Responsible Gambling

SpeedyBet is dedicated to providing a safe and enjoyable online betting environment. We understand that for most people, gambling is a form of entertainment. However, we also recognise that for a small percentage, it can become a serious problem. Our Responsible Gambling policy outlines the measures we have implemented to prevent problem gambling and to assist those who may be affected.

We are fully committed to upholding the highest standards of player protection, as mandated by our licensing authority. This commitment is integrated into every aspect of our operations, from game design to customer support. We believe that by promoting responsible gambling practices, we can help ensure that all our customers continue to enjoy their experience at SpeedyBet in a controlled and healthy manner.

It is important to be aware of the signs that gambling may be becoming a problem for you or someone you know. Early recognition can lead to timely intervention and support. While not exhaustive, here are some common indicators:

• Spending more money or time on gambling than you can afford or intended.
• Feeling a need to be secretive about your gambling activities.
• Experiencing guilt or remorse after gambling.
• Chasing losses, meaning you try to win back money you have lost.
• Borrowing money or selling possessions to gamble.
• Neglecting responsibilities at work, school, or home due to gambling.
• Becoming irritable, restless, or anxious when trying to cut down or stop gambling.
• Gambling to escape from problems or feelings of sadness, anxiety, or boredom.
• Lying to family and friends about the extent of your gambling.
• Having repeated unsuccessful attempts to control, cut back, or stop gambling.

If you recognise any of these signs in yourself or someone close to you, we strongly encourage you to seek assistance.

Gambling should always be viewed as a form of entertainment, not a way to make money. To keep your gambling experience at SpeedyBet enjoyable and under control, consider the following advice:

• Gamble for fun, not out of necessity or to solve financial problems.
• Set a budget for your gambling activities and stick to it. Never gamble with money you cannot afford to lose.
• Set time limits for your gambling sessions and adhere to them.
• Avoid chasing losses. Accept that losing is part of gambling.
• Do not gamble when you are feeling stressed, upset, or under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
• Balance gambling with other leisure activities and interests.
• Regularly take breaks from gambling.
• Never view gambling as a primary source of income.

SpeedyBet provides various tools to help you manage your gambling activities proactively. You have the ability to set personal limits on your account, which can help you stay within your budget and avoid excessive play.

• Deposit Limits: You can set a maximum amount of money you can deposit into your SpeedyBet account over a specific period (daily, weekly, or monthly). Once this limit is reached, you will not be able to deposit further funds until the period resets.
• Loss Limits: This feature allows you to define the maximum amount of money you are willing to lose over a set timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly). If your net losses reach this threshold, you will be prevented from placing further wagers until the period concludes.
• Wager Limits: You can set a maximum amount you are willing to wager over a specific period (daily, weekly, or monthly). This helps control the total amount of money you stake, regardless of wins or losses.

These limits can be adjusted through your account settings. Any request to increase a limit will typically involve a cooling-off period before becoming active, allowing you time to reconsider. Decreasing a limit usually takes effect immediately.

If you feel you need a short break from gambling, SpeedyBet offers time-out and cool-off options. These tools allow you to temporarily restrict access to your account for a defined period without needing to self-exclude entirely.

• Time-Out: You can choose to take a break from gambling for a shorter duration, such as 24 hours, 48 hours, or 7 days. During a time-out, you will not be able to log in or place any bets on SpeedyBet.
• Cool-Off Period: For slightly longer breaks, you can opt for a cool-off period, typically ranging from one week to several months. Similar to a time-out, your account will be inaccessible for the chosen duration.

Once a time-out or cool-off period is activated, it cannot be reversed until the selected duration has passed. This ensures that you have the intended break from gambling.

For individuals who feel their gambling is becoming problematic and require a more substantial break, SpeedyBet offers self-exclusion. This powerful tool allows you to voluntarily close your account for an extended period, protecting you from accessing our services.

• Self-Exclusion Periods: You can choose to self-exclude for periods ranging from six months to five years, or even permanently.
• Account Closure: During self-exclusion, your SpeedyBet account will be closed, and you will be prevented from opening new accounts with us. We will also remove you from all marketing communications.
• Irreversible: A self-exclusion cannot be reversed once activated. Once the chosen period expires, you will need to contact our customer support team to request reactivation of your account. A further cooling-off period may apply before access is restored, allowing for a final consideration of your decision.

We strongly recommend considering self-exclusion if you are struggling to control your gambling habits.

SpeedyBet is strictly committed to preventing underage gambling. It is illegal for anyone under the legal gambling age in their jurisdiction to open an account or gamble with us. We implement robust age verification procedures to ensure that all our customers are of legal age.

• During the registration process, we collect personal information to verify age and identity.
• We may use third-party age verification services to confirm the age of our customers.
• Accounts found to belong to minors will be immediately closed, and any winnings will be forfeited.

We encourage parents and guardians to take an active role in monitoring their children's internet usage. There are various software solutions available that can help block access to gambling websites.

To help you monitor the time you spend gambling, SpeedyBet offers "Reality Checks" and session reminders. These features are designed to provide regular notifications during your gaming sessions.

• Reality Check: You can set a frequency for receiving a pop-up notification that informs you how long you have been playing, your net win/loss during that session, and offers the option to continue or exit the game.
• Session Reminders: These reminders can be set to appear at regular intervals, prompting you to consider taking a break or ending your session.

These tools are designed to encourage conscious decision-making about your gambling activity and prevent excessive, unconscious play.

If you are concerned about your gambling habits but are unsure whether it has become a problem, taking a self-assessment can be a helpful first step. This involves answering a series of questions honestly to gain insight into your gambling behaviour.

Consider the following questions:

• Do you spend more money on gambling than you planned?
• Do you spend more time gambling than you intended?
• Have you ever felt the need to bet more money to get the same feeling of excitement?
• Have you ever tried to control, cut back, or stop gambling, but failed?
• Do you feel restless or irritable when you try to cut down or stop gambling?
• Do you gamble to escape from problems or feelings of sadness, anxiety, or boredom?
• Have you ever lied to family members, friends, or others to conceal the extent of your involvement with gambling?
• Have you jeopardised or lost a significant relationship, job, or educational or career opportunity because of gambling?
• Have you relied on others to provide money to relieve a desperate financial situation caused by gambling?

If you answered yes to several of these questions, it may indicate a gambling problem. We encourage you to seek professional help.
