Steps to Setting a Limit
Step-by-step Guide
Setting limits on your gambling activities is a straightforward process that can help you stay within your comfort zone. Here's how you can easily manage these settings:
- Log in to your BetFury account.
- Navigate to the 'Account Settings' section.
- Select 'Responsible Gambling Tools'.
- Choose the type of limit you wish to set: deposit, loss, or time.
- Enter your desired amount or duration and confirm.
Once set, these limits will help you manage how much and how long you gamble, ensuring it remains a fun and controlled activity.
Self-Exclusion and How It Works
Self-exclusion is an essential tool for those who feel they need a break from gambling. This feature allows you to block your access to BetFury for a specified period, ranging from six months to permanent exclusion. During this time, your account will be inaccessible. To initiate self-exclusion, contact our support team, who will guide you through the process and confirm your request.
It's important to understand that self-exclusion is a serious step. While you're self-excluded, you will not be able to place bets or access your account in any form. This tool is designed to help you step back, reflect, and make healthy choices regarding gambling.
Recognising the Warning Signs
Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling is when gambling behavior begins to disrupt or harm personal, family, or recreational pursuits. Being aware of the warning signs is a crucial part of maintaining healthy habits. Here are some indicators that it might be time to reassess your gambling activities:
- Spending more time or money on gambling than intended.
- Chasing losses in an attempt to recover money.
- Feeling stressed or anxious when not gambling.
- Neglecting personal responsibilities or relationships due to gambling.
- Borrowing money or selling assets to finance gambling habits.
- Gambling to escape problems or to relieve feelings of helplessness or anxiety.
If you or someone you know is experiencing these signs, it may be time to seek help and utilise our responsible gambling tools. Taking prompt action can prevent further issues and help maintain a healthy balance.

FAQ
What happens to my account during self-exclusion?
During self-exclusion, your account is completely inaccessible. You will not be able to log in or make any transactions until the exclusion period ends. This ensures that the temptation to gamble is removed during your exclusion period.
How often can I change my deposit or loss limits?
You can adjust your deposit or loss limits at any time. However, any increase to an existing limit might take 24 hours to apply, while reductions are implemented immediately for your protection. This gives you a cooling-off period to reconsider any decision to increase limits.
Can I cancel my self-exclusion once it's in place?
Self-exclusion is a commitment to giving yourself a break. Once applied, it cannot be reversed until the selected period expires. This ensures that you have adequate time away from gambling to re-evaluate your habits and make healthier decisions.
Are reality checks intrusive during gameplay?
Reality checks are subtle reminders that help you track your playtime. They are designed to be unobtrusive, alerting you without disrupting your gaming experience. These checks help you stay aware of how long you've been playing, which can prevent excessive sessions.
Is there a minimum age to gamble at BetFury?
Yes, BetFury strictly adheres to an 18+ policy. You must be at least 18 years old to register and play at our casino. Age verification processes are in place to ensure compliance, safeguarding the platform against underage gambling.
