Tips for Safer Gambling

Warning Signs: 

Everyone's experience is different, but here are some general signs of a potential gambling problem. The more signs you recognize, the greater the chance of a problem:

Myths Associated with Gambling

Myth:     “Gambling is a way to make money.”
Fact:      If you gamble, think of it as a kind of entertainment you have to pay for, just like a movie or dinner with friends. That can help you keep gambling in perspective - and if you end up winning some money now and then, it’ll be a nice treat instead of something you were depending on.

Myth:      “When gambling, keeping track of previous results can help me figure out the coming results.”
Fact:      Each time you place a bet, the outcome is completely independent of the previous one. This means that the odds are no more in your favor on the tenth bet than they were on the first bet.

Myth:      “Compulsive gamblers gamble every day”.
Fact:      How often a person gambles has no relation to a gambling addiction. It’s the emotional and financial consequences of the gambler’s actions that signal an addiction.

Myth:      "If I cash out after every win, it will increase my chance of winning".
Fact:      A player who cashes out after every win has exactly the same chance of winning as a player who does not cash out. Cashing out has no influence on the outcome of game.

Getting Help

There are also several support organizations available which offer valuable information and advice across a range of areas, such as:

Self-Help Tools

Our responsible gaming tools and features can be accessed via the Responsible Gaming section of your Account.  Alternatively, please contact our 24/7 Customer Support Team (support.usa.betway.com) for more information.

Betway provides the following tools to help you manage your play:
Set a Money Limit
It can be hard to keep track of money in the heat of the moment. That's why it's important to set a gambling budget - one that will leave you plenty of cash for your normal expenses - and stick to it. If you go through all your money, it's time to stop.

Set a Reality Check

Whether you’re winning or losing, time seems to run at a different pace when you’re gambling. Make sure that you set a time limit for your gambling, allowing time for other exciting or important activities.

Should you wish, you can set a Reality Check to keep you updated with how long you have been logged into your Betway account for. To do so, simply navigate to ‘Reality Check’ under the Responsible Gaming section of the Account tab.

Account Closure / Self-Exclusion

We offer various account closure options to ensure that you are able to apply the measures you consider necessary:

With the exception of account servicing communications, you will not receive any communication from Betway once you elect Account Closure, a Cooling Off Period, or Self-Exclusion for the duration of the period you have selected for Account Closure, Cool Off, or Self-Exclusion.
