Responsible Gambling at QBet
At QBet, we are committed to providing a safe and enjoyable gambling environment for all our customers. We understand that whilst gambling can be an entertaining pastime, it can also lead to problems for some individuals. As a licensed operator in the United Kingdom, we adhere to strict responsible gambling standards set by the UK Gambling Commission and are dedicated to promoting safer gambling practices.
Our Responsible Gambling Tools
We provide a comprehensive range of tools to help you maintain control over your gambling activities:
- Deposit Limits: Set daily, weekly, or monthly limits on how much you can deposit into your account. These limits help you manage your spending effectively.

- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily exclude yourself from gambling for periods ranging from 24 hours to six months, or request permanent exclusion.
- Account Closure: Permanently close your account if you wish to stop gambling altogether.
Recognising Problem Gambling
Gambling should always remain a form of entertainment. You may have a gambling problem if you:
- Gamble to escape problems or relieve feelings of helplessness, guilt, anxiety, or depression
- Chase losses with bigger bets
- Lie to family members or others to hide the extent of your gambling
- Feel restless or irritable when attempting to cut down on gambling
- Risk or lose important relationships, jobs, or educational opportunities because of gambling
- Rely on others to provide money to relieve desperate financial situations caused by gambling
- Spend more time or money gambling than you can afford
- Neglect work, school, or household responsibilities due to gambling
Safer Gambling Guidelines
To maintain a healthy relationship with gambling, we recommend:
- Set a budget before you start and never exceed it
- Only gamble with money you can afford to lose
- Never chase your losses
- Take regular breaks and don't gamble for extended periods
- Don't gamble when you're upset, angry, or depressed
- Balance gambling with other activities and hobbies
- Never borrow money to gamble
- Keep track of the time and money you spend gambling
