At PredictoBets.com, we promote betting as a form of entertainment — not a way to make money. Most of our users enjoy gambling responsibly, but we recognize that for some, it can become a problem. That's why we fully support responsible gambling and encourage our users to stay in control.
Gambling should be fun. But if you ever feel it's becoming more of a compulsion than a hobby, it's time to step back. The signs of problem gambling aren't always obvious, but some red flags include:
If any of these feel familiar, it's time to take action.
There are a number of tools and techniques you can use to regain control:
Set daily, weekly, or monthly limits with your bookmaker to control spending.
Take a break from gambling — most operators let you freeze access from 24 hours up to 30 days.
See how much you've staked and what your returns look like over time.
Pop-up reminders to show how long you've been logged in and betting.
Block access to your betting accounts for 6 months, a year, or even up to 5 years.
Use tools like Gamban, Betfilter, or Gamblock to block gambling websites and apps on your devices.
Some banks now allow you to block gambling-related payments on your debit cards. Check with your provider.
