Responsible Gaming

Company Commitment

Invicta Networks N.V., the operator of the gaming platform accessible at ggbet.ie, is formally committed to the promotion of responsible gaming practices across all operational activities. It is recognised by the Company that gambling, when conducted irresponsibly, may result in adverse consequences for individuals, their families, and wider society. Accordingly, it is the policy of Invicta Networks N.V. that all necessary measures shall be implemented to mitigate gambling-related harm and to ensure that gaming services are utilised in a safe, controlled, and informed manner.

This policy has been established in accordance with applicable regulatory requirements and reflects the Company's obligation to provide a gaming environment in which player welfare is accorded the highest priority. All staff members and operational processes are required to adhere to the principles set forth herein. The responsible gaming framework maintained by Invicta Networks N.V. is subject to continuous review and improvement in order to reflect evolving best practices and regulatory standards.

It is acknowledged by the Company that certain individuals may be particularly vulnerable to gambling-related harm, including minors and persons experiencing financial difficulty or psychological distress. Specific provisions have therefore been incorporated into this policy to address the needs of such individuals and to prevent their participation in gaming activities where such participation would be contrary to their welfare.

Risk Indicators

The following behavioural indicators have been identified as potentially indicative of problematic gambling patterns. Players are encouraged to assess their own conduct against these criteria. Where one or more of the following indicators are recognised, it is strongly advised that appropriate protective measures be considered without delay.

• Escalating Financial Expenditure: A pattern of progressively increasing wagers or deposits is observed, particularly where such expenditure is inconsistent with the player's stated or apparent financial means, or where funds allocated to essential living expenses are redirected toward gambling activities.
• Unsuccessful Attempts to Reduce Gambling Activity: Repeated efforts to limit, control, or cease gambling participation have been made by the individual but have proven unsuccessful, indicating a potential loss of control over gambling behaviour.
• Preoccupation with Gambling: An excessive and persistent preoccupation with gambling activities is exhibited, including frequent contemplation of past or future wagers, continuous planning of gambling sessions, and an inability to disengage mentally from gambling-related thoughts.
• Pursuit of Losses: Gambling activity is continued or intensified following financial losses, with the primary motivation being the recovery of previously lost funds rather than recreational engagement, thereby compounding financial exposure.
• Adverse Impact on Personal and Professional Obligations: Gambling participation has resulted in neglect of professional responsibilities, familial obligations, or social relationships, or has contributed to deterioration in the individual's occupational performance, interpersonal relationships, or mental and physical health.
• Concealment of Gambling Activity: Deliberate efforts are made to conceal the extent or frequency of gambling participation from family members, close associates, or financial institutions, which may be indicative of shame, guilt, or an awareness that the level of gambling engagement is problematic.

Account Restriction

Invicta Networks N.V. provides players with a range of account restriction mechanisms designed to assist in the management of gambling activity. These mechanisms may be activated voluntarily by the player or may be applied by the Company in circumstances where concerns regarding player welfare have been identified.

Voluntary Self-Exclusion: Players who consider that a period of exclusion from the platform would be beneficial to their welfare may request the activation of a self-exclusion measure. Upon the submission of a self-exclusion request, the player's account shall be suspended for the duration specified, which may range from a defined short-term period to a permanent exclusion. During any active self-exclusion period, access to the platform shall be denied, marketing communications shall be suspended, and no account reactivation shall be processed prior to the expiry of the exclusion period. Requests for permanent self-exclusion shall be treated as irrevocable absent exceptional circumstances.

Operator-Initiated Restrictions: Where the Company, through monitoring activities or staff observations, identifies indicators of problematic gambling behaviour, it reserves the right to impose account restrictions without prior request from the player. Such restrictions may include temporary account suspension, the imposition of deposit or wagering limits, or mandatory cooling-off periods. Players subject to operator-initiated restrictions shall be notified accordingly and shall be provided with information regarding available support resources.

Cooling-Off Periods: Players may request the application of a cooling-off period, during which access to gaming functions shall be suspended for a defined interval. Cooling-off periods are intended to provide a structured pause in gambling activity and may be requested for periods ranging from twenty-four hours to several weeks, as determined by the player at the time of the request.

Account Closure: Players who wish to permanently close their account may submit a formal closure request. Upon verification of the request, all active balances shall be settled in accordance with applicable terms, and the account shall be closed. Closed accounts shall not be reopened without fulfilment of applicable reinstatement conditions and a mandatory review period.

Setting Limits

A comprehensive suite of financial and temporal limitation tools is made available to all registered players by Invicta Networks N.V. The utilisation of these tools is strongly encouraged as a proactive measure for the maintenance of responsible gaming habits. All limitation requests shall be processed promptly, and reductions in existing limits shall take effect immediately upon confirmation. Requests to increase or remove existing limits shall be subject to a mandatory review period before implementation.

Deposit Limits: Players may establish maximum deposit thresholds applicable on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis. Once a deposit limit has been set, no deposits exceeding the prescribed threshold shall be accepted during the relevant period. Reductions to deposit limits shall be applied immediately; increases shall not take effect until the expiry of a minimum cooling-off period as specified in the applicable terms.

Wagering Limits: Maximum wagering limits may be established to restrict the total value of bets placed within a defined period. Wagering limits operate in conjunction with deposit limits and provide an additional layer of financial control for players who wish to manage their gambling expenditure with precision.

Loss Limits: Players may set a maximum permissible loss threshold for a defined period. Upon reaching the prescribed loss limit, further gaming activity shall be suspended for the remainder of the relevant period, regardless of account balance. Loss limits are calculated on a net basis and are applied across all gaming products available on the platform.

Session Time Limits: Temporal restrictions may be applied to limit the duration of individual gaming sessions. Upon reaching the session time limit, the player shall be required to disengage from the platform. Notification of the impending session expiry shall be provided in advance to allow the player to conclude their session in an orderly manner.

Reality Check Notifications: Players may activate periodic reality check notifications, which shall be displayed at defined intervals during gameplay. These notifications shall provide information regarding the duration of the current gaming session and cumulative financial activity, thereby enabling informed decision-making regarding continued participation.

Getting Help

Invicta Networks N.V. acknowledges that professional assistance may be required by individuals who are experiencing difficulties associated with problem gambling. It is the position of the Company that seeking assistance is a responsible and constructive course of action, and players are encouraged to access support services where any concern regarding their gambling behaviour has been identified.

Professional counselling and support services for problem gambling are available in most jurisdictions. Such services typically provide confidential advice, therapeutic support, and referral to specialised treatment programmes. Players experiencing gambling-related difficulties are advised to contact their national or regional gambling support services, which may include dedicated helplines, counselling centres, and community support organisations.

In cases of acute financial distress associated with gambling activity, players are further advised to seek guidance from qualified financial advisors or debt management services, which may provide structured assistance in the management of gambling-related financial obligations.

Family members and associates of individuals experiencing problem gambling are equally entitled to seek support, as gambling-related harm may extend beyond the individual player to affect those in their immediate environment. Support services for affected family members and close associates are available through many national and community organisations.

Players who are concerned about their gambling behaviour are encouraged to make use of the account restriction tools described in this policy as an immediate interim measure while professional support is being sought. The concurrent use of self-imposed account restrictions and professional counselling is recognised as an effective approach to the management of problem gambling.
