Betting should be fun. Deposit limits, reality checks, time-outs and self-exclusion help keep it that way — here's how each tool works.

At Betjara we want every punter to enjoy the game. These tools help you stay in control — and they're available on your account at any time.

Deposit limits

Set a daily, weekly or monthly maximum you can deposit. Decreasing a limit takes effect immediately; increasing it usually comes with a cooling-off period, so you can't raise it on impulse.

Reality checks

Get a pop-up reminder of how long you've been playing and how much you've won or lost during a session.

Time-out

Take a short break — from 24 hours to several weeks — during which you can't log in to bet.

Self-exclusion

If you feel betting is becoming a problem, you can close your account for a longer period. During self-exclusion, you won't receive marketing messages from us.

Warning signs to watch for

  • Betting more than you planned, or with money meant for bills.
  • Chasing losses or borrowing to bet.
  • Hiding your betting from family or friends.
  • Feeling anxious or irritable when you're not betting.
Need to talk? If betting is affecting your life, reach out to our support team to set limits or self-exclude, and speak to a trusted person or a professional support service.

Betting is strictly for adults aged 18 and over.
