If you are concerned that gambling may have taken over your (or someone else’s) life then the following questions may help you to find out:

1. Do you gamble to escape from a boring or unhappy life?
2. When gambling and you run out of money, do you feel lost and in despair and need to gamble again as soon as possible?
3. Do you gamble until your last penny is gone - even the fare home or the cost of a cup of tea?
4. Have you ever lied to cover up the amount of money or time you have spent gambling?
5. Have you lost interest in your family, friends or hobbies because of your gambling?
6. After losing, do you feel you must try and win back your losses as soon as possible?
7. Do arguments, frustrations or disappointments make you want to gamble?
8. Do you feel depressed or feel that you are likely to harm yourself because of your gambling?

The more you answered ‘yes’ to these questions, the more likely you are to have a serious gambling problem.

To speak to someone about this, you can contact Customer Service or there are a number of Support Organisations available to help with free and independent advice.

If you or someone you know has a gambling problem we advise that you consider assistance from one of these recognised organisations:

We at 10bet encourage our Customers to actively participate in the management of their gambling account, so we offer a variety of responsible gaming features.

3.1. Set Financial Limits

This facility allows you to manage the amount of money that you can deposit into your account.

To help you set limits that are right for you, think about these questions:

1. How big a loss are you prepared to accept, before you start gambling?
2. How often do you play?
3. How long is your average gaming session?

Use your answers to determine how much you would like to allow yourself to spend per day, per week or per month.

Deposit limits may be set for the following periods:

• Daily – calculated on a 24-hour basis
• Weekly – calculated on a 7-day basis
• Monthly – calculated on a 30-day basis

At your request, deposit limits may be decreased, increased or removed entirely. An increase or complete removal of deposit limits will only take effect after a 24 hour cooling-off period has elapsed, whilst a decrease to your deposit limits will come into effect immediately. You may only have one deposit limit in place at a time.

When you first register an account at 10bet, you will be presented with the opportunity to set daily, weekly or monthly deposit limits. You can then set or adjust the limit settings yourself either via the Details/Limits feature within the Website or by contacting Customer Service.

3.2. Take a Break (Time-Out)

At 10bet we understand that a Customer’s personal and/or financial circumstances may change and that there will be times when it makes sense to take a break from gambling. You can take a break by requesting one of the following Time-Out periods:

• 24 hours
• 1 week
• 1 month
• 6 weeks or
• any other period of up to six weeks

You can either set the break period yourself via the Details/Limits feature within the Website or by contacting Customer Service and asking for a Time-Out period to be applied to your Customer account. Upon receipt of your request, 10bet will take the necessary measures to temporarily suspend your account held with 10bet until the Time-Out period has expired. The requested Time-Out shall also be applied to any other Customer accounts that you hold with the Operator, including those held in respect of other brands.

Once you begin your Time-Out period, you will not be able to access your Customer account, although you will still be able to withdraw any remaining balance by contacting Customer Service. It will not be possible to reactivate your account until the Time-Out period has ended.

Your Time-Out will come into effect immediately once you confirm it and shall remain in place until its period expires.

If you want to prevent yourself from gambling for a longer period of time you should use our Self-Exclusion option (set out in section 3.4 below).

Please note that upon your chosen Time-Out period expiring, your account will be automatically re-activated and you will once again be able to access your Customer account in order to Participate at 10bet.

3.3. Reality Check

The Reality Check facility allows you to set the frequency at which you will see a Reality Check on the screen within your gaming session at 10bet. A Reality Check means a display of the time elapsed since your session began. The Reality Check shall only apply to you gaming session with 10bet and not any other account that you hold with the Operator.

When you first register an account at 10bet, you will be presented with the opportunity to set your desired interval for the Reality Check. You can always set, adjust, or check the time until your next Reality Check, either via the Reality Check feature within the Website or by contacting Customer Service. When the Reality Check appears, you will be presented with the option to change the interval, see your wagering history or Logout.

