This page covers the age rule, how to request a deposit limit, a break, or self-exclusion, and the independent tools available outside the platform itself. None of these pieces work in isolation. Together they give a player a firm age gate, a support-led restriction process, and a few outside resources worth knowing about.
Minimum Age to Play
Opening a 1King account requires being 18 or older. This gets checked at registration, and there's no way around it. The same check ties into the identity verification covered on our Privacy page.
Requesting Limits, Breaks or Self-Exclusion
1King doesn't offer a self-service toggle for deposit limits, timed breaks, or self-exclusion inside account settings. Instead, a player contacts customer support directly, and the team applies the restriction from their side.
This adds a small deliberate step to setting or lifting a restriction. A limit can't be quietly reversed through the same menu it was set in, since a person has to action the change each time.
Steps to Request a Restriction
The process stays the same whether a player wants a deposit cap, a timed break, or full self-exclusion.
- Contact 1 King support by email, the in-site Support button, or Telegram.
- State clearly which restriction is being requested.
- Provide any account details the support team needs to confirm.
- Wait for the team to apply the restriction to the account.
Response times shift depending on the channel and how clearly the request is written. Naming the exact restriction and duration upfront tends to speed things along.
Independent Tools Worth Knowing
A few tools sit entirely outside 1King's own systems and work across gambling platforms in general. That independence is part of what makes them useful.
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
| betblocker.org | Blocks gambling sites and apps at the device level, across platforms |
| gamban.com | A similar device-level blocker, installed once and applied broadly |
| gamblersanonymous.org | A free self-assessment for checking personal gambling habits |
The first two work beneath the browser or app layer, so they keep blocking access even if a player tries a different gambling site entirely. The third is a self-check rather than a blocker, useful for a quick personal gauge.
Why Outside Tools Help
A restriction limited to one platform has an obvious weak spot: it does nothing once a player opens a different site. Device-level tools close that gap, which is why we point to them here rather than relying only on 1King's own support-led process.
Spotting the Early Signs
There's no single moment that marks a problem. Spending more time or money than planned, chasing losses, or feeling gambling is crowding out daily responsibilities are common warning signs. The gamblersanonymous.org self-assessment offers a structured, private way to check for these patterns.
Contacting 1King About Responsible Gambling
Any request tied to limits, breaks, self-exclusion, or a general question about these controls goes through the same three channels used for account support.
- Email at [email protected] suits a detailed or documented request.
- The Support button in the site navigation works for a quicker exchange.
- The Telegram channel also takes responsible-gambling requests.
Naming the exact restriction wanted, and for how long, helps the support team act on it correctly the first time round.

What's the minimum age to hold an account?
18, checked automatically during registration.
Are betblocker.org and gamban.com part of 1King?
