Responsible Gambling
Gambling involves financial risk. Use limits, take breaks and stop when play is no longer affordable or enjoyable. This page contains safety information only and has no gambling conversion links.
Set limits before you start
- Choose a fixed entertainment budget you can afford to lose.
- Set a time limit before a session begins.
- Do not use money needed for bills, debt, food or savings.
- Do not increase stakes to try to recover losses.
- Take regular breaks and review whether play is still recreational.
Warning signs to take seriously
- Spending more money or time than planned.
- Trying to win back losses with more gambling.
- Borrowing or using essential household money.
- Hiding gambling or losses from people close to you.
- Missing work, study or family responsibilities because of gambling.
Controls currently described by Bet da Sorte
Bet da Sorte's current Responsible Gambling Central describes spending limits, time limits, temporary pauses and self-exclusion. It says reductions to limits apply immediately, while increases are subject to a waiting period. The operator also says deposits and betting are blocked during pauses or self-exclusion while remaining balance can still be withdrawn.
| Control | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Spending limit | Set a maximum amount to spend over a defined period. |
| Time limit | Restrict daily activity/session time. |
| Temporary pause | Block betting for a chosen short period. |
| Self-exclusion | Block account access to betting for a longer period. |
Operator controls and periods can change. Check the operator's current responsible-gambling page before relying on a specific setting.
When to consider self-exclusion
If ordinary limits are not enough, self-exclusion is a stronger protective step. It is designed to prevent betting access for a defined period rather than merely remind you to stop.
Independent support
