Responsible Gaming

Gambling always carries risk. You can lose money. Plan your betting budget before you start and stick to it. Keep play time short and take regular breaks. Use tools that support control and protect your balance.

Useful tips for safe play:

• Set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits before playing.
• Decide your time limits and use reality checks to stay aware.
• Separate gambling money from essential expenses and savings.
• Do not chase losses; stop when limits are reached.
• Avoid gambling when tired, stressed, or after alcohol.
• Track your activity to learn your patterns and adjust responsibly.
• Read the Responsible Gambling Policy to understand your rights and options.

On Spybet, you can:

• Set or change limits for deposits, losses, stakes, and sessions.
• Turn on cooling-off periods to pause playing.
• Self-exclude if you need a longer break from gambling.
• View account history, net results, and time spent to maintain control.

Problem gambling can develop gradually. Warning signs show that control is slipping and support may be needed. Gambling addiction is a serious condition that needs attention.

Key indicators:

• Increasing stakes or time despite set limits.
• Chasing losses after a bad session.
• Hiding betting from family or friends.
• Borrowing money or missing bills to fund gambling.
• Feeling irritable, anxious, or low when not playing.
• Neglecting work, study, or social life to gamble.
• Using gambling to escape stress or problems.
• Repeated failed attempts to cut down or stop.
• Thinking about gambling most of the day.
• Placing bets impulsively, without a plan.

Regaining control is possible. Combine platform tools, personal boundaries, and professional support. Early action reduces harm.

Practical recommendations:

• Set strict deposit, loss, stake, and time limits on Spybet before you play.
• Activate reality checks and session reminders to manage playing time.
• Use a cooling-off period to pause access for a set time.
• Choose self-exclusion for a longer break if control is at risk.
• Install blocking software such as Gamban or BetBlocker on all devices.
• Ask your bank to enable a gambling transaction block and merchant filters.
• Opt out of marketing to reduce betting prompts.
• Keep a simple spending diary to monitor gambling and learn triggers.
• Do not gamble when upset or under the influence.
• Seek professional help and peer support early; combine it with digital tools.
