Responsible Gambling

Playing at Betway is intended to be fun and entertaining. Our commitment is to our customers – sharing the thrill with you. That means it’s our responsibility to give you a safe gambling environment, which is why we’re encouraging everyone to take a look at our ‘tips and advice’ section, to give you all the tools needed to gamble safely and continue to have fun.

Tips & Advice

Gambling should only ever be a form of entertainment. But sometimes, things can go a little too far. If you’re concerned about how much you gamble, or are worried about a loved one’s habits, then take a look at the following tips and advice.
1. Always try to keep track of your gambling spend and time! Remember this should be for entertainment only!

2. Never spend more than you can afford to lose! Set yourself a budget and stick to it.

3. No matter how many times red has come, that doesn’t mean black is due! Games are also never ‘prime’ or ‘due to pay’ – No amount of losses increases your chances of a win. Gambling, for the most part, is random, and our casino games use a certified random number generator (RNG).

4. “No way the dealer can get another 21 right?” –Though some games like blackjack and poker require skill, there is still a random element of how the cards are dealt!

2. Identity Checks

We take stringent steps to ensure that only people of legal age participate and enter Betway. Such checks include requesting the Customer to submit a copy of a photographic identification documents (such as a driver's licence, a passport or a government-issued identity card), in order to verify both age and identity.

The legal age for gaming online varies from country to country and so we advise that you check the rules of your jurisdiction before you play.

Any personal details we request from you are purely to verify your identity – this is a legal requirement for both your own and our protection. If you have any questions about our identity checks, please do not hesitate to contact  Customer Service  at any time.

3. Staying in Control

Betway encourages each of its Customers to actively participate in the management of their gaming account and so offers a variety of responsible gambling features.

3.1 Set Deposit Limits

Take financial control of your gaming account with the ability to set your own preferred deposit limits from the RG app or contacting customer services. Deposit limits may be set for the following periods:

  • Daily (00:00 GMT. to 23:59 GMT.)
  • Weekly (Monday to Sunday)
  • Monthly (calendar month)

At your request, deposit limits may be decreased, increased or removed entirely. An increase or complete removal of deposit limits will take effect after a 24-hour cooling-off period, whilst a decrease to deposit limits will be instantly applied.

3.2 Session Reminders

Don't get lost in the game. Establish a Session Reminder and keep track of the time you spend gambling.

Upon expiry of the time period selected, an automated message will appear on the screen reminding you of how long you've been playing and display your Wins and Losses for the session. You will then be required to select one of the following two options:

  • Accept and Logout; or
  • Accept and Continue.

You can select time periods from between one and three hours. Session reminders can be changed or removed at any time.

If you would like to be reminded about how long you've been playing for, please login in and then set a Session Reminder by clicking here. Alternatively, you can contact Customer Service for assistance.

3.3 Account Closure

If you feel like taking some time away from gambling, or you do not feel gambling is entertaining anymore, or for any other reason, you can simply close your account. Accounts can be re-opened by contacting the customer service team once a minimum of 24hrs has passed since the initial closure.  If you would prefer not to have that option please see our take a break option, which will restrict access to your account from 24 hours up to 30 days.

If you would like to close your account, you can do so by contacting our Customer Service team for assistance.

3.4 Stop Gambling – Exclusion

At Betway we understand that a Customer’s personal/financial circumstances may change and that there will be times when it makes sense to take a short break from gambling. In that case, you can request to be excluded from gambling for definite periods of up to 30 days as per the below list.

If, however at any stage, you become concerned about your gambling behaviour, or reach the point where you feel you can no longer gamble safely even after having made use of definite periods of exclusion, you need to stop and we can help by excluding you from future participation at Betway, and all other brands managed by Betway Limited. In that case, your exclusion would be for an indefinite period.

The following Self-Exclusion options are available from the RG app or via contacting customer services:

  • 24 hours
  • 48 hours
  • 72 hours
  • 7 days
  • 14 days
  • 30 days

Upon receipt of your Exclusion request, Betway will take the necessary measures to:

  • block your access to Betway and all brands managed by Betway Limited;

In case of indefinite exclusion, Betway will in addition:

  • contact you with a view to returning any remaining funds held in your account(s), subject to any outstanding wagering requirements and less bonus money. A minimum refund value of 10 EUR/USD/CAD or currency equivalent applies; and
  • put you in contact with a specialist gambling organisation.

NOTE: Upon a definite Exclusion period expiring, your account(s) will be reactivated automatically. Likewise, in the event of an indefinite Exclusion having been set, access to your account(s) will remain blocked until such time as you actively request to revoke the indefinite Exclusion status. Please note however that Betway imposes a minimum exclusion period of at least 6 months, once the indefinite exclusion is opted for. Upon the lapse of the mentioned 6 months and your request to revoke the indefinite exclusion, Betway will consider the account(s) for re-activation and, pending the outcome of a change of circumstance review, access to return may be granted following a 7-day cooling-off period.

Betway Limited reserves the right to block a customer’s access to gambling indefinitely, should it believe the individual to have a gambling problem.

As a further preventative measure, Betway recommends you consider applying the same Exclusion safeguard at other gambling operators with whom you hold accounts.

If you need to stop gambling, please contact support via email  [email protected] or live chat.
