Responsible Gaming Policy

Responsible Gaming at bet17 — Your safety is our first priority

Gaming is entertainment — not a burden. bet17 provides multiple tools and support to help you play safely and in a controlled way. For 21+ only.

Why is responsible gaming important?

bet17 believes that online gaming is enjoyable only when it is done in a controlled and mindful way.

Online betting and casino games can be a fun experience, but they can become a problem if they turn into a habit or addiction. To ensure responsible gaming on the bet17 platform, we have put in place several effective safeguards. Our goal is for every player to enjoy gaming within their own budget.

Always treat gaming as entertainment, not a source of income. Do not chase losses, and do not play while under the influence of alcohol or medication. Always know your limits and play accordingly.

bet17's Protection Tools

We provide several effective tools to keep your gaming experience safe.

Set a Deposit Limit

You can set a limit on the amount you deposit daily, weekly, or monthly. Once a limit is set, it takes effect immediately. Increasing a limit requires additional verification and a waiting period, but reducing it takes effect straight away.

Set a Bet Limit

Set the maximum amount for each bet yourself. This limit will prevent you from placing a bet above a certain amount, which reduces the risk of overspending. A simple but highly effective way to game responsibly.

Time-Out Feature

If you want to take a break for a few days, use the time-out feature. During this time you will not be able to play any games or place bets on bet17. You can take a break from 24 hours up to 30 days.

Self-Exclusion

If you are dealing with a long-term problem, choose a permanent or long-term self-exclusion. This option keeps your account fully deactivated for 6 months to 5 years. Once activated, it cannot easily be cancelled.

Session Reminder

After a set amount of time, you will be automatically reminded of how long you have been playing. This helps you keep track of time and take a break when needed. You can set the reminder interval yourself.

Questions and Answers about Responsible Gaming

After logging into your account, go to the "Responsible Gaming" section under "Account Settings". There you will find options to set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits. Reducing a limit takes effect immediately, but increasing it requires completing a verification process. If you run into any issues, get help via live chat.

At bet17, you can choose a self-exclusion period ranging from 6 months up to 5 years. Once activated, it cannot be changed or cancelled until the chosen period has ended. For long-term issues, this is the most effective solution.

A time-out is a short-term break (24 hours to 30 days), suitable for a temporary rest or when you are travelling. Self-exclusion is a long-term measure (6 months to 5 years), applicable in cases of gaming addiction or serious problems. In both cases, deposits into the account are not possible while the measure is active.

Apart from bet17's live chat and email, you can talk to family members or trusted friends. Seeking help from a mental health professional or counsellor is also very effective. Acknowledging a problem and asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness.
