Responsible gaming at Betway
For most people, online gambling is a fantastic way to have fun. However, for some individuals, it can become a source of problems. Most of our members never encounter such issues. Nevertheless, a responsible approach to gambling is essential not only for those who already struggle with addiction or are vulnerable. We are convinced that such an approach is important for every player.
At Betway, we are dedicated to providing a secure gaming environment. We provide our players comprehensive information, tools, and guidance to help them maintain control.
Betway offers players a range of responsible gaming tools:
- The auto-control feature helps you set limits on bets and losses, and stop the game when you win the jackpot to protect your winnings.
- Take deliberate pauses from gaming. You can set timeouts of varying durations, from one day to several weeks.
- Review your gaming activity to keep track of all your transactions, top-ups, and payouts.
- Self-blocking. You can independently restrict access to games for a term from six months to five years.
- Set limits on account top-ups. This allows you to manage your expenses on games and modify or remove these limits whenever you wish.
- Monitor how much time you spend playing and take scheduled pauses. This will help you track the time spent on games.
How to recognize if you are prone to gambling addiction
To determine whether you have exceeded the threshold with gambling, consider the following questions:
- Have you felt feelings of guilt or shame after gaming sessions?
- Do you feel restless or anxious when trying to reduce time spent gambling?
- Do you constantly try to increase your bets to chase the thrill?
- Have you misled your loved ones about how much time or money you spend on games?

- Do you feel a urge to play to distract yourself from stress?
- Do you spend more time on games than you originally planned, ignoring work and daily responsibilities?
- Have you neglected significant obligations or appointments because of gambling?
If you answered "yes" to at least one of these questions, it may indicate a problem. It is important to acknowledge it and take steps to regain control.
