blocked where you are, that block must be respected.
