• Responsible gambling at Bluebetz

Most people who open this page are checking something about their own play, not looking for a lecture. Bluebetz is a casino and sportsbook product, and like any of them, it works best as entertainment with a fixed cost, not as a way to make money. This page sets out what that means in practice and what tools we actually give you to keep it that way.

Gambling as entertainment, not income

Bluebetz pays out according to fixed odds and house-set limits, and no betting pattern changes that. Treating a session as a way to cover bills, debts or lost income is the single biggest predictor of harm, and it's worth being honest with yourself about whether that's how you're using the site.

When it stops being fun

A few concrete signs are worth watching for: chasing a loss with a bigger stake than you'd normally place, hiding the amount or frequency of your play from people close to you, or feeling irritable when you try to stop. Borrowing to fund deposits, or missing work or sleep because of a session, are further along the same line and worth acting on immediately rather than monitoring.

A short self-check

• Have you tried to cut back and found you couldn't?
• Do you need to stake more than before to get the same enjoyment out of a session?
• Have you lied to anyone about how much time or money you've spent playing?
• Have you used money meant for bills, rent or essentials to fund a deposit?
• Do you feel restless or short-tempered when you're not playing?
• Have you gone back another day to try to win back a loss?

Answering yes to two or more of these is a reasonable prompt to use one of the tools below, or to speak to one of the organisations further down this page.

Bluebetz's control tools

We offer self-exclusion: send a message to our support team from your registered email address and the account is locked within 24 hours of receipt, for a minimum of 6 months. During that period the account cannot be reopened early, so it's a genuine break rather than a pause you can undo on a whim.

Cooling-off period

Where six months is more than you need, we also run a 7-day cooling-off period — a shorter, immediate step back without committing to a longer exclusion.

What we don't publish

We don't currently list separate deposit limits, wager limits or session-time limits as standalone tools. If a shorter break or a spending cap is what you're after and neither of our two published tools fits, the national organisations below can set limits across every licensed site at once through GamStop.

Practical limits that work

• Decide the amount you're willing to lose before you start, and treat it as already spent.
• Set a time limit on your phone before you open the site, not after.
• Avoid playing when drinking, tired, or upset — decisions made in that state are worse decisions.
• Don't chase a loss with a bigger stake to "get back to even" in the same session.
• Keep gambling money separate from the account you use for bills.

Where to get help in the UK

Free, confidential support is available whether or not you play with us. The GamCare National Gambling Helpline runs 24/7 on 0808 8020 133. BeGambleAware offers advice and a treatment locator, and GamStop lets you self-exclude from every UK-licensed gambling site in one request, free of charge. For more structured, residential support, Gordon Moody works specifically with people affected by gambling harm.

Blocking software

Software such as Gamban or the free BetBlocker blocks gambling sites at the device level, which is a useful backstop alongside self-exclusion rather than a replacement for it.

Protecting minors

Bluebetz is restricted to players aged 18+. If a computer, tablet or phone in your household is shared with someone under that age, parental-control tools such as Net Nanny or Qustodio can block gambling sites at the device level regardless of what account is logged in.

Questions about any of the tools on this page can go to [email protected].

Gambling should be entertainment, not a chore.

You must be 18 or over (18+) to use this site. Support with gambling is free and confidential at BeGambleAware.org.
