Responsible Gaming

Responsible gaming at the Br 4 Bet version of b4r.bet means enjoying casino and betting entertainment in a conscious, controlled, and informed way. Gambling should always remain a form of leisure, never a solution to financial difficulties or emotional distress. You should only play with money you can afford to lose and only for as long as it feels enjoyable.

Br 4 Bet at b4r.bet, operated in Great Britain by UK Digital Gaming PLC (company no. 12345678, registered office at 15 Appold Street, London EC2A 2HB, United Kingdom) under UK Gambling Commission licence number 58742 for Remote Real Event Betting and Remote Casino, is committed to protecting players and promoting responsible play throughout 2025. We provide tools, information, and dedicated support to help you observe your behaviour, expand your awareness of risks, and reflect on whether your play remains safe and sustainable.

Risk Awareness

Gambling can be enjoyable, but it carries the risk of financial loss and, for some people, the development of problematic or addictive behaviour. Recognising early warning signs helps you take action before harm occurs.

Common Warning Signs

• Frequent or escalating betting: You are playing more often, for longer periods, or increasing stakes to feel the same excitement.
• Thinking about gambling a lot: You regularly think about b4r.bet outside play sessions, including at work, at school, or during family time.
• Chasing losses: You return to the site to win back money you have lost, or you feel unable to stop until you recover losses.
• Spending more than you can afford: You use money needed for bills, rent, food, loans, or savings, or you borrow money to gamble.
• Hiding your play: You lie to family or friends about the time or money you spend on b4r.bet or delete messages and statements.
• Emotional changes: You feel anxious, guilty, depressed, or irritable when you cannot gamble or after you have played.
• Impact on daily life: Gambling affects work, studies, relationships, or sleep, or you lose interest in other hobbies.

Self-Assessment Check

Consider the questions below and answer them honestly with "yes" or "no". A number of "yes" answers may indicate a risk of gambling-related harm and that you should seek support or use the tools we provide.

1. Have you ever gambled with more money than you initially planned on b4r.bet?
2. Have you tried to win back money you lost by continuing to bet or increasing your stakes?
3. Have you ever hidden or downplayed your gambling from family, friends, or colleagues?
4. Have you used money intended for essential expenses (rent, bills, food, loans) to gamble?
5. Do you feel restless, irritable, or upset when you try to cut down or stop gambling?
6. Has your gambling had a negative impact on your work, studies, relationships, or health?
7. Have you ever borrowed money or used credit to fund your gambling?
8. Do you feel that your gambling is out of control or that you need help to stop?

If you answered "yes" to one or more of these questions, we recommend that you consider setting limits, taking a break, using self-exclusion tools, or contacting one of the professional support organisations listed below.

Limits & Tools

Br 4 Bet at b4r.bet offers a range of tools to help you manage your play and stay in control. These tools are available to customers in Great Britain under UK Digital Gaming PLC's UK Gambling Commission licence and are designed to support conscious, informed decisions about gambling throughout 2025.

Deposit Limits (Daily, Weekly, Monthly)

You can set personal deposit limits to control how much money you add to your account over a chosen period.

1. Log in: Sign in to your Br 4 Bet account on b4r.bet.
2. Go to "My Account": Open the main menu and select My Account (or Profile).
3. Open Responsible Gaming: Choose Responsible Gaming or Player Limits.
4. Select Deposit Limits: Click on Deposit Limit.
5. Choose period: Select Daily, Weekly, and/or Monthly limits.
6. Enter an amount: Type the maximum amount you are comfortable depositing in each period (for example, £20 per day, £50 per week, £150 per month).
7. Confirm: Save the new limits. They will apply immediately to lower limits. Any request to increase or remove limits will only take effect after a cooling-off period, in line with UK regulatory expectations.

Deposit limits are a key tool to observe, expand, and reflect on your spending. We strongly recommend setting them before you start playing.

Time-Spent Limits and Session Timers

Time management is essential to prevent gambling from interfering with your daily life.

