At JeffBet, we take responsible gambling seriously. Our betting site is licensed and regulated by the UK Gambling Commission, and we follow strict policies and procedures relating to responsible gambling.
As part of our commitment to responsible betting, we offer a suite of tools you can activate via your account to control your expenditure and limit your losses.
Discover which responsible gambling tools you can use for smarter play and learn how to use them effectively.
What Are Responsible Gambling Tools?
You can use responsible gambling tools to set your betting limits, control your expenditure, and even exclude yourself from a website for a specific period.
At JeffBet, responsible gambling tools are available to all players and are free and easy to use. After logging in to your account, you can access them via the responsible gambling tab.
You don’t necessarily need to use all our responsible gambling tools while betting online, but you can if you wish.
Which Responsible Gambling Tools Can I Use at JeffBet?
We’ve created several tools for you to gamble responsibly at JeffBet:
| Tool | How it Works |
| Deposit Limit | Set a cap on how much you can deposit into your JeffBet account daily, weekly, or monthly. |
| Loss Limit | Enter the amount you’re comfortable losing, and don’t exceed this number. Again, you can set daily, weekly, or monthly loss limits. |
| Time Limit | Set session time limits to avoid excessive online gambling. You will be automatically logged out of your account when the session is over. |
| Reality Check | Receive gentle pop-up reminders to take a break after a specific period of gameplay (e.g., every 15 or 30 minutes). |
| Time Out | Take a temporary break from playing at JeffBet, be it a week, a month, or even longer. |

The Pros & Cons of Responsible Gambling Tools
Responsible gambling tools are undoubtedly helpful, but they should be part of your broader, considered approach to online betting. Here’s an overview of the pros and cons of these tools, giving you pause for thought before activating them:
| Pros | Cons |
| ✅ More control: Control your expenditure and bet within your means. | ❌ Problem gambling: Tools alone don’t necessarily prevent problem gambling – a broader responsible gambling strategy is required. |
| ✅ Bankroll preservation: Deposit & loss limits help to preserve your bankroll. | ❌ False sense of security: Tools can lull you into a false sense of security, particularly if you’re already spending beyond your means. |
| ✅ Time management: Reality checks and time limits help you play for a reasonable period. |
Ultimately, using these tools is a significant first step towards betting within your means. But don’t rest on your laurels; use our tools as part of your responsible gambling strategy, which should also include:
- An understanding of how online betting works – you can win or lose each time you place a wager.
- A constant review of your betting limits, based on your disposable income and risk tolerance.
- Agree to our terms and conditions.
- An open dialogue with family and friends about your gambling habits.
- A willingness to use external resources for confidential gambling support if required.
