CopyBet UK: Responsible Gambling
Although it’s a great and interesting hobby, gambling should be approached sensibly and one should be aware of the dangers. Our aim is to ensure that gambling remains an enjoyable form of entertainment while helping our users maintain control over their gambling habits.
Stay in Control of Your Gambling
To help our clients have a positive experience with the CopyBet platform, we offer several tools designed to assist with managing gambling behaviour:
Limit your deposits: Set yourself restrictions to manage the amount you put in daily, weekly, or monthly deposits. Once they are set, these limits cannot be increased for at least seven days.
Self-Assessment: Take a quick self-assessment test to determine if you or your loved ones need help with gambling addiction. Regularly monitor your behaviour for any changes.
Self-Exclusion: You can deactivate your CopyBet profile for periods ranging from one week to three years, or even indefinitely. During this time, you will not be able to sign in to CopyBet or receive email offers.
Get a Timer: Track how long you have spent playing with the timer made available at the top of the Sportsbook pages on both the mobile app and website.
Help and Support
CopyBet advises the following sensible gambling assistance programs if you or someone you know is suffering with addiction to gambling:
GamCare: GamCare provides treatment for those affected by gambling, raises awareness about safer gambling, and promotes responsible gambling practices within the industry.
GAMSTOP: GAMSTOP prevents access to gambling websites and apps operated by companies licensed in Great Britain. It is similar to the self-exclusion tool but works across multiple websites simultaneously.
Gordon Moody: Gordon Moody is a leading provider of gambling therapy services in the UK for individuals, families, and communities affected by gambling-related harm.
BeGambleAware: BeGambleAware offers information on safer gambling, helps you understand and recognize the risks of gambling, and provides resources for help and support.
How to Gamble Responsibly
To ensure a positive gambling experience, CopyBet recommends adhering to the following principles:
- Treat gambling as a leisure activity, not a way to make money.
- Remember that gambling involves an element of chance, and losing is always possible.
- Set personal betting limits and regularly review your deposits and withdrawals.
- Monitor the amount of time spent playing and reduce it if necessary.
- Gamble only with money you can afford to lose; do not spend money meant for necessities.
- Stop gambling if your main goal is to recover losses, as this can lead to more significant problems.
- If gambling becomes your sole form of entertainment, take a break and reassess your enjoyment.
- Take frequent breaks from gambling to prevent it from constantly draining your time and money.
- Avoid gambling when upset or depressed, as this can impair decision-making.
- Do not gamble under the influence of alcohol, medication, or after a rehab stint.
By following these guidelines, you will be able to enjoy gambling as a fun and controlled activity.
