hotlive's Commitment Statement: We believe that gambling should be an enjoyable form of entertainment, not a source of stress or problems. This Responsible Gaming Policy is part of hotlive's core commitment to ensuring the well-being of every one of our members.
At hotlive, we understand that behind every account is a real person with their own life, responsibilities, and challenges. Online gaming can be a truly enjoyable experience when done wisely and responsibly. However, we also recognise that without proper control, wagering activity can have a negative impact on one's finances, family relationships, and mental health.
That is why hotlive invests seriously in responsible gaming infrastructure, which includes self-control tools accessible directly from your account, a proactive monitoring programme run by our team, and partnerships with professional support organisations. We do not merely comply with legal requirements — we genuinely care about your well-being as a trusted member.
Hotlive Self-Control Tools
All these tools are accessible directly from your account settings — free, easy, and effective immediately.
Deposit Limit
Set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits to control the amount of money you add to your hotlive account. These limits take effect immediately once set.
Play Time Limit
Set the maximum play time allowed per session. When the limit is reached, the hotlive system will notify you and offer the option to take a break.
Loss Limit
Set the maximum loss amount you are willing to tolerate in a day, week, or month. Your account will be automatically restricted once that limit is reached.
Temporary Break
Take a short break of 24 hours, 72 hours, or 7 days whenever you feel that gaming is starting to affect your daily routine. You may resume playing once the break period ends.
Self-Exclusion
Choose to fully exclude yourself from the hotlive platform for 6 months, 1 year, or permanently. This is a serious action that cannot be reversed within the specified period.
Promotion Controls
Choose to opt out of all bonus offers and promotions. This helps you play based solely on your own decisions, free from advertising incentives or tempting offers.
Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling rarely happens overnight — it usually develops gradually until a person realises it is too late. The ability to recognise early warning signs is key to getting help before the problem becomes more serious. hotlive encourages all members to assess themselves honestly and regularly.
The following are warning signs to watch for in yourself or someone you care about:
Money Comes First
Using money set aside for essential needs such as bills, rent, or food as gambling funds.
Withdrawal Anxiety
Feeling lost, restless, or irritable when unable to play for a period of time.
Chasing Losses
Continuing to play or top up deposits solely to recover money already lost.
Hiding Activity
Lying to family or friends about how much time and money you have spent on gambling.
Preoccupied with Gambling
Constantly thinking about ways to get more money to gamble or planning the next session.
Strained Relationships
Neglecting family, work, or school responsibilities due to spending too much time gambling.
If you identify two or more of the above signs in yourself, please use hotlive's self-control tools immediately or contact our support team. Acknowledging the problem is the most courageous and most important step you can take today.
Self-Assessment Questions
Answer the following questions honestly. The more questions you answer "yes" to, the greater the likelihood that you need help or should at least reassess your gaming habits.
Have you ever played longer or spent more money than you originally planned?
Have you ever gambled using money that was meant for essential needs such as household bills, food, or debts?
Do you feel the need to keep increasing your wager amounts to get the same excitement as before?
Have you ever tried to cut down or stop gambling but failed to do so despite a strong intention?
Does gambling make you feel stressed, guilty, or ashamed after each session?
Have you ever borrowed money or sold valuables to fund your betting?
Have people close to you ever expressed concern about your gambling habits?
If all your answers are "no", continue playing responsibly and make use of hotlive's self-control tools as a preventive measure. Remember — prevention is always better than cure.
How to Activate Self-Control Tools
Hotlive makes activating self-control tools as easy and fast as possible. You do not need to contact customer support to use most of these tools — everything can be done on your own in a few simple steps:
Login to Your hotlive Account
Visit hotlive.vu and log in using your registered username and password.
Go to Account Settings
Click on your profile icon or username in the top right corner, then select "Account Settings" or "Security Settings".
Select "Responsible Gaming"
Look for the tab or section labelled "Responsible Gaming" or "Self-Control" in your account settings menu.
Choose and Set Your Limits
Select the type of limit you want (deposit, time, loss), enter the appropriate value, and choose the period for which the limit applies.
Confirm and Save
Review your selections and click "Confirm". Limits take effect immediately. To reduce a limit, a 24-hour waiting period will be applied as an additional safety measure.
Note: Once a limit is set, it takes effect immediately. However, to reduce any limit that has already been set, the hotlive system enforces a mandatory waiting period of 24 to 72 hours to ensure your decision is considered and not made in haste.
Minor Protection
Hotlive has a zero-tolerance policy on participation by individuals under the age of 18 in any gambling activity on our platform. This is not merely a legal requirement — it is our moral responsibility to society.
- Mandatory Age Verification (KYC): All new members are required to submit a valid identification document during the registration process. Accounts will not be fully activated until age is verified as 18 or above.
- Continuous Monitoring: The hotlive team monitors suspicious activity patterns that may indicate account use by underage individuals or account sharing with minors.
- Parental Control Software: We encourage parents and guardians to use parental control software on shared devices to prevent children from accessing gambling sites.
- No Account Sharing: Each hotlive account is for the personal use of the registered owner only. Sharing your login credentials, especially with underage individuals, is a violation of hotlive's Terms and Conditions.
If you suspect that someone under the age of 18 is using the hotlive platform, please contact us immediately via live chat or our support email. Such reports will be investigated with the highest priority.
