Responsible Gaming

OBSERVE: Gambling on favs.bet (service version: Fav Bet) is designed as paid entertainment only, never as a way to earn income. EXPAND: Responsible gaming means making conscious decisions about when, how long and how much you play, keeping gambling within strict personal limits and separate from essential finances. REFLECT: This page explains the tools, policies and external resources available to help you stay in control or stop gambling altogether if needed.

Fav Bet at favs.bet commits to supporting players who wish to manage their gambling or who are worried about harm. If you are a resident of Great Britain or otherwise subject to the UK Gambling Commission (UKGC), you must not register or gamble on favs.bet because the operator does not hold a UKGC licence; however, you can and should use the UK support resources listed on this page.

Risk Awareness

OBSERVE: Gambling harm usually develops gradually and can affect finances, health, relationships and work. EXPAND: Recognising early warning signs is essential so that you can act before problems become severe. REFLECT: Use the indicators and self-check below to assess your current behaviour honestly.

Common Signs Of Problem Gambling

• Thinking about betting or favs.bet (Fav Bet) most of the time, even when you are at work, at school or with family.
• Betting more frequently or for longer sessions than you originally planned, especially late at night or when feeling stressed.
• Chasing losses by increasing stake size or playing "until you get even".
• Spending money on gambling that was meant for rent, bills, food or debts.
• Hiding or lying about gambling, bank statements or time spent online.
• Borrowing money, using overdrafts or new credit to fund betting.
• Feeling irritable, anxious, guilty or depressed when you cannot gamble or after you have gambled.

Quick Self-Assessment Checklist

Read the statements below and ask yourself whether they are "Never", "Sometimes" or "Often" true:

• I gamble with money that I cannot comfortably afford to lose.
• I need to increase my stakes to feel the same excitement as before.
• I have tried to cut down or stop gambling but found it difficult.
• I feel restless or bad-tempered when I attempt to reduce my gambling.
• I gamble to escape worries, problems, loneliness or low mood.
• My gambling has caused arguments, secrecy or loss of trust with people close to me.
• I have missed work, studies or important obligations because of gambling.

If you answered "Sometimes" or "Often" to several statements, you may be at risk of gambling-related harm. Consider using the limits, self-exclusion and external support options described below immediately.

Limits & Tools

OBSERVE: Clear, pre-set limits are one of the most effective ways to keep gambling under control. EXPAND: favs.bet (Fav Bet) aims to provide in-account tools such as deposit limits, session reminders and time-outs, and you should also use independent financial and device controls. REFLECT: Combine operator tools with your own rules and external blocks for the strongest protection.

Deposit Limits (Daily, Weekly, Monthly)

1. Access your account: Log in to your favs.bet account associated with Fav Bet.
2. Navigate to limits: Open "My Account" or "Profile", then look for a section such as "Responsible Gambling", "Limits" or similar.
3. Select deposit limits: Choose the option to set daily, weekly and/or monthly deposit limits.
4. Enter your amounts: Type a maximum amount you can afford to lose within each period (for example: £20 per day, £50 per week, £150 per month). Always choose conservative figures based only on disposable income.
5. Confirm and wait: Save the new limits. Decreases should apply as soon as technically possible; increases, if allowed, should only take effect after a cooling-off period (typically at least 24 hours) and after a conscious confirmation.

If any of these tools are not visible in your favs.bet account, treat that absence as a signal to control your activity manually (for example through your bank's gambling blocks) and consider self-exclusion or stopping play entirely.

Time Spent Limits & Session Timers

• Within the same "Responsible Gambling" area, look for a session timer or time limit feature.
• Set a maximum continuous play period (for example, 30, 45 or 60 minutes). After this time, a pop-up should appear reminding you to stop or take a break.
• Use these reminders together with your own alarms on your phone or computer so that you stand up, leave the device and do something non-gambling related.

Short "Time-Out" Breaks (24-72 Hours)

1. Locate Time-Out: In your account's responsible gaming section, select "Time-Out" or "Short Break" if available.
2. Choose the duration: Select a cooling-off period such as 24 hours, 48 hours or 72 hours. Choose the longest period you think you might need.
3. Confirm your choice: Carefully read the explanation (for example: you will not be able to place bets or make deposits during the selected period) and confirm.
4. Respect the break: Do not attempt to create new accounts or use other gambling sites during this time. Use the break to seek help if you feel out of control.

During 2025 and beyond, players are strongly encouraged to combine operator tools with banking limits, card-based gambling blocks and blocking software such as Gamban or BetBlocker (see "Support Resources").

Self-Exclusion

OBSERVE: When limits and short breaks are not enough, the safest option is to block access to gambling for a longer period. EXPAND: Self-exclusion allows you to close your favs.bet (Fav Bet) account for at least six months or permanently and to use national schemes where available. REFLECT: Choosing self-exclusion is a serious but responsible step and often marks the beginning of recovery.

