Gambling Controls
Manage your time and spend with the below options, to ensure you play responsibly.
Limits you set will only be applied to your account and not shared across other Entain Group accounts you may have.
Deposit Limits
Cap the amount you can deposit daily, weekly and/or monthly.
While limit decreases are implemented immediately, increases require confirmation after 24 hours in order to take effect.
Max Stake Limit
Set the maximum amount you can stake on a Sports bet or single Slots spin. It doesn’t limit how much you can wager on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis.
While limit decreases are implemented immediately, increases take effect after 24 hours.
Deposit Curfew
Pause your ability to deposit at the times of your choosing, such as late at night or over the weekend.
You can select specific days of the week and hours during which you want the curfew activated.
Reality Check
Get an alert telling you how long you’ve been playing at the end of your selected time. You can then choose to continue your session or log out.
Any changes made to your Reality Check settings while playing a game will be applied only after starting a new session.
Play Breaks
Take regular breaks in between active sessions (excluding poker), for 15 minutes up to 3 hours.
We’ll give you a warning 5 minutes before your break starts.
When you’re on a break, you won’t be able to deposit or play. You will still be able to withdraw funds and view your betting/gaming or payment history.
Account Closure & Reopening
Account closure
Close your account or block only specific products (Sports, Casino or Poker).
Account reopening
Your account will be reopened automatically as soon as the time period you set for the closure expires. You will have an option to unblock product/s before the date specified in your account.
Please note you will be unable to reopen your account for 24 hours following your account closure.
Account/product closure is a good option If you’d like to take a short break from gambling. If you think you have a gambling problem, we suggest you self-exclude and seek assistance from one of the organisations in our Sources of Help section.
With self-exclusion you can prevent yourself from gambling for an extended period and the process is irreversible.
To close all or part of your account, or learn more about this feature, go to My Account.
Time Out
Take a break whenever you want, from 24 hours up to six weeks. Once the irreversible Time Out expires, your account will automatically reopen.
You can find out more about the Time Out feature in My Account.
Self-Exclusion
With self-exclusion, you can prevent yourself from gambling for a period of six months up to five years (which can be extended). Once activated, self-exclusion is irreversible.
During this time you won’t be able to make a deposit, place a bet, or receive emails about bonuses or promotions.
You can self-exclude from your bwin account, all Entain Group labels, or every UK-registered online gambling website through GAMSTOP.
