Responsible Gaming

Gambling at Betalice is intended solely for entertainment purposes. It should never be viewed as a source of income or a financial solution. We encourage our players to engage in gambling activities responsibly, maintaining a clear distinction between entertainment and financial necessity.

Self-Control Tools

At Betalice, we provide various responsible gambling tools to help our players maintain control over their gaming activities. These tools include:

• Deposit Limits: Players can set limits on the amount of money they can deposit within a specified time frame. This helps manage spending and encourages responsible gameplay.

• Loss Limits: Players have the option to establish limits on the total amount they are willing to lose in a given period. This feature assists in preventing excessive financial loss.

• Wagering Limits: Players can set limits on the amount they wager, helping to control their betting spend and ensure that they stay within their budget.

• Session Time Limits: Players can impose limits on the duration of their gaming sessions. This feature promotes breaks and helps prevent excessive playing time.

• Cooling-Off Periods: Players can request a temporary suspension of their account, allowing them to take a break and reassess their gambling habits without the temptation to play.

• Self-Exclusion Options: Betalice offers self-exclusion options, allowing players to voluntarily exclude themselves from accessing their accounts for a specified duration. This is a crucial tool for those who feel they may need a longer break from gambling.

Self-Assessment

To help our players identify early signs of problematic gambling behavior, we encourage a self-assessment process. Reflective questions to consider include:

1. Do I often gamble to escape from stress or negative emotions?
2. Have I ever lied about how much I gamble or how much I have lost?
3. Am I chasing losses by gambling more to try to win back lost money?
4. Do I find myself borrowing money or using funds intended for essential expenses to gamble?
5. Am I feeling anxious or distressed when I think about my gambling habits?
6. Do I often gamble longer than I initially planned?
7. Has gambling affected my relationships with family or friends?

If you answered ‘yes’ to any of these questions, it may be time to evaluate your gambling habits and consider using our responsible gaming tools.

Protection of Minors

At Betalice, we prioritize the protection of minors and take strict measures to prevent underage access to our platform. Our safeguards include:

• Age Verification: All players are required to verify their age during the registration process. We use advanced verification methods to ensure that only individuals of legal gambling age can access our services.
