Responsible Gambling
Introduction
Inky Bet is intended only for adults aged 18 or over who are legally permitted to gamble in their location.
Gambling should be treated as entertainment, not as a way to earn money or recover financial losses. This page explains the tools and support options that may help players manage their gambling and stay in control.
Stay in Control
Players should decide how much time and money they can afford to spend before gambling.
To keep gambling manageable:
Set a clear spending budget
Do not gamble with borrowed money
Do not chase losses
Take regular breaks
Avoid gambling while upset, stressed, or under the influence of alcohol
Keep track of deposits, withdrawals, and playing time
Stop gambling when it is no longer enjoyable
No gambling strategy can guarantee a win. Every wager carries the risk of losing money.
Deposit Limits
Deposit limits allow players to control how much money can be added to an account during a selected period.
Limits may be available on a:
Daily basis
Weekly basis
Monthly basis
Players should choose an amount that fits their personal budget.
Requests to reduce a deposit limit may take effect immediately. Requests to increase or remove a limit may be subject to a waiting period.
Loss and Wagering Limits
Where available, players may set limits on the amount they can lose or wager during a specific period.
These tools can help prevent spending from increasing beyond an affordable level.
Players should remember that a loss limit does not guarantee protection from every financial risk and should be used together with personal budgeting.
Session Reminders
Session reminders may display a notification after a selected amount of playing time.
The reminder may show information such as:
Time spent playing
Amount wagered
Current account balance
Recent wins or losses
Players should use these reminders as an opportunity to stop, review their activity, and decide whether continuing is appropriate.
Cooling Off Periods
A cooling off period temporarily restricts access to gambling services.
Players may be able to select a break lasting:
24 hours
Several days
One week
One month
Another available period
During a cooling off period, the account may remain inaccessible until the selected time has ended.
A cooling off period is suitable for players who want a temporary break but do not require long term self exclusion.
Self Exclusion
Self exclusion allows a player to block access to the account for a longer period or permanently.
During self exclusion:
The player should not attempt to open another account
The player should not use another person’s account
Promotional communication may be stopped where possible
Account access may remain restricted until the exclusion period ends
Requests for permanent self exclusion may not be reversible.
Players should provide accurate account information so the Casino can apply restrictions to known matching accounts.
Self exclusion from one operator may not block access to other gambling websites. Players may also wish to use device blocking tools and banking restrictions.
Account Closure
Players may request account closure at any time by contacting customer support.
Account closure is different from self exclusion. A player who believes they may have a gambling problem should clearly request self exclusion rather than a standard account closure.
Any remaining balance may be processed after identity verification and account checks are completed.
Signs of Problem Gambling
Gambling may be becoming harmful when a person:
Spends more money than planned
Chases previous losses
Borrows money to gamble
Hides gambling activity from family or friends
Neglects work, study, or personal responsibilities
Feels anxious, angry, or distressed after gambling
Uses gambling to escape personal problems
Finds it difficult to stop
Attempts to recover financial problems through further gambling
Players who recognise these signs should stop gambling and seek support.
Protecting Minors
The Casino must not be used by anyone under the age of 18 or below the legal gambling age in their jurisdiction.
Parents and guardians should:
Keep account passwords private
Avoid saving payment details on shared devices
Use parental control software
Monitor internet activity
Log out after every session
Children should never be allowed to access a gambling account.
Financial Controls
Some banks and payment providers offer tools that allow customers to block gambling transactions.
Players may contact their bank to ask whether gambling payment restrictions are available.
Budgeting applications and financial advice services may also help players manage spending and debt.
Gambling Blocking Software
Blocking software can restrict access to gambling websites and applications.
Available services may include:
