Playing responsibly, what’s to know
We apply a policy of an ethical and responsible game offering, to be consumed with a responsible intent by our customers. To support this mission, we proactively promote our Responsible Gaming tools to our customers for an enhanced safe and secure gaming environment. We are devoted to offering our customers a 100% carefree, enjoyable and safe experience.
Play for fun, keep it a game
Fun is the keyword here, and placing a bet for entertainment that you can afford is the only way to it; placing a bet too many times to break even, make money or any other motive than just leisure or fun is definitely not.
To know yourself, is to know when to stop
If you are feeling unsure whether you are at risk of developing an addiction or if you are concerned about playing too much, use our anonymous self-test to get some safe play advice based on your answers and your playing behavior
Keep your play in control with our RG tools here
Always choose to use a limit that works best with your gambling habits; you can test out the RG tools here by yourself or make use of our free RG tool consultation by our expert customer support agents
Keep an eye on the time spent
Time flies when you are having fun! And that is great, just make sure that you decide upfront how much time you are comfortable spending on our site per session so to make sure that you use our services as intended, for fun! Never spend your precious time on gambling when your agenda does not permit you to or when you find it would affect your work, relationships, mental or physical health, or family bonds.
Keeping an eye on money spent
Decide upfront how much money you are willing to spend on a maximum and how much you can afford to lose. Make a budget and stick to it. Make use of our RG tools to set a limit or contact our expert customer support agents for a free consultation.
Stay social
Gamble for fun and meet your friends or family no less than you would if you were not gambling. We surely do try our best to take good care of you, but no one knows you like your own loved ones. Do not alienate yourself from them for the sake of gambling.
Do not play while intoxicated
Gambling is to be practiced with calm and controlled decisions and any intoxication will decrease your ability to make reasonable ones. Use our RG tools to make sure that you can take a break before taking part in any intoxicating activity, to avoid uncontrolled losses.
Play responsibly and make sure that you understand what that means
If you think that you have a strategy that helps you win, think twice, as gambling is intended to be used as a pastime activity...and that’s about it. Feeling lucky? Or won something? That is great! But don’t quit your job just yet, gambling involves winning and losing, so make sure to keep it a game!
A) Account Self Exclusion
1. How do I activate Self-Exclusion on my account?
Visit the Player Protection section in your account. Select Self-exclusion and then the timeframe and the reasoning, while you can also contact our Customer Support for any additional help.
2. What do I need to know about Self-Exclusion options before applying it to my account?
Take a Break: By selecting this feature, you can take a break at any time for 24 hours, 1 week, 1 month, or 6 weeks. You can extend the break period at any time with immediate effect. Temporary Account Suspension becomes effective from the moment it is set and remains valid for the duration you select.
Self-Exclusion: Self-Exclusion starts from the moment it is set and is valid for the period of time you choose (6 months, 12 months, 24 months, or permanently). Once set, you can increase the duration at any time with immediate effect. You can revoke your self-exclusion unless it is mandated by a court decision. To revoke a self-exclusion, visit the Player Protection section of your account.
3. Can I reactivate my account during an active self-exclusion?
You can increase the time frame of your self-exclusion at any time with immediate effect, but you cannot reduce it. To lift a self-exclusion, visit the Player Protection section of your account, but keep in mind that, for your protection, the revocation will only take effect 24 hours after it has been registered. IMPORTANT: Accounts that were self-excluded for 'addiction/gambling-related issues' cannot be reactivated.
4. Will my account be automatically reactivated after my set Self-Exclusion period expires?
Yes, once the set period expires, your account restores full access to our products and services. To lift a Self-Exclusion, please visit the Player Protection section of your account.
5. How often can I close my account?
As many times as you want. One of the Responsible Gaming best practices is to take regular breaks from your gaming activity as often as you feel it is needed.
