Responsible Gambling
We want BetRightly to be a safe place to explore offers and learn. Gambling should be entertainment — not a way to make money or fix financial problems. If it stops being fun, it’s time to pause.
Need help right now? Reach out to a support organisation below. If you are in immediate danger, contact emergency services (EU: 112).
Gambling as entertainment
Gambling involves financial risk and outcomes are never guaranteed. Setting limits before you play is one of the best ways to stay in control.
- Only gamble money you can afford to lose
- Set spending and time limits before you start
- Take regular breaks
- Never chase losses
- Avoid gambling when stressed, upset, or under the influence
- Keep gambling separate from bills and essentials
Recognising warning signs
Gambling may be becoming harmful if you notice any of these patterns:
- Spending more time or money than planned
- Feeling pressure to recover losses
- Gambling to escape stress or personal difficulties
- Borrowing money or selling things to gamble
- Hiding gambling from friends or family
- Relationship, work, or financial problems linked to gambling
If any of these apply, consider taking a break and speaking with a support service — early support can make a big difference.
Safer play tools (player protection)
Many licensed operators provide tools to help players stay in control. Look for these inside your account settings or the operator’s “Responsible Gambling” section:
- Deposit limits (daily / weekly / monthly)
- Loss limits
- Wager limits
- Session and time limits
- Reality checks / time-out reminders
- Cooling-off periods
- Self-exclusion options
Cooling-off & self-exclusion
If gambling is no longer fun, the safest step is to restrict access for a period of time.
Cooling-off
A short break (hours to days) to step away and reset.
Self-exclusion
A longer block (weeks/months/long-term) that restricts access to an operator’s services.
If you’re unsure which option fits your situation, contact one of the support organisations below — they can guide you confidentially.
Underage gambling prevention (18+)
Gambling is strictly prohibited for anyone under 18. BetRightly does not target or promote gambling-related content to minors.
- Keep account details private (passwords / devices)
- Use device-level parental controls where appropriate
- Do not share payment methods with minors

Quick questions
Can I still use BetRightly if I’m taking a break?
Yes. You can use BetRightly for information, but if you’re taking a break we recommend avoiding gambling content and reaching out to support if you’re struggling.
What’s the first limit I should set?
A deposit limit is a strong starting point. Pair it with a session time limit and reality checks to reduce impulsive play.
I’m worried about a friend or family member — what should I do?
Encourage them to take a break and speak to a support organisation. Avoid judgement, focus on support, and suggest practical steps like account limits or self-exclusion.
