Set limits before you start
Set limits, enjoy the game. According to the NBA’s information website, by law every betting website must offer:
- A money limit: the most you can bet or lose in a period, e.g. €40 a month.
- A time limit: when and for how long you can play.
- Self-exclusion: your account blocked for a set or indefinite period.
Self-exclusion from every operator: exclusion.cy
exclusion.cy is the National Self-Exclusion Platform. Instead of closing your accounts one by one, you ask for exclusion there. On every legal operator’s profile we show the self-protection tools we have verified.
Help
- 1454: helpline for people aged 22 and over.
- 1456: helpline for young people up to 22.
