Responsible Gaming
Gambling Should Be Fun, Not a Way to Make Money
At Betway, we believe that gambling should only ever be treated as entertainment—similar to going to the cinema or watching a sports match. It should never be viewed as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Please gamble responsibly and only with money you can afford to lose.
Age Verification
Gambling is only legal for individuals aged 18 years or older in Great Britain. Betway is committed to preventing underage gambling. If you are under 18, you must not use our services. Parents and guardians are encouraged to use parental controls to prevent unauthorised access.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Please be aware of the following warning signs, which may indicate problem gambling:
- Spending more time or money on gambling than intended
- Chasing losses (gambling more to recover money lost)
- Hiding gambling activities from family, friends, or partners
- Neglecting work, school, or personal relationships due to gambling
- Borrowing money to gamble or pay gambling debts
- Feeling anxious or irritable when unable to gamble
- Using gambling to escape problems or negative emotions
- Failed attempts to reduce or stop gambling
- Lying about the extent of gambling involvement
- Experiencing financial difficulties due to gambling
If you recognise any of these signs in your own behaviour, please seek help immediately.
