Betting on sports and playing real-money online casino games is entertaining, provided you bet within your means and gamble responsibly.
However, if you feel like you’ve been gambling too much recently, you may wish to take a break from betting. Here, we explain how to take some time away from JeffBet and show you how to use our time-out and self-exclusion tools.
Taking a Break From Online Gambling: How it Can Help
Taking some time away from gambling can help you in the following ways:
- It can help restore clarity in your decision-making.
- You can save money by not adding to your online betting account balance.
- It will give you time to re-evaluate your approach to online gambling.
You don’t necessarily need to be addicted to gambling to take some time away. Whether for a few days, weeks, or months, this period of self-exclusion can help you re-evaluate your decision-making and implement a responsible approach to online gambling.
Tools to Help You Take a Break
JeffBet is a legitimate online betting site, regulated by the UK Gambling Commission. As such, we take responsible gambling seriously and offer a suite of tools to help you stay in control. We also provide the following tools to help you take a break:
Time Out
You can temporarily block your account and take a short timeout from JeffBet. You can take 24 hours, one week, or one month away. Alternatively, set a customised time-out period of up to six weeks.
Our time-out blocker tool makes it easy to take a break when you’ve been playing too much. You can activate it by logging into your account and heading to the Responsible Gambling tab.
Self Exclusion
If you need a longer break than six weeks, our self-exclusion tool is for you. You can self-exclude from JeffBet and all associated communication and marketing for periods ranging from six months to five years.
This blocks your JeffBet account and cannot be reversed until the period is over. As soon as you activate the self-exclusion block, you won’t be able to access your JeffBet account for any reason, and you won’t receive any marketing or communication from us.
GamStop
While our time-out and self-exclusion tools help you take a break from JeffBet, they don’t prevent you from accessing other online casinos and sportsbooks. This is where GamStop comes in.
