Responsible Gaming Policy
How Do We Commit to Responsible Gaming?
Gambling at an online casino should always be aimed at entertainment. However, there is a certain percentage of people who lose control over themselves while gambling. Before starting to play, it is important to realize that gambling shall never be viewed as a source of income or a means of recovery from debts. It is useful to keep track of the time and the amount of money spent at an online casino daily.
If you think that you'll start spending more money than you can afford, or in case gaming starts interfering with your normal daily routines, we strongly advise considering several measures that can help, such as setting limits on your gaming activities, opting for self-exclusion, and seeking help and support from trusted independent bodies. You can take the gambling addiction quiz to determine whether you are exhibiting signs of an addiction to gambling.
Understanding Problem Gambling
There are lots of activities that can become a problem if not done in moderation (for example, alcohol consumption, shopping, and playing video games). The same can occur with gaming. Signs of addiction are often hard to see in yourself or in another person and very often may not even be related to money. Gambling can be a symptom of a wider problem.
It may be that a game has become a means of escape or of not confronting another dilemma. It can be that the motivation is so subconscious that the person is not even aware of the real issues and the possible consequences. In that case, there is professional help available.
It is critically important to catch this kind of behavior early before the practical consequences have a chance to impact. Unfortunately for this disease, the symptoms are not just physical but can be financial and social.
Fortunately, most of us can bet and play happily all our lives without it ever becoming a problem.
Eight Rules for Safer Betting
We have eight rules for safer betting on our platform:
- Casino bets are just fun. They are not and never can be a career.
- Never double up just to win back losses.
- Set a daily, weekly, or monthly budget well within the limits of what you can afford to lose.
- Never play cards or casino for money when you are drunk, on drugs, tired or feeling down.
- Keep an eye on how long you are online and keep track of the bets you place.
- Take breaks to make sure you stay fresh.
- Set a budget before you start and stick to it.
- Enjoy yourself!

Responsible Gaming Tools
We provide several tools to help you maintain control over your gambling activities. These tools are designed to support responsible gaming and prevent problem gambling.
Deposit Limits
Deposit limits are part of our Responsible Gaming Policy and can help you to control the amount you spend. You can choose to implement a daily, weekly, or monthly limit. Alternatively, you can choose to implement a combination of these limits for extra control.
We recommend that members set a limit on the amount of money they spend. You can do this simply at "My Account" and then "Responsible Gaming" by inserting an amount in one or more of the "Daily Limit", "Weekly Limit" or "Monthly Limit" boxes. It is a good idea to give yourself a budget. This means that if you start to play more than you want to, you will be alerted.
If you set a deposit limit, any request by you to increase or remove that limit will not take effect for 24 hours. This is to give you a chance to have a period of time which will allow you to reconsider whether you really want to raise your deposit limit. If you make a request to lower your deposit limit before the relevant period has ended or to set a limit, this request will take effect immediately. You may also want to set Wagering Limits which will allow you to control the maximum amount you agree to wager in each time period.
Daily Limits
Daily limits are set for a period of 24 hours. As with all limits, they consider the amount deposited during the previous period. For example, if you have already made a deposit of €20 in the past 24 hours and you select a daily deposit limit of €20, you will not be able to deposit again until a further 24 hours have passed since your last deposit. If you have made a deposit of €10 in the past 24 hours and you select a daily deposit limit of €20, you will only be able to deposit a maximum of €10 until 24 hours have passed since your last deposit.
Weekly Limits
Weekly limits are set for a period of 168 hours. As with all limits, they consider the amount deposited during the previous period. For example, if you have already made a deposit of €20 in the past 168 hours and you select a weekly deposit limit of €20, you will not be able to deposit again until a further 168 hours have passed since your last deposit. If you have made a deposit of €10 in the past 168 hours and you select a weekly deposit limit of €20, you will only be able to deposit a maximum of €10 until 168 hours have passed since your last deposit.
Note: If you already have a daily limit in place and you set a weekly amount that is less than your daily limit, your daily limit will be deleted and only the weekly limit will be implemented. If your weekly deposit limit is set higher than your daily limit, you will not be able to exceed the weekly limit. For example, if your daily limit is set at €10 and your weekly limit is set at €20, you can deposit up to €10 per day for two days, but you will not be able to deposit more until 168 hours have passed since your last deposit.
Session Limits
The restriction takes effect instantly. If you hit the limit, you will be automatically logged out of your account. You can set session limits with a minimum duration of 6 minutes. This feature helps prevent extended gambling sessions that might lead to fatigue and poor decision-making.
Self-Exclusion
Need a break from honeybetz.com? To start the automated self-exclusion process, please click the button below to receive confirmation instructions via email.
Self-exclusion is a voluntary measure that allows you to exclude yourself from playing for a definite or indefinite timeframe. We encourage offering the following self-exclusion timeframes:
- 24 Hours
- 48 Hours
- 7 Days
- 30 Days
- 90 Days
- 180 Days
- 365 Days
- Indefinite
The self-exclusion process is always available and straightforward. A request for a new self-exclusion or extending a current exclusion will be implemented immediately, with no attempts to induce you to continue playing.
During a self-exclusion period, you will not be able to access gaming services. However, you will not be prevented from withdrawing funds from your account.
Removing a self-exclusion can only be implemented following your request. You will need to:
- Provide an explanation why the self-exclusion was requested.
- Provide evidence that you are now able to manage your gambling safely and sustainably.
When reopening an account, we encourage players to utilize responsible gaming tools. You may be granted access after at least a 24-hour cooling-off period for a definite exclusion, and 7 days for an indefinite exclusion.
Reality Checks
While playing, you can enable reality check notifications that will remind you how long you've been playing and how much you've spent. These periodic reminders help you stay aware of your gambling activity and make informed decisions about continuing or taking a break.
Account History
You can access detailed records of your gambling activity, including deposits, withdrawals, bets placed, and wins/losses. This transparency helps you understand your gambling patterns and maintain control over your behavior.

How to Tell If You Are at Risk
Recognizing the warning signs of problem gambling is the first step toward getting help. Ask yourself these questions:
- Do you spend more time or money gambling than you can afford?
- Do you feel the need to bet more money more frequently?
- Do you gamble to escape problems or relieve feelings of helplessness, guilt, anxiety, or depression?
- Have you tried to cut down or stop gambling but found yourself unable to do so?
- Have you lied to family members or others to hide your gambling?
- Have you committed or considered committing illegal acts to finance gambling?
- Have you neglected work, school, or family obligations because of gambling?
- Do you feel restless or irritable when trying to cut down or stop gambling?
If you answered "yes" to several of these questions, you may be at risk for problem gambling and should consider seeking help.