B) Self-exclusion and funds/open bets
1. What will happen to my account funds when I activate Self Exclusion?
When you apply self-exclusion to your account, your account balance remains available for the selected period, allowing you to request a withdrawal or keep it in your account for use after the self-exclusion period ends (in the case of temporary self-exclusion). If you have any questions, you can contact our Customer Support for further information and assistance regarding the withdrawal of your remaining account balance.
2. What will happen with my open bets when I activate Self Exclusion?
The bets are still valid and any winning settlement will be transferred automatically to your betting account.
3. If my open bet wins during Self Exclusion, will I still be able to withdraw my winnings?
Winnings from any settled bets will automatically be transferred to your betting account. In the case of self-exclusion, you can log in to your account and withdraw your balance, but you will not be able to make new deposits or place bets.
C) Limits
1. Where can I set my limits for my account?
Visit the Player Protection section in your account to select from a variety of limitations features for your protection.
2. What are the types of limits that I can choose from?
3. How do these limits work?
Loss Limits: Loss limits take effect from the moment they are set. Their calculation is based on the Betting P&L, taking into consideration real money you have deposited, and they are defined over a specific time frame (daily, weekly, monthly). These limits reset automatically and are applied again for the selected time frame. Open bets and/or tournaments are considered in the calculation of loss limits.
Deposit Limits: Deposit limits are set over a defined time frame (daily, weekly, monthly). Their calculation is based on the total amount of money deposited into your account during the selected period. These limits reset automatically and are reapplied for the chosen time frame.
Wagering Limits: Wagering limits take effect immediately upon being set. Their calculation is based on the total amount wagered and applies to a specific time frame (daily, weekly, monthly). Once the selected period ends, these limits reset automatically and are reapplied. Open bets are considered in the calculation of wagering limits. You can have multiple active wagering limits at any time. You can decrease your wagering limits immediately, but increasing them will take 24 hours from the date of your request.
Bet Number Limits: This tool allows users to manage their gambling activity by setting a maximum number of bets for a specific time frame (daily, weekly, monthly). A bet is considered an individual wager, such as a spin in the Casino or a Sports Betting slip. Once the limit is reached, no additional bets will be accepted until the period resets. Stricter adjustments take effect immediately, while less restrictive changes or limit removals require 24 hours to take effect.
Betting Time Limits: This feature allows users to set a daily limit (between 1 and 23 hours) for the time spent on betting activities across all Betano products. Once the limit is reached, no additional bets can be placed until the 24-hour period resets. Reductions in the limit are applied immediately, while increases or removals take effect after 24 hours.
Withdrawal Request Cancellation: You may deactivate the withdrawal request cancellation feature in your account at any time by selecting 'Do Not Allow Withdrawal Request Cancellation'. This request takes immediate effect. To reactivate the feature, select 'Allow Withdrawal Request Cancellation', which will take effect 24 hours later. To prevent a pending withdrawal request from being executed, enter your password and select 'Save'.
Session Timer: The session timer feature notifies you when the selected time frame is reached during a session. You can choose to log out or remain logged in. The time frame can be set to a value between 1 and 8 hours. Reducing the session timer takes immediate effect, while increasing it or turning off the timer takes effect after 24 hours.
Reality Check: You can activate the reality check feature at any time to receive hourly updates on your session duration, as well as information about your winnings and losses during this period. Activating this feature takes immediate effect, but requests to deactivate it will be applied seven days after the initial request.
4. How can I adjust my active limits?
Visit the Player Protection section in your account but keep in mind that for your own protection, you can decrease your limits anytime but it will take 24 hours from the requested date in order to increase them again.
5. How can I best decide on a spending limit that’s right for me?
In order for you to know which spending limit is right for you, we strongly suggest following this equation:
(Υοur income) - (Daily costs of living) - (Bills) - (Money you spend on other hobbies) = (Maximum allowed amount that you could spend on betting)
Never forget to make the provisions for unforeseen costs that life can bring.
D) Preventing underaged gaming
1. What is the minimum age requirement for opening a betting account?
2. How can I restrict access to relevant sites for underaged people in my environment?
