JeffBet Bet Smart Hub: Gambling Responsibly 

Welcome to the JeffBet Bet Smart Hub, where you’ll learn how to gamble responsibly while betting on sports and playing casino games. 

JeffBet is licensed and regulated by the UK Gambling Commission, and we follow strict rules and regulations when it comes to responsible gambling. 

We provide tools, tips, and resources to help all our customers bet within their means and enjoy the wagering experience at JeffBet.  

Below, we explain what we mean by responsible gambling and provide expert tips and tools to help you control your expenditure.  

What is Responsible Gambling? 

Responsible gambling is all about control. It’s a philosophy that everyone should follow when betting online, be it on sports or playing casino games. 

When you gamble responsibly, you set your limits, stick to them, and adjust your stake to preserve your bankroll for as long as possible. 

Crucial to this is not gambling more than you can afford to lose. It’s up to you to set your limits, as you know how much you earn and what you’re comfortable with gambling. 

Also important is understanding how gambling works. Each time you bet, you can win or lose. When you’ve spent your bankroll, it’s vital not to chase your losses, as this can lead to more substantial losses beyond your betting limits. 

Why is Responsible Gambling Important? 

Responsible gambling ensures that online betting can be fun, safe, and entertaining. Gambling is legal in the United Kingdom, as defined in the 2005 Gambling Act, so if you’re 18+, you can sign up, deposit, and wager at an online casino or sportsbook. 

That said, gambling can be addictive, so you must take responsibility for your well-being and welfare when betting online. Setting your limits and using tools to help you control your expenditure are crucial yet straightforward steps towards responsible gambling. 

JeffBet Tools to Help You Gamble Responsibly 

To help you gamble responsibly, we offer a suite of safe gambling tools. You can activate any of these tools from your JeffBet account: 

• Deposit limit: Determine how much you’re comfortable spending on gambling and set a deposit limit. You can set a daily, weekly, or monthly limit. 

• Loss limit: Set a pre-determined amount as your loss limit and don’t exceed this amount. This is a handy tool for preventing you from chasing after gambling losses. 

• Reality check: The immersive nature of online gambling means it’s easy to lose track of time. Activate a reality check at regular intervals, and a pop-up will appear to tell you how long you’ve been gambling for. 

• Time limit: Specify how long you would like to play for, and don’t exceed it. 

• Time out: If you want a temporary break from gambling at JeffBet, set a time-out period and take some time away. You can access your account when you’re ready to gamble again. 

• Self-exclusion: If you think you have a problem and would like to cease gambling at JeffBet, activate our self-exclusion tool and seek help from family and friends. 

Problem Gambling: Recognise the Signs 

Recognising the signs of problem gambling is the first step towards getting help. Problem gambling might look different from one case to another, but consider reaching out to a family member, friend, or help group if you recognise any of the following signs: 

Behavioural signs 

• You regularly exceed the gambling limits that you set 
• You can’t stop chasing your losses
• You hide the extent of your gambling from others 
• You stay at home because of the shame attached to your gambling habit 
• You spend more time gambling than you would like, instead of doing other activities 

Financial signs 

• You spend too much of your monthly earnings on gambling 
• You can’t afford to pay your mortgage, rent, or other bills because of betting online 
• You borrow money from friends or family to fund your gambling 
• You take out payday or short-term loans to pay for bets 
• Your bank account is overdrawn because of online gambling 

Emotional & psychological signs

• You experience low mood, depression, or anxiety because of your gambling 
• You are irritable and moody around your loved ones because of gambling losses 
• You feel guilty or ashamed because of your betting 
• You experience significant highs and lows after wins and losses, respectively 
• You are considering suicide or escaping from your family because of gambling 

Problem gambling and addiction are real. They can affect anyone at any time. You should not be ashamed if you find yourself with a problem. Instead, please seek help from your family or friends as a starting point.

Tips & Advice: How to Gamble Responsibly at JeffBet 

We hope you can enjoy gambling at JeffBet responsibly and in a fun way. Here are some of our expert tips and advice that may help you avoid problem gambling: 

• Start with your limits: Always set gambling limits. Whether you have £10, £20, or £100 per month to spend on gambling, acknowledge this and use our deposit tool to limit how much you can add to your JeffBet account. 

• Preserve your bankroll: We recommend spending no more than 1% to 3% of your total bankroll on each bet. So, if you have £100 to spend, limit your wagers to £1 to £3 to preserve your bankroll and keep it going for as long as possible. 

• Talk to friends and family: Don’t be ashamed of gambling, and be open with your friends and family regarding how much you spend. It’s essential to be open when you win and lose; keeping secrets can lead to problem gambling. 

• Use bonuses and promotions wisely: When used wisely, free bets and bonuses can be a good way of topping up your bankroll. Before cashing out, carefully read the terms and conditions and satisfy any wagering requirements.
