How Do I Gamble Responsibly?

Entertainment, Not Income

View gambling as a form of entertainment and not a source of income. This mindset helps maintain a healthy approach to gambling.

Set Financial Limits

Only gamble what you can afford to lose. Utilize Deposit Limits and Spend Limits to manage the amount of money you spend.

Avoid Chasing Losses

Never chase your losses, as this can lead to financial problems and emotional distress.

Monitor Your Time

Track the amount of time you spend playing. Use Session Limits to manage how long you can be logged into your account.

Balance Your Activities

Ensure gambling is just one of many activities you enjoy. When it becomes your only form of entertainment, reconsider your engagement.

Take Regular Breaks

Taking regular breaks from gambling helps maintain perspective and prevents the negative impacts of continuous play.

Avoid Impaired Gambling

Do not gamble when under the influence of alcohol or when feeling upset or depressed, as it can impair your decision-making.

Track Your Activity

Use your Online Account History to think about how much time and money you spend gambling.

Understand the Odds

Familiarize yourself with the odds and workings of the games you play. Know that the house always has an edge.

Seek Help When Needed

If you ever need to talk to someone about problem gambling, contact a support organization.

Tools to Help

Deposit Limits

Deposit Limits allow you to manage the amount of money you can deposit into your account during any one calendar day, week, or month. Once your limit is reached, you will be unable to deposit any funds until the time period resets.

Take a Break

If you want a short break from wagering and gaming, you can take a Time-Out for 72 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During this period, you won’t be able to use your account for wagering and gaming, but you can still log in to withdraw any remaining balance.

Self-Assessment

Gamblers Anonymous offers a simple test on their website to assess if your gambling is causing a problem. Visit Gamblers Anonymous Self-Assessment.

Self-Exclusion

Log into your Qbet account, visit your account settings, and select your self-exclusion option to restrict access to your account for a set period.