3.4. Stop Gambling – Self-Exclusion

If you feel that your gambling has become problematic, you have the ability to self-exclude yourself either via the automated self-exclusion feature within the Website or by contacting Customer Service and requesting a self-exclusion period be applied to your account.

Please note that if you commence the self-exclusion process through the automated self-exclusion feature on our Website, the self-exclusion will not take effect until you confirm it and complete the process.

The following Self-Exclusion periods are available:

• 6 months
• 1 year
• 2 years
• 5 years or
• any other period over six months

Your self-exclusion will come into effect immediately once you confirm it and shall remain in place until you actively request it after its period expires.

During the period of self-exclusion it will not be possible to re-open your account for any reason, and 10bet will always do all it can to detect and close any new duplicate accounts that you may open. Once the self-exclusion is applied, we will mark you as an individual to whom marketing materials must not be sent within no more than two days of receiving the completed self-exclusion notification. We will do all that we can to prevent you from opening another account with us, but also ask that you avoid trying to open another account.

Should you decide to self-exclude from 10bet, we will automatically apply the self-exclusion to all other of your Customer accounts held with other brands managed by Blue Star Planet Limited, the Operator of 10bet. We strongly recommend that you also seek exclusion from all other betting operators you have an account with.

Upon entering into a self-exclusion agreement with the Operator, any funds held in your Casino Buy-In Account and/or Main Cash Account shall be returned to you. The minimum return amount shall be one (1) currency unit, for example £1.00. Any unsettled bets held with the Operator at the time that you enter into self-exclusion will be settled on the result of the event. If your bet is a winner, your winnings will be automatically withdrawn to your applicable credit/debit card or other financial account from which the funds were deposited.

We also suggest that if you use social media channels, you should take steps to ensure that you don’t receive our news or updates. We recommend that, during a period of self-exclusion, you seek additional support and advice from one of the Support Organisations (set out at section 2 above).

Please note that upon your selected self-exclusion period expiring, your account will not automatically be re-activated. The account may only be considered for re-activation by 10bet if you actively request it, and in any event, will only come into effect after a further 24 hour cooling-off period has elapsed. Further, upon the reactivation of your account, marketing materials shall continue to not be sent to you, unless you have asked for or agreed to accept such material.

If you are a resident of the United Kingdom and consider self-exclusion, you may wish to register with GAMSTOP.

GAMSTOP is a free service that enables you to self-exclude from participating online gambling companies licensed in Great Britain.

To find out more and to sign up with GAMSTOP please visit www.gamstop.co.uk.

3.5. Activity Statement

Information relating to your gaming, including your account balance, gambling history (including bet amounts, winnings and losses), deposits, withdrawals and other related transactions at 10bet can be viewed via the My Account menu feature within the Website or by contacting Customer Service.

With the Internet so readily accessible via mobile devices and in homes around the world, responsible online gambling relies heavily on parental control and supervision. In order to ensure child safety on the internet, 10bet encourages its Customers to make use of filtering software to prevent minors from accessing inappropriate online material.

10bet offers the following tips for parents:

• Keep your 10bet Username and password safe.
• Do not leave your computer unattended when logged in to your 10bet account.
• Do not allow persons under 18 to participate in any gambling activity.
• Keep your credit/debit cards and other financial account details out of reach of children.
• Do not save passwords on your computer. Write them down and keep them in a safe place, away from minors.
• Do not use the “Remember Me” feature if you access 10bet from a shared computer, especially if you share your computer with children.
• Educate your children about the illegality and the potential damage caused by underage gambling.
• Take particular care regarding the use by minors of all electronic and mobile devices.
• Make use of filtering software to prevent your children from accessing inappropriate material, including gambling sites.

Underage gambling is not only illegal, but can also result in early gambling dependency and substantial gambling debts incurred by unsupervised children.

