Play money, real habits
DUBO runs on play chips. You cannot lose money here, and you cannot win any. But the rush of a spin, the itch to chase a loss and the hours that disappear are the same as in a real casino. We built DUBO to be a good night out with friends, not a way to spend your life at a machine, and the tools on this page are here to keep it that way.
Signs worth noticing
- You play longer than you meant to, or lose track of time.
- You bet bigger to feel the same thrill.
- You chase losses, even in play chips.
- You feel restless or irritable when you cannot play.
- You hide how much you play from the people close to you.
- You think about moving to real-money gambling to make it count.
If a few of these ring true, take a break and talk to someone. The help lines below are free and confidential.
Your tools in DUBO
- 1
Daily limits
In the account page, under Me > Play limits: a daily cap on what you add to the test wallet, on what you lose and on what you bet. Lowering a limit applies at once; raising or removing one waits 24 hours, so a bad evening cannot undo a good decision.
- 2
Play-time reminder
A reminder every 15, 30, 60 or 120 minutes of play tells you how long you have been on the island and points you to your limits.
- 3
Take a break
Lock yourself out for 24 hours, a week, a month or six months. A break can be extended, never shortened, and while it lasts we do our best to stop guest play from the same browser and address too.

Decision timers and safe defaults
Every decision at a table has a visible countdown. If you stop answering, the game plays the safe move for you (stand, cash out) and never bets for you.
- 5
No pressure
DUBO shows no loss banners, no countdowns to bet again and no offers to buy chips. Auto play on the slots stops on the conditions you set and whenever a round is refused.

Many countries run a national self-exclusion register for real-money gambling, such as GAMSTOP in the United Kingdom. DUBO is play money and is not connected to them. If you are registered on one, that is a good reason not to play here either.
Parents and guardians
DUBO is for adults, 18 or older. Sign out on shared devices and do not let minors play on your account. If you believe a minor has been playing, contact us and we will delete the account.
Looking out for a friend
DUBO is social, so you will be the first to notice when a friend is not having fun any more. Say so, kindly, and share this page. The voice chat is for cheering together, never for pushing anyone to bet more.
