Future Bet is committed to endorsing responsible gaming as a policy of customer care and social responsibility. We believe it is our responsibility to you, our customers, to ensure that you enjoy your wagering experience on our site while remaining fully aware of the social and financial harms associated with problem gambling.

Maintain Control

Gambling should always be considered a fun pastime. It is not a means of income. The majority of people are able to treat gambling as a recreational activity, some players may find this difficult. To help you maintain control over your gambling habits, please always consider the following: 

• Gambling should be done in moderation and undertaken as a form of leisure activity - not as a way of making money 
• Do not chase your losses – you will get another chance, another day.
• Only gamble an amount you can also afford to lose. Be in a position to cover potential losses
• Keep track of time and monitor the amount of money you spend
• Feel you need a break from gambling? Our customer support team can arrange for exclusion from our platform.
• Self-exclusion is an option if you feel you are losing control of your gambling. Self-exclusion can be activated by contacting customer support

Should you require advice, and feel that you want to talk to someone about your concerns in regard to your gambling habits, please get in touch with one of the organizations detailed below under ‘Gambling Counseling Organisations’.

Do you have a problem?

If you are concerned that gambling is having a negative impact on your life, or indeed someone else's, the following questions may help you find out. 

1. Does gambling prevent you from attending work or college? 
2. Do you gamble to pass time or to escape boredom? 
3. Do you gamble alone for long periods of time? 
4. Have others ever criticised you for your gambling? 
5. Have you lost interest in family, friends or hobbies due to gambling? 
6. Have you ever lied to cover up the amount of money or time you spent gambling? 
7. Have you lied, stolen or borrowed in order to maintain your betting habits? 
8. Are you reluctant to spend "gambling money" on anything else? 
9. Do you gamble until you lose all your money? 
10. After losing, do you feel that you have to try and win back the losses as soon as possible? 
11. If you run out of money when gambling, do you feel lost and in despair and feel the need to gamble again as soon as possible? 
12. Do arguments, frustrations or disappointments make you want to gamble? 
13. Does gambling make you depressed or even suicidal? 

The more questions that you have answered "yes" to, the more likely it is that you are having difficulties with your gambling. To speak with someone who can give you advice and support, please contact one of the organizations detailed below under ‘Gambling Counselling Organisations’.

Financial Limits 

In order to assist our players in gambling responsibly, Future Bet offers players the possibility of defining Financial Limits applicable to their accounts. To set a limit, please contact website support and state your desired limit. A limit will take place from the moment you set it and will not take previous deposits into consideration. This option can be accessed by contacting Support. Limits can be amended at any time. A decrease in the deposit limit will take effect immediately, but an increase can only occur after a specific cooling-off period, in order to avoid rash decisions. If you require any further information or assistance regarding our functionality, please contact the Customer Support team.

Standard Account Closure

Should you wish to take a break from gambling, whatever the reason may be (except in a situation of gambling problems, where the self-exclusion option should be utilized as illustrated further down), we offer you to close/freeze your account with us. To close your account please contact our Customer Support. A standard account closure means that your account can be reopened at any time, upon request. To reopen your account please contact Customer Support. In some instances, we may ask for a reason before activating the account.

Self-exclusion

Alternatively, you can opt for the self-exclusion option. This option can be activated by sending us an email. You MUST state your wish to SELF-EXCLUDE. Any such request will take effect within 24 hours from the moment the request is received by our Support team. NOTE: Unless SELF-EXLCUSION has specifically been stated, your request will be treated as a standard account closure as illustrated above; which means that your account can be reopened at any time.

If you are considering self-exclusion, we advise you to contact all gambling companies with whom you have accounts with and ask for to be self-excluded from these sites too. Furthermore, we recommend the installation of software that will allow you to block access to internet gambling websites. Information on filtering systems can be found on the bottom of this page.
