Responsible Gambling At IviBet
Purpose of Responsible Gambling Tools
At IviBet, we are committed to ensuring that your gambling experience remains both entertaining and safe. To help you maintain control over your gambling habits, we provide a suite of responsible gambling tools. These tools are designed to set clear boundaries, provide periodic reminders of your activity, and offer the ability to take a break whenever needed. Using these features is crucial to ensuring that gambling remains a positive aspect of life without it adversely impacting your daily activities or financial stability.
Self-Exclusion and How It Works
Understanding Self-Exclusion
Self-exclusion is an important tool for any player who feels the need to take a break from gambling. It allows you to temporarily or permanently suspend your IviBet account, effectively preventing access for a predetermined period. This is particularly beneficial if gambling is starting to take too much of your time or affecting your life negatively. During the self-exclusion period, you won't receive promotional material from us, ensuring that you can focus on recalibrating your gambling habits without distractions.
Activating Self-Exclusion
Activating self-exclusion is a straightforward process. Simply reach out to our customer support team via live chat or email, and they will guide you through the steps required to suspend your account. You can choose the duration, whether it's a short break for one month or several months, or you can even opt for permanent exclusion if that's what's necessary. While self-exclusion provides a break from gambling at IviBet, we encourage you to use this time to explore other hobbies or interests that bring you joy and fulfilment.
Setting a Limit on IviBet
- Log in to your IviBet account.
- Navigate to the responsible gambling section within your profile settings.
- Select the type of limit you wish to establish: options include deposit limits, loss limits, or session time limits.
- Input your desired limit and confirm to activate the limit.
- These limits will be applied immediately, ensuring you can enjoy yourself while playing responsibly.
Setting limits is a proactive way to manage your gambling. Deposit limits ensure you never spend more than you can afford, loss limits remind you to stop before losses mount up, and session time limits help keep your playtime balanced with other life activities.

Recognising the Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Identifying Problem Gambling
Being aware of the warning signs of problem gambling is the first step towards maintaining control. Common indicators include attempting to hide gambling activity from friends or family, experiencing anxiety or restlessness when not gambling, or continuously chasing losses to try to win back money. Recognising these signs early allows you to take remedial action before gambling becomes an issue that affects other aspects of your life.
Impact on Lifestyle
Gambling should complement your lifestyle, not dictate it. If you notice that your gambling habits are impacting your financial stability, straining your relationships, or causing stress and anxiety, it's time to reassess your involvement. Taking control early offers the best chance of re-establishing a healthy balance, and our tools can assist in achieving this by giving you clearer visibility over your activities.