How To Request Self-Exclusion On favs.bet

1. Log in to your account: Access your favs.bet profile linked with Fav Bet. If you cannot log in, contact customer support and request help with self-exclusion.
2. Open the self-exclusion section: Go to "My Account" -> "Responsible Gambling" or "Safety Tools" and select "Self-Exclusion" (wording may vary).
3. Select the exclusion period: Choose a duration such as 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, 5 years or lifetime. For serious concerns, select the longest period or a permanent closure.
4. Confirm your decision: Read the information on what self-exclusion means (including limits on re-opening your account) and confirm. You may be asked to tick a box confirming that you understand the consequences.
5. Support confirmation: You should receive on-screen confirmation and, where possible, an e-mail confirming the self-exclusion details.

Consequences Of Self-Exclusion

• You will be unable to log in, deposit or place bets using the excluded favs.bet account for the chosen period.
• You should not attempt to open new accounts with Fav Bet or related brands while self-excluded.
• Any remaining real-money balance should normally be returned to you, subject to identity verification, anti-fraud checks and the applicable terms and conditions.
• Open bets may be settled in accordance with the betting rules; winnings may be paid, but you will not be able to continue gambling.
• Requests to shorten or cancel a self-exclusion should generally not be accepted before the minimum period has expired, and may require a further cooling-off period.

UK & Other National Self-Exclusion Schemes

• UK - GAMSTOP: GAMSTOP (gamstop.co.uk) is the free, national online self-exclusion scheme for Great Britain. It lets you block access to UK-licensed online gambling sites and apps for 6 months, 1 year or 5 years. Important: favs.bet (Fav Bet) is not licensed by the UK Gambling Commission and is therefore not part of GAMSTOP. UK residents should not register or gamble on favs.bet at all; they should instead use GAMSTOP to block UK-licensed operators and seek local help.
• Spain - RGIAJ: Spain operates the Registro General de Interdicciones de Acceso al Juego (RGIAJ), a national self-exclusion register. Spanish residents can register to block access to licensed Spanish gambling services.
• Other countries: Many jurisdictions are introducing or expanding national exclusion registers in 2025. Check your local regulator's website for up-to-date information.

Support Resources

OBSERVE: Gambling problems can affect anyone, regardless of age, income or experience. EXPAND: Professional, confidential support is available in the UK and internationally, for both gamblers and their families. REFLECT: Seeking help early greatly increases the chance of recovery; you do not have to handle this alone.

Local Support For The United Kingdom

• National Gambling Helpline (GamCare): Call 0808 8020 133 free from within the UK, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Trained advisers offer confidential support, information and referrals. Language: English.

International Support Organisations

Self-Exclusion Schemes & Blocking Tools

Confidentiality & Professionalism: The organisations listed here operate under strict confidentiality rules. Contacting them does not affect your legal rights, immigration status or credit record, and you can usually remain anonymous if you wish.

Help for Family

OBSERVE: Problem gambling often harms family members and close friends who may feel worried, angry or powerless. EXPAND: Support for relatives is just as important as support for the gambler. REFLECT: The steps below can help you start difficult conversations and access specialist help.

Talking To Someone About Their Gambling

• Choose a calm, private time to talk, not immediately after gambling or during an argument.
• Use "I" statements ("I am worried about...", "I feel anxious when...") rather than blame ("You always...", "You never...").
• Focus on specific behaviours (missing bills, secretive spending, mood changes) and how they affect you and the family.
• Avoid ultimatums you are not ready to follow through on; instead, propose practical next steps such as contacting a helpline together.
• Make it clear that your aim is to support recovery, not to punish or control.

Where Families Can Find Support

• GamCare (UK): Offers a dedicated friends and family service, online forum and group chats at gamcare.org.uk.
• GamAnon: A fellowship for those affected by another person's gambling, associated with Gamblers Anonymous; details at gamblersanonymous.org and local GA websites.
• Gambling Therapy: Provides international online support, including areas for families and partners, at gamblingtherapy.org.

Recommended Next Steps

• Encourage the person to talk to a professional, such as a GP, counsellor or specialist gambling therapist, and offer to accompany them if appropriate.
• Use UK helplines (for example the National Gambling Helpline: 0808 8020 133) to obtain advice specifically for affected others.
• Protect your own finances: consider separating accounts, limiting shared credit and seeking independent financial advice if debts are involved.
• Look after your own wellbeing; family members may need counselling or peer support, even if the gambler is not ready for help yet.

Operator's Commitment

OBSERVE: Responsible gambling requires active cooperation between players, operators and regulators. EXPAND: Fav Bet at favs.bet, operated internationally under the Fav Bet configuration, implements internal controls to identify risk and respond appropriately, while operating under Curaçao regulation rather than UKGC oversight. REFLECT: Understanding these safeguards and limitations helps you make informed decisions about your play.

