Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming

Gambling is entertainment, not a source of income. While most people play within their means, some may encounter difficulties. Karhubet is dedicated to ensuring the safety and wellbeing of all players through robust measures. We provide tools to help manage your gaming experience effectively.

We implement several player protection features to support responsible behaviour. Deposit limits, time-outs, and self-exclusion options are available directly within your account. These tools empower you to set boundaries aligned with your financial and time constraints.

We also collaborate with professional organisations to support those affected by gambling harm. Our commitment extends beyond compliance, focusing on education and early intervention strategies. Players can access these resources through dedicated support links on our site.

Transparency remains central to our operations. We clearly communicate the odds and rules for all games to ensure informed decision-making. By maintaining high standards, we aim to provide a secure environment for entertainment.

Recognising Unhealthy Patterns

Identifying problem gambling early is the most effective way to prevent it from worsening. It is not always about the amount of money spent but rather the relationship with the activity and the consequences of participation. Some indicators are subtle and may be overlooked when a person is deeply involved in the game. Others are more obvious and signal that the current approach to gaming is unsustainable.

Financial and Emotional Indicators

Common signs include chasing losses in an attempt to recover previous funds. This behaviour often leads to further financial strain and heightened emotional distress. Players may also find themselves borrowing money to continue playing or neglecting essential bills to fund their account. Gambling to relieve a low mood is another frequent warning sign that indicates the activity has become a coping mechanism rather than a form of entertainment. These behaviours suggest that the control over the activity is slipping.

Social and Behavioural Changes

  • ✓Concealing the extent of play from family or friends
  • ✓Lying about the time or money spent on the site
  • ✓Feeling restless or irritable when unable to gamble
  • ✓Missing work or social commitments due to gaming
  • ✓Being unable to stop once a session has started

Recognising these signs does not automatically constitute a diagnosis but should be treated as a prompt to utilise the account tools. A person who notices one or two of these behaviours should consider setting a deposit limit or taking a break from the site immediately. The purpose of this list is not to judge but to provide a clear reference point for self-reflection. If these patterns persist or escalate, seeking external support is the recommended next step.

Setting Personal Limits

The most effective method of controlling your play is to set limits that are financially sustainable before you begin. These limits are set directly within the account settings and can be applied to deposits, losses, stakes, and session duration. They act as a hard barrier that prevents you from exceeding the amount you have decided is acceptable for a specific period. Adjusting these controls is a simple process that can be completed in minutes from your dashboard.

Types of Limits Available

Each type of limit serves a specific purpose in managing different aspects of your gaming session. A deposit limit restricts the funds you can add to your account over a chosen timeframe. A loss limit caps the amount you can lose within that same period, protecting your bankroll from depletion. Stake limits control the size of individual bets, ensuring that a single wager cannot deplete your balance rapidly. Session reminders prompt you to take a break after a set duration of continuous play.

LimitWhat it capsWhen it applies
Deposit LimitTotal funds addedDaily, Weekly, or Monthly
Loss LimitNet loss amountDaily, Weekly, or Monthly
Stake LimitBet size per roundImmediate
Session LimitTime spent playingImmediate

A critical feature of these tools is the asymmetry between increasing and reducing limits. Any reduction to a limit takes effect immediately to ensure protection is in place without delay. Conversely, any increase to a limit is subject to a cooling-off period to prevent impulsive decisions during a winning streak. This delay is designed to give you time to reconsider whether the higher amount is truly necessary. We strongly advise users to set these limits at a level they are comfortable with for the long term.

Taking Time Off or Excluding Yourself

If you feel that standard limits are no longer sufficient to control your activity, you may need to take a step back from the platform entirely. There are two distinct options available for this purpose: a time-out and full self-exclusion. The choice between them depends on whether you intend to return to the site in the near future or require a longer period of abstinence. Both options result in the immediate blocking of your account access.

Time-Outs vs Self-Exclusion

MeasureDurationReversibility
Time-Out1 to 6 monthsReversible after notice period
Self-Exclusion6 months to 5 yearsIrrevocable during term

A time-out is intended for a short break where you may return to play later. During this period, your account is suspended and you cannot log in to place bets or claim winnings. Self-exclusion is a more permanent measure that locks your account for a significant duration. Once a self-exclusion period begins, it cannot be lifted early, even if you change your mind. This deliberate restriction is in place to prevent relapse during a moment of weakness.