• Session reminders: In the Responsible Gaming section of your account, you can enable session timers that display a pop-up message after a selected period (for example, every 30, 60, or 120 minutes). These reminders show how long you have been logged in and your net result for the session.
• Session duration limits: Where available, you can set a maximum continuous playing time (for example, 1-3 hours). When the limit is reached, you will be logged out or prompted to end your session.

1. Log in and go to My Account > Responsible Gaming.
2. Select Session Reminder or Time Limit.
3. Choose your preferred interval or maximum session length.
4. Confirm the setting; it will apply to future sessions.

Taking a Short Break ("Time-Out")

If you feel you need a pause but are not ready for a longer self-exclusion, you can apply a Time-Out (short break) from your account.

1. Access Time-Out: Log in, open My Account, go to Responsible Gaming, and select Time-Out or Short Break.
2. Choose duration: Select a break period, such as 24 hours, 48 hours, or 72 hours. Some longer options (up to 30 days) may also be available.
3. Confirm your choice: Read the information displayed, tick the confirmation box, and confirm the Time-Out.

During a Time-Out, you will not be able to deposit or gamble on b4r.bet, though you may still be able to log in to check your balance or withdraw, depending on the specific configuration shown in your account. Once the Time-Out period ends, access will automatically be restored; if you still feel at risk, consider self-exclusion or further limits.

Self-Exclusion

Self-exclusion is a stronger measure intended for players who feel that they have lost control over their gambling or who are at risk of harm. It blocks access to your account for a defined period or permanently.

How to Self-Exclude from b4r.bet

1. Log in (if safe to do so): Sign in to your Br 4 Bet account at b4r.bet. If you feel unable to log in safely, you can contact customer support and request assistance with self-exclusion.
2. Open the Self-Exclusion section: Go to My Account > Responsible Gaming > Self-Exclusion.
3. Choose the exclusion period: Select a duration that reflects your needs. Typical options include:
   • 6 months
   • 1 year
   • 2 years
   • 5 years
   • Lifetime (permanent exclusion)
4. Read the implications: Carefully read the information on what self-exclusion means, including access restrictions and any impact on existing bonuses.
5. Confirm your decision: Tick the confirmations, acknowledge that the decision is your own, and submit the request. You may be asked to confirm via e-mail or a verification code.
6. Support contact: If you require help while self-excluding, you can contact our support team using the contact details provided in the Contact & Feedback section below.

Consequences of Self-Exclusion

• Account access: You will not be able to log in to the excluded account to place bets or play casino games for the duration of the self-exclusion. Attempting to create new accounts may lead to closure of those accounts when detected.
• Deposits and bonuses: You will not be able to make new deposits or claim bonuses. Bonus funds will normally be forfeited. Real-money balances may be withdrawn, where permitted, by contacting support and following the instructions provided, subject to identity and security checks.
• Marketing communications: We will take reasonable steps to stop sending marketing materials to you for the duration of the self-exclusion, though you may still receive essential regulatory or transactional messages (e.g. about withdrawals or security).
• Reactivation: For fixed-term self-exclusions, your account will not be reactivated automatically without a clear process. At the end of the period, you may need to contact us and confirm in writing that you wish to resume gambling. For lifetime exclusions, reactivation is not normally possible.

GAMSTOP (UK-Wide Self-Exclusion)

In addition to self-excluding directly with b4r.bet, customers in Great Britain can register with GAMSTOP, the free national online self-exclusion scheme for UK-licensed online gambling operators.

• How it works: Once you register at gamstop.co.uk and your registration is confirmed, online gambling operators licensed by the UK Gambling Commission, including Br 4 Bet at b4r.bet (UK Digital Gaming PLC, licence 58742), must take reasonable steps to prevent you from using their online services.
• Duration: GAMSTOP offers fixed exclusion periods (e.g. 6 months, 1 year, 5 years). During this time, you should not be able to open new accounts or use existing ones with participating operators.
• Limitations: GAMSTOP does not cover land-based venues or operators not registered with the scheme or operating outside the UK. You remain responsible for avoiding gambling in those environments.

