Responsible Gambling: Stay in Control

Self-Exclusion

Self-exclusion is the strongest responsible gambling tool available. It blocks your account from accessing gambling services for a set period — typically 6 months, 1 year, or permanently. During the exclusion period, you cannot log in, place bets, or receive promotional offers. The block cannot be lifted early once activated, which is the point: it removes the option to return in a moment of weakness.

In the BETON app, self-exclusion is available in your account settings under "Responsible Gaming." Choose your exclusion period and confirm. The block applies across all BETON products — casino, live tables, crash games, and sports betting — from a single activation.

Deposit Limits

Deposit limits cap how much money you can add to your account within a given timeframe. BETON supports daily, weekly, and monthly deposit limits. Once you set a limit, the system blocks any deposit that would push you over the threshold. Limits can be lowered instantly, but increasing or removing them requires a 24-hour cooling-off period to prevent impulsive decisions.

Setting a deposit limit is the single most effective way to keep gambling within your entertainment budget. Choose an amount you can afford to lose entirely each month, and set your limit there. If the limit feels too tight, that is a sign it is working.

Reality Checks

Reality checks are periodic reminders that appear on screen during play, showing how long your current session has lasted and how much you have won or lost. BETON's default reality check interval is 120 minutes. You can adjust the interval in your account settings — many players set it to 60 minutes for more frequent nudges.

The purpose of a reality check is to break the trance of extended play. When the reminder appears, take a moment to evaluate: are you still enjoying the game, or are you chasing losses? If the answer is the latter, close the app and return another day.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling often develops gradually, making it hard to recognise in yourself. Common warning signs include: spending more money than you planned, lying to family or friends about your gambling, borrowing money to gamble, feeling restless or irritable when trying to cut down, gambling to escape stress or negative emotions, and neglecting work, studies, or relationships because of gambling.

Other indicators: increasing your bet size to maintain the same level of excitement, chasing losses with larger bets, and using gambling as your primary source of income. If any of these apply to you, consider using self-exclusion or speaking to a professional.

Responsible Gambling Is Everyone's Responsibility

Operators, regulators, and players all share responsibility for keeping gambling safe. BETON provides tools — self-exclusion, deposit limits, reality checks — but they only work if you use them. Set your limits before you start playing, not after you notice a problem.