When you exclude yourself, we also stop all marketing communications to ensure you are not tempted by promotional offers. Your remaining balance remains in your account and can be withdrawn using our standard withdrawal methods once you have verified your identity. You may contact support to arrange a payout if needed, but the account itself will remain inaccessible. Please note that the terms of the self-exclusion are legally binding and must be respected by the operator.

Checking Your Activity History

Reviewing your account history is a practical way to understand your actual spending habits over time. Many players underestimate the amount of money they have wagered or lost when they are focused on the immediate game. By pulling up your transaction statements, you can see the full picture of your financial movements. This data provides an objective view of your play that is not influenced by the highs or lows of a specific session.

Look for patterns in your activity that might not be apparent in the moment. Check how often you deposit funds and compare that against your total withdrawals. If you find that your deposits consistently exceed your withdrawals over a long period, it may indicate that your gaming strategy is not sustainable. This is a neutral assessment of the numbers rather than a judgement on your behaviour.

The account history also allows you to see the frequency of your sessions and the average duration of your play. If you notice that you are logging in multiple times a day or staying on the site for hours at a time, this is useful information. It helps you determine whether your play is fitting into your life or if it is consuming a disproportionate amount of your time. This insight is the first step in making a more informed decision about your future engagement.

Make reviewing your history a regular habit rather than a crisis measure. Checking your statements once a week can help you catch any drift in your spending before it becomes a problem. This proactive approach aligns with the broader responsibility we share to keep gaming within manageable limits. If the data reveals a concerning trend, it is the appropriate time to use the limits or exclusion tools described elsewhere on this page.

Safeguarding Underage Players

It is a legal requirement that all gambling activities on this platform are restricted to adults who meet the statutory minimum age. We enforce strict age verification procedures to ensure that no individual under the legal age can register an account or deposit funds. This is a fundamental aspect of our commitment to responsible gaming and protecting young people from the risks associated with gambling. The minimum age is determined by the jurisdiction in which the player is located.

Verification is typically carried out during the registration process by requesting valid documentation. This ensures that the person creating the account is who they claim to be and that they are of legal age to gamble. Without successful verification, the account remains inactive and cannot be used for any betting activities. This process prevents minors from bypassing restrictions or using the accounts of family members.

Adults who share devices with minors should take extra precautions to protect their accounts. This includes not storing login credentials on the device and using strong, unique passwords. Additionally, parents can install filtering software on their home internet connections to block access to gambling sites entirely. These technical barriers provide a layer of protection that works alongside the operator's own verification checks.

We encourage parents and guardians to be aware of their children's online activities and to monitor their internet usage. If you suspect that a minor is attempting to access gambling services, you should contact our support team immediately. We will investigate the matter and take appropriate action to secure the account and the platform. The safety of young people is our highest priority and we will not hesitate to enforce these measures.

Independent Support Resources

If you or someone you know is struggling with gambling, independent organisations are available to provide free and confidential support. These groups are separate from the operator and are dedicated solely to helping individuals manage their gambling habits. They offer a range of services including helplines, online chat support, counselling, and peer support groups. Their expertise is focused on the psychological and financial impacts of problem gambling.

The type of support available depends on your specific location and the needs of the individual. Some regions have national helplines that operate 24 hours a day, while others may have local charities that provide face-to-face counselling. Many of these services also offer information for friends and family members who are supporting someone with a gambling addiction. The goal is to provide a safe space where you can discuss your situation without judgement.

It is important to seek help from these external organisations rather than relying solely on the operator's tools. While our limits and exclusion features are effective, professional support can provide the deeper guidance needed to address the root causes of the behaviour. These services are free at the point of use and are often anonymous, which can encourage more people to reach out. You do not need to have a formal diagnosis to contact them.

To find the right support for your situation, search for gambling help organisations in your country of residence. Many of these websites have directories that list local services and contact details. If you are in immediate distress, do not wait for the next appointment to make contact. Calling a helpline or sending an email is a positive step that can lead to effective management of the problem. Support is available and recovery is possible.
