Set Deposit Limit

From your Sportbook account settings, you can set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits. Limits take effect immediately once set.

Real-Time Monitoring

Sportbook's system automatically detects unusual betting patterns, and our customer support team will reach out directly if needed.

View Betting History

Your full betting history, along with all deposit and withdrawal records, is available in your account at any time — the best way to keep track of your habits.

Age Verification System

Sportbook follows a strict age verification process. No one under the age of 18 is permitted to open an account under any circumstances.

Betting is for entertainment only. Don't treat it as a source of income or a way to solve problems. If you feel betting is having a negative impact on your life, please contact us at support@sportbook.im.

1 What Is Responsible Gaming

Responsible gaming means enjoying betting as a fun form of entertainment while staying in control. At Sportbook, we believe the real enjoyment comes when every player plays mindfully and within their limits.

The core principles of responsible gaming are:

  • Remembering that betting is entertainment, not a reliable way to make money.
  • Set a budget in advance and never exceed that limit.
  • Not chasing losses by placing bigger bets to win back what you've lost.
  • Never bet while under the influence of alcohol or any other substance.
  • Not letting betting take priority over family, friends, or work.
  • Regularly reviewing your own betting history.

Sportbook gives every user the tools and opportunity to play responsibly. We want you to enjoy the game today — and tomorrow too.

Keep in mind: Responsible gambling isn't just about you — it's about your family too. Your well-being is what makes Sportbook successful.

2 Recognize the Signs of Problem Gambling

It's not always easy to recognise when betting stops being fun and starts becoming a problem. Watch out for these warning signs:

Financial Warning Signs
  • Betting with household money
  • Borrowing or secretly taking money
  • Chasing losses with bigger bets
  • Unpaid bills or debts due to betting
Emotional Signs
  • Excessive anger or depression after a loss
  • Lying about betting
  • Feeling restless or anxious when unable to play
  • Unable to stop playing
Social Signs
  • Withdrawing from family and friends
  • Neglecting work or studies
  • Skipping social events to bet
  • Hiding betting from family
Behavioral Signs
  • Betting late into the night instead of sleeping
  • Gradually increasing bet amounts
  • Losing interest in everything else
  • Trying to stop but repeatedly coming back

If you notice any of these signs in yourself, don't feel ashamed or afraid — reach out for help. It's not a sign of weakness; asking for help takes courage. Sportbook is always here for you.

3 Set Your Own Limits

You can easily set your own betting limits directly from your account settings at Sportbook. It's the most effective way to play responsibly.

1
Deposit Limit

Set how much you want to deposit daily, weekly, or monthly. Decreasing your limit takes effect immediately, but increasing it requires a 24-hour waiting period.

2
Loss Limit

Set a maximum loss amount before you start. Once you hit that limit, Sportbook will automatically stop your betting.

3
Session Limit

Set how long you want to play in a single session. You'll receive a warning when your time is up, and automatic logout can kick in if needed.

4
Reality Check

At set intervals, Sportbook will remind you how long you've been playing and how much you've won or lost.

Tips: Set your limits when you're calm and clear-headed — before or after playing, not during. That's when you make the best decisions.

4 Self-Exclusion

Sometimes stepping back is the best solution. Sportbook's self-exclusion feature lets you fully close your account for a set period of time.

Exclusion Period Who It's For Reactivate
30 Days Want to take a short break Auto-renews on expiry
3 Months Extended Breaks & Reassessment Auto-renews on expiry
6 Months Experiencing a serious problem Application Required
1 Year For overcoming long-term issues Application Required
5 Years / Permanent Want to permanently stop betting Cannot be reopened

While self-exclusion is active, Sportbook will not send any marketing messages. Any funds remaining in your account will remain safe.

To activate self-exclusion, email support@sportbook.im or do it directly from your account settings. Once activated, it cannot be cancelled before the period ends.
