Responsible Gaming

Gambling always carries a risk of financial loss. You should only stake money that you can afford to lose without harming your daily life.

Responsible betting means:

• Treating gambling as entertainment, not as a source of income or a way to repay debts.
• Setting clear money limits before you start playing and respecting those limits every time.
• Deciding in advance how much time you want to spend on betting and taking regular breaks.
• Keeping your gambling separate from your essential expenses such as food, rent, education, and family needs.
• Accepting losses as part of the game and avoiding the urge to chase them.

On DBBet you can:

• Set deposit, loss, and stake limits to control how much you spend.
• Adjust your limits to safer levels if your situation changes.
• Take cooling-off breaks or longer self-exclusion periods if you need time away from gambling.

These tools help you stay safe, protect your finances, and reduce emotional stress related to betting.

Gambling addiction can develop gradually and may be hard to notice at first. It affects your financial stability, emotions, relationships, and health. It is a serious condition that needs attention and support.

Warning signs that you or someone close may have a gambling problem include:

• Spending more money or time on betting than planned.
• Feeling an urge to gamble when stressed, bored, or upset.
• Trying to win back losses by placing more or bigger bets.
• Hiding betting activity from family or friends, or lying about how much you spend.
• Using savings, loans, or borrowed money from others to continue gambling.
• Ignoring work, studies, or family responsibilities because of gambling.
• Feeling restless, irritated, or low when you try to stop or reduce play.
• Repeatedly breaking your own limits or promises to cut down.
• Thinking about betting most of the day or planning the next session.
• Experiencing arguments, debts, or other serious problems related to gambling.

If you recognise several of these signs, it may indicate harmful or addictive betting that needs professional help.

Dealing with betting addiction requires honesty, structure, and professional support. Recovery is a process, and small steps can make a significant difference.

Practical recommendations from DBBet to reduce harm and prevent addiction include:

• Admit that gambling is causing problems in your life and that you need to change your habits.
• Set strict daily, weekly, or monthly limits for deposits, losses, and stakes on your account.
• Use time-out or self-exclusion options on DBBet to block access for a chosen period.
• Remove saved payment methods and reduce easy access to funds used for betting.
• Keep gambling money separate from your main bank account and family budget.
• Avoid betting when you are stressed, angry, tired, under the influence of alcohol, or using substances.
• Find alternative activities for your free time, such as sports, reading, or spending time with friends and family.
• Share your concerns with a trusted person so you do not face the problem alone.
• Seek advice from professional counselling or support groups that focus on gambling addiction.
• Monitor your activity history on DBBet to understand your gambling patterns and adjust your limits.

If self-control steps are not enough, it is important to contact specialised services for further help.

Support from trained professionals and independent organisations can be very useful if gambling is harming your life. You do not need to manage addiction or high-risk betting on your own.
