Responsible Gaming at Pitbet Casino
Last updated: March 2026 · UKGC Compliant
We built Pitbet Casino for players who enjoy gambling as entertainment. That's the keyword: entertainment. When gambling stops being fun and starts causing stress, anxiety, or financial harm, it's no longer entertainment — and that's when our responsible gaming tools matter most. We hold a UKGC licence, which means we're legally required to provide robust player protection systems. But we go beyond minimum compliance because we genuinely care about the players who use our platform. Every tool described on this page is available to all registered players at any time, free of charge, from your account settings. For general responsible gambling guidance, BeGambleAware is the UK's primary resource.
Deposit Limits — Control Your Spending
We offer daily, weekly, and monthly deposit limits — set in your account under Responsible Gaming. These limits apply to all deposit methods simultaneously. Once set, a limit reduction takes effect immediately. A limit increase has a mandatory 24-hour delay before it activates — this cooling-off period is intentional and required by UKGC regulations. We won't override this delay for any reason. We recommend setting deposit limits at registration before you start playing — it's much easier to set a sensible cap when you're calm and in control than to try and set one when you're in the middle of an exciting session. GamCare can help you decide what limits make sense for your situation.
Loss Limits & Session Limits
Beyond deposit limits, we offer loss limits (the maximum you can lose in a set period) and session time limits (the maximum duration of a single gaming session). Session time reminders pop up at intervals you specify — e.g., every 30 minutes — giving you a reality check on how long you've been playing. These are optional but we encourage all players to use them. Research consistently shows that players who use session reminders maintain healthier gambling habits long-term. Both limits are available from Account Settings → Responsible Gaming and take effect immediately upon setting. The UKGC mandates that all licensed casinos offer these tools — we offer them and actively promote their use.
Self-Exclusion — Taking a Break
If you need to step back from gambling entirely, we offer two self-exclusion options. A temporary cool-off period (1 day to 6 weeks) blocks access to your account for the specified period — you can't log in, deposit, or play. At the end of the period, your account reactivates automatically. Longer self-exclusion starts at 6 months and goes up to 5 years or permanent closure. Longer self-exclusion requires a short delay to reopen and active confirmation from you — we won't simply reopen it at the end of the minimum period without your explicit request. We're integrated with GAMSTOP, the national self-exclusion scheme — if you've registered with GAMSTOP, we will block your access regardless of your Pitbet account status. No exceptions and no workarounds. Visit GAMSTOP.co.uk to register for national self-exclusion.

Protecting Underage Players
We strictly enforce 18+ age verification. Every new account undergoes age verification checks, and we use automated systems to flag accounts where the registered age doesn't match payment method data. If an account is suspected to belong to someone under 18, it's suspended immediately pending investigation. We also recommend that adults sharing households with children or young people use parental control software to prevent access to gambling sites. UK-approved tools include GamCare's NetNanny guidance, which provides advice on filtering software. No legitimate casino allows underage gambling — if you suspect an underage person has created an account, contact us immediately.
Our Commitment
Gambling should be a form of entertainment — never a solution to financial problems or emotional distress. If you're gambling to escape problems, that's a warning sign worth taking seriously. Our responsible gaming team is available via live chat 24/7 to discuss any concerns without judgement. Everything stays confidential.
