Tools That Keep You in Control

Every gobetplay account comes with built-in safeguards. Use any of these features at any time — no questions asked.

Deposit Limits

Set a daily, weekly, or monthly cap on how much you deposit into your gobetplay account. Once your chosen limit is reached, no further deposits will be accepted until the period resets. This is one of the most effective ways to keep your spending predictable and within your personal budget. You can lower your limit at any time and the change takes effect immediately. Raising a limit requires a short cooling-off period to protect you from impulsive decisions.

Session Time Reminders

Long gaming sessions can pass quickly without you noticing. Our session time reminder feature sends you an alert after a set period — whether that is 30 minutes, one hour, or any duration you choose — so you can step back and decide whether to continue. Taking regular breaks is a healthy habit that keeps gaming enjoyable rather than exhausting. You can configure your reminder preferences directly from your account settings at any time. Staying aware of how long you have been playing is a simple but powerful habit.

Cool-Off Period

If you feel you need a short break from betting, a cool-off period lets you pause your account for a defined number of days — from 24 hours up to several weeks. During this time, you will not be able to log in, place bets, or make deposits, giving you the space to reset and reflect. The cool-off period activates immediately upon request and cannot be reversed early, so it provides a genuine commitment device. This tool is ideal for players who want a temporary pause without permanently closing their account. It is available to all registered gobetplay members at no cost.

Self-Exclusion

For players who feel they need a longer or permanent break, self-exclusion allows you to close your account for an extended period — from six months up to five years, or permanently. Once self-exclusion is activated, your account is locked and you will not receive any promotional communications from us. We take this request seriously and process it promptly to ensure your protection. If you choose a time-limited exclusion, you may request reinstatement only after the full period has elapsed and after completing a brief review process. We strongly encourage anyone struggling with gambling habits to use this option without hesitation.

Activity History

Your full betting and transaction history is always available inside your gobetplay account dashboard. Reviewing your activity regularly helps you stay honest with yourself about how much time and money you are spending on the platform. You can filter records by date range, game type, or transaction category to get a clear picture of your habits. Transparency is a core part of responsible play — knowing your numbers puts you firmly in the driver's seat. If anything in your history concerns you, our support team is ready to help you explore your options.

Recognise the Warning Signs

Problem gambling can affect anyone. Knowing what to look for is the first step toward getting help.

Gambling is meant to be a form of entertainment — not a way to earn income or escape from stress. When betting starts to feel like a necessity rather than a choice, it may be time to pause and reflect. The following signs may indicate that gambling is becoming a problem for you or someone close to you.

  • Spending more money on gambling than you originally planned or can afford to lose
  • Feeling restless, irritable, or anxious when you are not able to gamble
  • Chasing losses by placing larger bets to try to win back money you have already lost
  • Lying to family members or friends about how much time or money you spend on gambling
  • Neglecting work, school, or personal responsibilities because of gambling activity
  • Borrowing money or selling possessions to fund your gambling
  • Feeling that gambling is the only way to feel excited or to escape from problems

If any of these signs feel familiar, please use the self-exclusion or cool-off tools available in your account, or reach out to our support team right away. Early action makes a real difference, and gobetplay is committed to supporting every player who needs help.