So, if you share your mobile phone, tablet, laptop or computer with friends or family who are under the legal age to participate in online gambling, 10bet recommends that you restrict their access to our Website by using one of the below services:

Netnanny.com - filtering software that protects children from inappropriate web content.

Cybersitter.com - filtering software which allows parents to add their own sites to block.

betterinternetforkids.eu - a website which is co-funded by the EU and provides information about internet filter software and also offers a free test version.

Other Important Tips:

Make sure that the decision to gamble is your own personal choice.

We suggest that you don’t gamble if:

• it interferes with your daily responsibilities; 
• you are being treated or are in recovery for a dependency; 
• you are under the influence of alcohol or any other substance; 
• you are attempting to win back previous losses; or
• your primary purpose is to recoup your debt with your winnings.

Before you start gaming at 10bet, we recommend that you familiarise yourself with the rules of the games and, in the case of our Casino, try our “Practice Play” mode.

Should you ever suspect that a Customer is colluding with another Customer or cheating in any way, please notify 10bet by contacting Customer Service immediately.

Introduction

When you visit or access our websites or applications operated by us, or when you interact or engage with our content (“Services”), we use (and authorize third parties to use) web beacons, cookies, pixel tags, scripts, tags, API and other technologies ("Tracking Technologies").

The Tracking Technologies allow us to automatically collect information about you and your online behavior, as well as your device (for example your computer or mobile device), in order to enhance your navigation on our Services, improve our Services performance and customize your experience on our Services. We also use this information to collect statistics about the usage of our Services, perform analytics, deliver content which is tailored to your interests and administer services to our users, advertisers, publishers, customers and partners.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files (composed only of letters and numbers) that a web server places on your computer or mobile device when you visit a webpage. When used, the cookie can help make our Services more user-friendly, for example by remembering your language preferences and settings.

Cookies remember your preferences, and make the interaction between you and the Services smoother and more efficient. Cookies are also used to help ensure that the advertisements you see online are relevant to you and your interests.

Storing Tracking Technologies

We store Tracking Technologies when you visit or access our Services (for example when you are visiting our websites) – these are called "First Party Tracking Technologies". In addition, Tracking Technologies are stored by other third parties (for example our analytics service providers, business partners and advertisers) who run content on our Services – these are called "Third Party Tracking Technologies".

Both types of Tracking Technologies may be stored either for the duration of your visit on our Services or for repeat visits.

What types of Tracking Technologies do we use?

There are five main types of Tracking Technologies:

• Strictly Necessary Tracking Technologies –
  These Tracking Technologies are essential to enable you to login, navigate around and use the features of our Services, or to provide a service requested by you (such as your username). We do not need to obtain your consent in order to use these Tracking Technologies. These Tracking Technologies can be used for security and integrity reasons - for example to detect violation of our policies and for support or security features.
• Functionality Tracking Technologies – These Tracking Technologies allow our Services to remember choices you make (such as your language) and provide enhanced and personalized features. For example, these Tracking Technologies are used for authentication (to remember when you are logged-in) and support other features of our Services.
• Performance Tracking Technologies – These Tracking Technologies collect information about your online activity (for example the duration of your visit on our Services), including behavioral data and content engagement metrics. These Tracking Technologies are used for analytics, research and to perform statistics (based on aggregated information).
• Marketing or Advertising Tracking Technologies – These Tracking Technologies are used to deliver tailored offers and advertisements to you, based on your derived interests, as well as to perform email marketing campaigns. They can also be used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement as well as help measure the effectiveness of the advertising campaign. They are usually placed by our advertisers (for example advertising networks) and provide them insights about the people who see and interact with their ads, visit their websites or use their app.
• Social media Tracking Technologies – Our website includes social media features, such as the Facebook "Like" or "Share" buttons. These features are either hosted by a third party or hosted directly on our Services. Your interactions with these features are governed by the privacy statement of the company providing these features.
