At a6stra, the enjoyment of gaming should go hand in hand with good self-control. We provide the tools, resources, and support you need to ensure your gaming experience stays fun — not overwhelming.
Online gaming is for entertainment only. Never bet more than you can afford to lose. If you or someone you know is struggling with a gambling problem, please seek help immediately. You are not alone.
A6stra believes every player deserves a safe, balanced, and pressure-free gaming experience. We are more than just a gaming platform — we are a partner who genuinely cares about your overall well-being.
Responsible gaming means you play for fun, not to solve financial problems or escape life's pressures. It means setting clear limits before you start playing and sticking to them — not because you have to, but because you understand the true value of self-control.
Statistics show that the majority of players enjoy online gaming as a fun leisure activity without any issues. However, a small number of individuals may find it difficult to control their gaming habits. For them, a6stra is here — with easily accessible control tools, a sensitive support team, and helpful information free of any judgement.
Remember: If gaming no longer feels enjoyable, that's a sign to take a break. Use our self-control tools or contact the a6stra support team at any time — we're here to help, no questions asked.
A6stra provides a range of control tools accessible directly from your account — designed to help you stay in control at all times
Set a limit on the total amount you can deposit over a daily, weekly, or monthly period. Once a limit is set, the a6stra system will automatically block any deposit that exceeds it — giving you peace of mind without having to remember manually.
Set a maximum duration for each gaming session. When your set time is nearly up, a6stra will send a gentle reminder so you stay aware and can make an informed decision on whether to take a break or continue within a new limit.
If you feel you need a short break from gaming, use the Cooling-Off feature to block access to your account for 24 hours, 72 hours, or one week. This period cannot be cancelled early — it is your commitment to yourself to take your break seriously.
For those who need a longer break, the Self-Exclusion feature allows you to block your account for 30 days up to 5 years. During this period, you cannot make deposits or play — helping you regain full control over your gaming habits.
Set a limit on the total amount of losses you are willing to accept in a day, week, or month. Once this limit is reached, the a6stra system will temporarily prevent you from continuing to play — protecting your balance from unplanned losses.
A6stra sends in-app notifications and emails when you are approaching your set limits. These alerts are designed not to interrupt, but to keep you informed about your current gaming activity — so the decisions always stay in your hands.
This self-assessment is not a test — it is a self-reflection tool to help you understand your relationship with gaming. Answer the following questions honestly. If you answer "yes" to three or more questions, it may be time to speak with someone you trust or reach out to our support team.
Have you ever felt the need to hide how much time or money you've spent playing from family or friends?
Have you ever tried to chase your losses by continuing to play even after reaching the limit you set for yourself?
Has gaming started to interfere with your daily responsibilities — such as work, studies, or time with family?
Have you ever borrowed money or sold belongings just to fund your playing?
Do you feel anxious, irritable, or uncomfortable when you haven't been able to play for a while?
Do you use gaming as a way to forget your problems, relieve stress, or escape from reality?
If any of the questions above raise concerns, contact us via 24/7 live chat. Our support team is trained to help without judgment.
Setting self-control limits on a6stra is simple and takes less than two minutes. Here is a quick guide:
Access your a6stra account via the website or mobile app. Make sure you are logged into your personal account — all self-control settings are specific to each account.
Click the profile icon in the top right corner, then select "Account Settings" or "Responsible Gaming" from the dropdown menu that appears.
Choose from the list of available control tools — deposit limit, loss limit, session time limit, cooling-off, or self-exclusion. Each tool comes with a clear description.
Enter a limit that suits your budget and needs. For limits that reduce access, the system will request additional confirmation to ensure the decision is made consciously.
Once confirmed, the limit takes effect immediately or within the specified timeframe. You will receive an email notification confirming that your settings have been saved successfully.

Problem gambling doesn't happen overnight — it typically develops gradually. Recognising the early warning signs is the most important first step in getting help. These signs can occur in anyone, regardless of background, education level, or economic status.
Common signs that deserve serious attention include: feeling the need to bet with increasingly larger amounts to get the same excitement; frequently thinking about gaming even while doing other activities; lying to loved ones about gaming activity or the amount of money spent; neglecting financial responsibilities such as bills and loans just to obtain money for gaming; and feelings of guilt, shame, or despair after playing yet still being unable to stop.
What is important to understand is this: problem gambling is not a sign of character weakness. It is a behavioural health issue that can be treated with the right support. Many people have successfully regained full control of their lives with professional help. The first step — acknowledging that there is a problem — is often the hardest, but also the most courageous.
Problem gambling doesn't only affect the individual involved — it also has a profound impact on those closest to them. Partners, children, parents, and friends can all experience significant emotional, financial, and relationship strain. Seeking help for yourself also means protecting the people you care about.
There are many misconceptions circulating about gambling and problem gambling. Understanding the real facts helps you make smarter decisions:
