20Bet Responsible Gambling

More about Responsible Gambling at 20Bet

Self-exclusion programs and measures to limit money and time spent gambling are just a few examples of responsible gambling strategies used at 20Bet. Responsible gambling (RG) aims to prevent or reduce gambling-related harms. These programs are part of a health approach that shifts from merely addressing existing problems to promoting positive behaviours and preventing issues before they arise.

What is Responsible Gambling?

20Bet Sportsbook and Casino recognizes the potential addiction that gambling can cause and encourages all players to practise Responsible Gaming to keep it fun. The main principles of Responsible Gaming include:

1. Don’t gamble to make money: Understand that gambling involves risk and be prepared for the possibility of losing more than you win.
2. Gamble only with expendable income: Use money you can afford to lose, such as funds set aside for leisure activities, and never gamble with money needed for essentials like rent, bills, or food.
3. Set and stick to limits: Decide on a loss limit and adhere to it. Set time limits to ensure gambling doesn’t dominate your life.
4. Avoid chasing losses: Don’t try to recover losses by exceeding your limits, as this often leads to greater losses.
5. Don’t gamble when upset: It’s harder to make good decisions when you’re not in the right state of mind.
6. Maintain a healthy balance: Be mindful of the time spent gambling and ensure it doesn’t interfere with family, friends, or other activities you enjoy.

Signs of Problems

Watch for these signs that may indicate a gambling problem:

• Spending more time or money on gambling than planned
