Responsible gambling at Bluebetz Casino
Most people open this page after a session that felt off, not before one. That's a reasonable reason to be here. Bluebetz gives you two account-level tools to slow things down, and this page sets out what they do, what they don't do, and where to go if you need more than we can offer.
Why responsible gambling matters
Betting and casino games are entertainment with a built-in cost, not a way to fix a shortfall. The moment it starts covering bills, chasing losses, or replacing money that has another job, it has stopped being a leisure activity. 18+ only, and that applies to every product on this site, sports and casino alike.
Signs gambling is getting out of hand
None of these on their own is proof of a problem, but a few together are worth taking seriously:
- Chasing a loss with a bigger stake to "get back to even"
- Borrowing money, or using money set aside for bills, to keep playing
- Losing track of time or money spent, or lying about either to people close to you
- Feeling irritable or anxious when you try to cut back or stop
- Betting to escape stress rather than for the entertainment itself
- Neglecting work, sleep or relationships because of time spent playing
Questions worth asking yourself
Answer honestly rather than how you'd like the answer to look:
- Have you bet more than you could afford to lose in the last month?
- Have you needed to gamble with larger amounts to get the same feeling?
- Have you tried to cut back and found it harder than expected?
- Have you felt restless or irritable when not playing?
- Have you gambled to escape a problem or a low mood?
- Have you gone back to try to win back money you lost?
- Have you lied to family or friends about how much you play?
- Has your gambling caused an argument, financial strain, or missed work?
A handful of "yes" answers doesn't diagnose anything, but it's a reasonable prompt to use one of the tools below or speak to one of the organisations further down this page.
Our control tools
Bluebetz offers two account controls, both requested through Customer Support rather than a self-service toggle.
Self-exclusion
Self-exclusion locks your account for a minimum of six months. You request it by messaging our Customer Support Department from the email address registered to your account, and the exclusion takes effect within 24 hours of us receiving the message. Once it's active, you can't reverse it early — that delay is deliberate, and it's the point of the tool.
Cooling-off period
The cooling-off period locks your account for seven days. It suits a shorter break — a bad week, a bad session — rather than a long-term step back, and like self-exclusion it's set up through the same support channel.
We don't currently publish separate deposit limits, wager limits or session time limits as standalone tools. If you want that kind of control day to day, the third-party blocking software below can apply it at device level regardless of which site you're on.
Practical limits that work
- Decide the amount you're willing to lose before you start a session, and treat it as spent the moment you deposit it
- Set a time limit on your phone before you open the app or site, not after
- Avoid playing when you've been drinking, or when you're stressed about money already
- Use the seven-day cooling-off period after any session that felt bigger than planned, rather than waiting for a pattern to form
- Keep gambling money separate from your current account, in practice, not just in your head
- If you're chasing a loss, stop for the day — the six-month self-exclusion exists for exactly that instinct
Where to get help in the UK
These organisations are independent of Bluebetz and free to use.
| Organisation | What it offers |
|---|---|
| GamCare | National Gambling Helpline, free and 24/7: 0808 8020 133 |
| BeGambleAware | Information and free confidential support |
| GamStop | Free national self-exclusion across all UK-licensed gambling sites |
| Gordon Moody | Residential and online treatment programmes |
Blocking software
Device-level blocking works even if you're logged out or using a different site entirely. Gamban blocks gambling sites and apps across your devices, and BetBlocker does the same free of charge on most major platforms.
Protecting minors
This site is restricted to players aged 18+. If a phone, tablet or computer is shared with someone under 18, parental-control software such as Net Nanny or Qustodio can block gambling content at device level, which is worth setting up regardless of what any single site does on its end.
For anything account-specific — activating self-exclusion, a cooling-off period, or a question about either — contact us at [email protected].
Gambling should be entertainment, not a chore.
This site is for players aged 18 and over (18+) only. If gambling stops feeling like entertainment, free and confidential support is available at BeGambleAware.org.
