Set a fixed budget
Use only money that is not needed for living expenses, savings or debt payments.
PLAY WITH LIMITS
Gaming should remain optional entertainment
Decide your time and spending limits before playing. Never treat gaming as income, a way to pay bills or a method for recovering previous losses.
Need a break?
Contact Live Chat to request an account pause. Ask support to explain the restriction options currently available for your account.
HEALTHY PLAY CHECKLIST
Ways to stay in control
Set a time limit
Decide when the session ends and take regular breaks away from the screen.
Do not chase losses
Increasing deposits or bets after a loss can create faster and larger harm.
Avoid impaired play
Do not play while stressed, upset, tired or affected by alcohol or other substances.
WARNING SIGNS
When to stop and seek support
- Spending more money or time than planned

PERSONAL LIMIT PLAN
Set the boundary before opening a game
Choose a spending amount
Decide the maximum amount that can be lost without affecting rent, food, bills, savings, debt payments or another person's money.
Choose an end time
Set a clear session end time and use an alarm or calendar reminder. Do not extend the session simply because the last result was a loss.
Limit access to funds
Avoid keeping extra payment options ready for an impulsive deposit. Do not borrow money or use credit intended for another purpose.
Plan regular breaks
Step away from the screen, check the time and review the amount already spent before deciding whether to continue within the original limit.
Separate gaming from income
Do not include expected winnings in a household or business budget. A promotion, rebate or previous result does not create predictable income.
Record the real result
Look at total deposits, withdrawals and time across the full period rather than remembering only the largest win or most recent session.
SELF-CHECK
Questions to ask before continuing
- Have I spent more money or time than I planned?
- Am I depositing mainly to recover a previous loss?
- Have I hidden activity or been dishonest about the amount involved?
- Am I using money needed for bills, debt, savings or another person?
- Has gaming affected sleep, work, study, relationships or health?
- Do I feel restless, angry or unable to stop when I try to take a break?
- Am I relying on cashback, commission or a future win to solve a financial problem?
If several answers are yes
Stop depositing and playing, speak to someone you trust and contact support or an independent service. A break is a protective decision, not a failure.
TAKING A BREAK
Make the pause practical and clear
Contact GDBET support
Ask Live Chat to explain the account-pause or restriction options currently available, what access will change and how long the selected restriction applies.
Reduce payment access
Remove saved payment shortcuts where practical and speak directly with the relevant bank or payment service about available controls.
Tell a trusted person
Sharing the plan with someone who can check in makes it easier to maintain the boundary during a difficult moment.
Replace the routine
Plan another activity for the time normally spent gaming, especially during the first days of a break.
SUPPORTING SOMEONE ELSE
Focus on safety, facts and professional support
If you are worried about a friend or family member, choose a calm time, describe the specific behaviour you have noticed and avoid arguing about whether a future win will solve the problem. Do not lend money for gaming or take control of another person's account credentials. Encourage the person to contact an independent support service and seek urgent local help if there is an immediate risk of harm.
