Affiliate Responsibility
Ask yourself:
Can I afford this?
Will losing this money impact my finances?
Am I chasing losses?
If the answer to any is “yes”, pause and reassess.
Use the Tools Available to You
All UK-licensed bookmakers must provide tools to help you stay in control. These may include:
Deposit limits – control how much you can spend
Loss limits – cap the amount you can lose
Time-outs – take short breaks of 24 hours to 6 weeks
Reality checks – on-screen reminders of time spent
Product blocks – restrict access to certain gambling types
Self-exclusion – voluntarily block access for longer periods
We strongly encourage all Compare.bet users to explore and use these tools.
