Here at BetOnline we want you to enjoy gambling. Laying bets can be fun, exciting and add to the enjoyment of sporting events. Casino and Poker games can provide hours of entertainment testing your luck and skill.

We recognize, though, that gambling can become a problem for some individuals, and when it gets out of control it can impact people’s financial stability and personal relationships. 

To know if gambling has become problematic for you, try to answer the following questions:

  • Do you gamble to escape from a boring or unhappy life?
  • When you run out of money while gambling, do you feel lost and in despair, and need to gamble again as soon as possible?
  • Do you gamble until your last dollar is gone, even the fare home or the cost of a cup of coffee?
  • Have you ever lied to cover up the amount of money or time you have spent gambling?
  • Have you lost interest in your family, friends or hobbies because of your gambling?
  • After losing, do you feel you must try and win back your losses as soon as possible?
  • Do arguments, frustrations or disappointments make you want to gamble?
  • Do you feel depressed or feel that you are likely to harm yourself because of your gambling?

If you answered yes to one or more of these questions, you may have a gambling problem.

If you are concerned that gambling may have taken over your life or someone else’s, there is help available. To speak to someone about this, there are a number of Support Organizations available offering free and independent advice.

Taking Action

We understand that your personal and/or financial circumstances may change and that there will be times when it makes sense to take a break from gambling. We also acknowledge that if you realize you have a gambling problem, it is important for you to receive assistance to stop. 

For that reason, we provide a mechanism for you to stop gambling for a period of time, or stop altogether.

Deposit Control

You are able to set a limit to the amount you deposit within a specified time frame, such as a week. You can contact our Player Services team regarding this.

Please note that any reduction in the amount you can deposit will take effect immediately, while any increase will be subject to a 24-hour cooldown.

Time Out: Take a Break

If you want to take a break from gambling, let us know. We can close your account for you for a period of time. If you choose to take a time out, any ungraded bets will remain active with any account balance remaining unaffected.

You can contact us again when you wish to reopen your account.

If you want to prevent yourself from gambling permanently, we also have available a Self-Exclusion option.

Stop Gambling: Self-Exclusion

If you feel that your gambling has become problematic, you have the ability to self-exclude yourself by contacting our Player Services team. During self-exclusion, you will not have access to your account, and we will take reasonable measures to prevent you from using the account or opening another account.

Once the self-exclusion is applied, you will also no longer receive any further marketing materials from us, and any pending bets will be cancelled. If you choose to self-exclude, you will be able to withdraw all your funds.

Your information

All the information we hold on our customers is confidential please see our privacy policy and subject to our general terms and conditions.

Players information is associated with their unique account ID or email address and is only accessible to Betonline staff in accordance with strict access controls. Players access to their accounts is restricted by their unique password. We routinely monitor accounts to guard against any unauthorized access and players can request information regarding times and dates of usage of their accounts by contacting Player Services.

To protect players funds, if the balance of their account is not used within 12 months any outstanding balance is removed from the account. This cash may be returned to the customer’s account and/or a payout requested at any stage through contacting the Player Services Team.  In addition, poker players will be required to pass an additional security check before they may access a dormant account.

If you feel that your gambling has become problematic, you have the ability to self-exclude yourself by contacting our Player Services team. During self-exclusion, you will not have access to your account, and we will take reasonable measures to prevent you from using the account 

Your wellbeing is of the utmost importance to us. Feel free to contact one of our experienced Player Services Agents if you require more information about this topic.
