Responsible Gambling

Gambling should be fun — never a source of stress, debt, or harm. At Betfy, we take responsible gambling seriously and believe every bettor should have access to the tools and information they need to stay in control.

Know the Signs

Problem gambling can develop gradually. Ask yourself:

• Are you spending more money or time gambling than you intended?
• Are you chasing losses or borrowing money to gamble?
• Is gambling affecting your relationships, work, or mental health?
• Do you feel anxious, irritable, or restless when you try to stop?
• Are you hiding your gambling from family or friends?

If any of these apply to you, it may be time to seek help. You are not alone, and support is available.

Tools to Stay in Control

All UKGC-licensed betting brands are required to offer responsible gambling tools. Look for:

• Deposit limits — Set daily, weekly, or monthly caps on how much you deposit
• Loss limits — Cap the amount you can lose in a given period
• Session time limits — Get alerts or auto-logged out after a set time
• Reality checks — Periodic reminders of how long you’ve been playing
• Self-exclusion — Temporarily or permanently block yourself from a platform
• Cool-off periods — Take a short break from your account (24 hours to 6 weeks)

We factor the availability and quality of these tools into every brand’s BetfyScore under our Trustworthiness category (weighted at 20%).
