Responsible Gambling

Our Commitment to Safer Gambling

At AngliaBet, we recognise that gambling should remain an entertaining leisure activity. We are committed to providing a safe environment where players can enjoy our games responsibly. Our platform includes comprehensive tools and safeguards designed to help you maintain control over your gambling habits. We work closely with our licensing authority and industry partners to ensure our responsible gambling measures meet the highest standards.

Every member of our team receives training on identifying and responding to problem gambling indicators. We regularly review and update our policies to reflect best practices in player protection. Your wellbeing is our priority, and we encourage open communication about any concerns you may have regarding your gambling activity.

Recognising the Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can develop gradually, making it important to stay aware of warning signs. You may be experiencing difficulties if you find yourself gambling with money you cannot afford to lose, borrowing money to gamble, or feeling anxious when unable to place bets. Other indicators include neglecting work, family, or social responsibilities to gamble, lying about your gambling activities, or chasing losses with larger bets.

Physical symptoms can include sleep disturbances, changes in appetite, or increased stress levels. If gambling stops being fun and starts causing worry, it may be time to seek support. Remember that recognising these signs early allows you to take positive action before problems escalate.

Keeping Gambling Fun and Under Control

Responsible gambling starts with treating it as entertainment rather than a way to make money. Set a budget before you start playing and stick to it, regardless of wins or losses. Never gamble when you are upset, stressed, or under the influence of alcohol or drugs, as these states can impair your judgement.

Take regular breaks during gaming sessions and engage in other activities you enjoy. Keep track of the time and money you spend gambling. If you find yourself thinking about gambling frequently or feeling compelled to play, consider taking a break. Balance is key to maintaining a healthy relationship with gambling.

Setting Deposit, Loss and Wager Limits

AngliaBet provides several limit-setting tools to help you control your spending. You can set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits that prevent you from adding more funds to your account once reached. Loss limits help you cap the amount you can lose over a specified period, while wager limits control how much you can bet.

These limits take effect immediately when you set or reduce them. If you wish to increase any limit, there is a cooling-off period before the change becomes active, giving you time to reconsider. You can adjust these limits at any time through your account settings, and we encourage you to review them regularly to ensure they remain appropriate for your circumstances.

Time-Outs and Cool-Off Periods

When you need a short break from gambling, our time-out feature allows you to suspend your account for periods ranging from 24 hours to six weeks. During a time-out, you cannot access your account, place bets, or make deposits, though you can still withdraw any remaining balance.

Cool-off periods provide a longer break, typically lasting between one and six months. These periods give you space to reassess your gambling habits and seek support if needed. Both options can be activated immediately through your account settings, and we will not contact you with promotional materials during these periods.

Self-Exclusion Options

Self-exclusion is a more comprehensive measure for players who need extended protection from gambling. When you self-exclude from AngliaBet, your account is closed for a minimum period of six months, during which you cannot access any of our services or receive marketing communications.

Self-exclusion can be extended for longer periods, including permanent exclusion. We take self-exclusion seriously and have procedures in place to prevent you from reopening your account during the exclusion period. We also participate in industry-wide exclusion databases to help protect you across multiple operators.

Protecting Minors

AngliaBet strictly prohibits underage gambling. We employ robust age verification procedures during registration and may request additional documentation to confirm your identity and age. Our systems are designed to detect and prevent minors from accessing our platform.

Parents and guardians can help protect young people by using parental control software to block access to gambling websites. We encourage adults to be mindful of their gambling activities around minors and to store payment cards and account details securely. If you discover that a minor has accessed our services, contact our customer support team immediately.

Reality Checks and Session Reminders

Our reality check system sends you regular notifications about how long you have been playing and how much you have spent during your session. These reminders help you stay aware of your gambling activity and make informed decisions about whether to continue playing.

You can customise the frequency of these reminders to suit your preferences. When a reality check appears, take a moment to consider whether you are still gambling within your planned limits and timeframe. These brief pauses can help prevent impulsive decisions and maintain control over your gaming sessions.

Taking a Self-Assessment

Regular self-assessment helps you monitor your gambling behaviour and identify any concerning patterns. Ask yourself honest questions about your gambling habits: Are you spending more time or money than planned? Do you feel anxious when not gambling? Are you neglecting other activities or responsibilities?

Consider keeping a gambling diary to track your spending, time played, and emotions before and after gambling sessions. This record can provide valuable insights into your patterns and triggers. If your self-assessment reveals concerning trends, do not hesitate to use our responsible gambling tools or seek professional support.