Support Resources

If you are worried about your gambling, or about someone close to you, professional, confidential help is available.

Help for Family

Gambling problems rarely affect only one person. If someone close to you may have a gambling addiction, your concern is important. Br 4 Bet at b4r.bet encourages family members and friends to seek support for themselves and to approach the person in a calm and constructive way.

How to Talk to Someone About Their Gambling

• Choose the right moment: Pick a time when neither of you is stressed or in the middle of an argument, and when the person is not currently gambling.
• Stay calm and non-judgemental: Use "I" statements ("I am worried about you" rather than "you are irresponsible") and avoid blame or criticism.
• Focus on consequences, not character: Talk about specific impacts, such as unpaid bills, changes in mood, or missed family events, rather than labelling the person.
• Listen actively: Give the person space to speak, acknowledge their feelings, and avoid interrupting.
• Encourage professional help: Suggest contacting a helpline, counsellor, or support group together and offer to help with practical steps.

Support Resources for Families

• GamCare: Offers advice and support for those affected by someone else's gambling, including live chat and telephone support at 0808 8020 133 and resources on gamcare.org.uk.
• GamAnon: Provides meetings and online information for family and friends of problem gamblers at gamanon.org.uk and related local sites.
• Online forums and chats: Services such as Gambling Therapy and other charities host forums where family members can share experiences, learn coping strategies, and access expert guidance.

Practical Next Steps

• Seek professional advice: Contact your GP or a mental health professional to discuss the situation and, where appropriate, request referral to specialist gambling treatment services (including NHS clinics in Great Britain).
• Protect your finances: Consider separating finances where possible, adjusting joint accounts, or seeking independent financial advice if debts have built up.
• Look after yourself: Supporting someone with an addiction can be emotionally demanding. Make time for your own wellbeing and consider individual counselling or support groups.
• Use formal protections: Where appropriate, help the person register with GAMSTOP or other self-exclusion schemes and install blocking software such as Gamban or BetBlocker on shared devices.

Operator's Commitment

UK Digital Gaming PLC, as the operator of the Br 4 Bet version of b4r.bet under UK Gambling Commission licence 58742 and with support from Aspire Global International LTD as platform provider, has a duty to protect customers and promote safer gambling in line with UK regulatory requirements in 2025 and beyond.

Internal Risk Checks and Behaviour Monitoring

• Behavioural analysis: We monitor gameplay and transactional data for patterns that may indicate harm, such as rapid increases in deposit amounts, frequent use of high-risk products, extended play without breaks, or repeated attempts to reverse withdrawals.
• Affordability and financial risk checks: Where required, we may perform proportionate checks to assess whether your level of spend appears consistent with your known or reasonably inferred financial circumstances, in line with applicable UK guidance.
• Reality checks and messaging: We provide on-screen messages, session reminders, and safer gambling information to prompt you to reflect on your play, including how long you have been active and how much you have spent or won.
• Account interventions: Depending on risk, we may impose or suggest limits, restrict access to certain products, or freeze activity while we seek clarification.

When We May Contact You Proactively

We may initiate contact with you if our monitoring identifies patterns that could indicate a risk of gambling harm. Examples include, but are not limited to:

• Significant or rapid increases in deposits, stakes, or losses over a short period.
• Very long or frequent play sessions without breaks, especially at higher stakes.
• Multiple failed deposit attempts or repeated use of new payment methods.
• Self-reported concerns, such as responses to our safer gambling questionnaires or direct requests for help.

Contact may be made via e-mail, account messaging, SMS, or telephone, depending on your communication preferences. Our aim is to:

• Inform you about available responsible gaming tools (limits, Time-Out, self-exclusion, GAMSTOP).
• Encourage you to consider adjusting your play or setting stricter limits.
• Explain any steps we have taken or propose to take on your account to protect you.

If you disagree with an intervention, you may raise a complaint through our internal procedures. If a dispute cannot be resolved, you can escalate it to our approved Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) provider, IBAS (Independent Betting Adjudication Service), in accordance with UKGC requirements.
