Responsible Gaming

Gambling always involves the risk of losing money. This fundamental truth applies to every bet you place, regardless of experience or strategy. Understanding this helps you approach betting with realistic expectations.

Cybet offers multiple control tools to protect your interests:

• Set deposit limits to manage how much money you add to your account daily, weekly, or monthly
• Establish loss limits to prevent spending beyond your comfortable threshold
• Use time reminders to track how long you’ve been playing
• Take cooling-off periods when you need a short break from betting activities
• Request self-exclusion if you need a longer period away from gambling
• Monitor your betting history through your account dashboard to review patterns
• Never chase losses by placing larger bets to recover what you’ve lost
• Treat betting as entertainment, not as a way to earn income or solve financial problems

These tools help you maintain healthy boundaries. You decide what works best for your circumstances and financial situation.

Gambling addiction is a serious condition that requires professional attention. Recognising the warning signs early can help you or someone you care about get the necessary support.

Key indicators of problem gambling include:

• Spending more money than you can afford to lose on betting activities
• Borrowing money from family, friends, or through loans to fund your gambling
• Neglecting responsibilities at work, home, or in relationships because of betting
• Feeling restless or irritable when you try to reduce or stop gambling
• Using gambling as an escape from stress, anxiety, or depression
• Lying to others about the amount of time or money you spend on betting
• Chasing losses by continuing to bet to recover money you’ve already lost
• Losing interest in activities you previously enjoyed outside of gambling
• Experiencing relationship conflicts with family or friends due to your betting habits
• Having difficulty concentrating on daily tasks because you’re thinking about gambling

If you recognise multiple signs in yourself or someone close to you, professional help is available. Taking action early makes a significant difference.

Preventing and addressing gambling addiction requires proactive steps. Cybet recommends these practical strategies to help you maintain control:

• Set strict financial limits before you start playing and never exceed them
• Use deposit and loss limits available in your account settings
• Keep track of time spent on betting platforms using session reminders
• Avoid gambling when stressed or experiencing negative emotions
• Don’t drink alcohol whilst placing bets, as it impairs judgement
• Take regular breaks from betting to maintain perspective
• Talk to trusted friends or family members about your gambling habits
• Seek professional help at the first sign of losing control
• Block access to betting sites during self-exclusion periods if needed
• Develop alternative activities that provide enjoyment without financial risk

Remember that asking for help demonstrates strength, not weakness. Support services exist to protect your wellbeing.