Who Operates favs.bet (Fav Bet)

• Operating company: Fav Bet's international platform at favs.bet is operated by Favorit United N.V., a company registered in Curaçao (Commercial register no. 121466).
• Registered addresses: Corporate records list registered addresses including Zuikertuintjeweg Z/N (Zuikertuin Tower), Willemstad, Curaçao and Abraham de Veerstraat 9, Willemstad, Curaçao. These references may appear differently in various documents but relate to the same legal entity.
• Payment processing: Certain payment services may be handled by Bintpash Ltd., Anna Maria Lena Court, Flat 201, Agiou Georgiou Makri 64, 6037 Larnaca, Cyprus.
• Licensing jurisdiction: The operator has indicated operation under Curaçao eGaming licences (including references such as 1668/JAZ and 8048/JAZ). These are Curaçao licences, not licences from the UK Gambling Commission.
• UK warning: Fav Bet / favs.bet does not hold a UKGC licence. It is stated that the brand must not advertise to or accept players residing in Great Britain. If you are in Great Britain, you should not use favs.bet for gambling.

Internal Risk Monitoring & Interventions

• Behaviour analysis: The operator may monitor aggregated account activity (for example rapid increases in deposits, frequent failed deposits, long or overnight playing sessions, and repeated cancellation of withdrawals) to identify patterns consistent with excessive gambling.
• Warning messages: Where risk indicators are detected, favs.bet may display on-site warnings recommending that you set limits, take a break or consider self-exclusion, and may provide links to this responsible gaming page.
• Proactive contact: In higher-risk cases (such as very large or fast-increasing losses, signs of distress in communications or repeated requests to remove limits), customer support may reach out by e-mail or in-site message to propose limits, restrictions or exclusion.
• Account measures: If the operator reasonably believes that your gambling may be harmful, it may apply additional limits, deny certain bonuses, suspend the account pending checks or recommend/implement self-exclusion, in line with applicable terms and local law.
• Data protection: Any use of your data for responsible gambling purposes should follow applicable privacy legislation. Monitoring is used to protect you and to meet regulatory expectations, not for intrusive profiling beyond what is necessary for risk control.

Regulatory Oversight & Complaints

• As a Curaçao-licensed operator, Fav Bet is subject to supervision by the relevant Curaçao licensing body, not by the UKGC.
• If you have a complaint that you cannot resolve with favs.bet support, you may be able to use the Curaçao eGaming complaints portal at curacao-egaming.com/public-and-players/complaints-landing, following the instructions on that site.
• The operator does not publish public financial reports in the provided data set; assessments of financial stability are therefore limited and based primarily on reputation and licensing status rather than audited disclosures.

This responsible gaming text has been prepared for Fav Bet at favs.bet, with content curation attributed in the data to Oliver Smith, and is intended to align with UK and international best practice as known up to late 2025.

Updates

OBSERVE: Responsible gambling standards, tools and legal requirements evolve over time. EXPAND: favs.bet (Fav Bet) may introduce new features, amend procedures or update regulatory disclosures. REFLECT: You should review this page regularly and pay attention to notifications about changes that affect your rights and protections.

How You Will Be Informed

• On-site notifications: Important changes to responsible gambling tools or policies may be announced via banners, pop-ups or messages in your account area when you log in.
• E-mail communication: Where appropriate and where you have provided a valid e-mail address, the operator may inform you of material changes (for example significant updates to self-exclusion procedures) by e-mail.
• Policy documents: The terms and conditions, privacy policy and bonus rules on favs.bet may also be updated. In case of any conflict, those documents generally prevail over this explanatory page.

Last review date: This responsible gaming information is scheduled for periodic review and was last updated on 6 November 2025. Please check favs.bet directly for the most recent version.

Contact & Feedback

OBSERVE: Direct communication with the operator helps to tailor protections to your needs and to resolve any issues quickly. EXPAND: While the profile data does not specify dedicated responsible gaming contact details, several channels remain available. REFLECT: Use written communication wherever possible so that you and the operator can keep a clear record of requests and actions.

Contacting favs.bet About Responsible Gambling

• Website contact options: Visit the official site at https://favs.bet and use the published support channels (such as live chat or contact forms). When you write, clearly state that your message relates to "Responsible Gambling / Self-Exclusion" so it can be prioritised.
• E-mail and phone: The provided profile data lists contact e-mail addresses and phone numbers as "not specified". Do not rely on any unofficial contact details you may find elsewhere; always refer to the information displayed on favs.bet itself.
• Feedback and self-control requests: In your message or form submission, you may request specific actions such as setting or lowering deposit limits, enabling a time-out, applying self-exclusion, or clarifying how existing restrictions work on your account.

Regulator Complaints Contact

• If you believe Fav Bet as operated on favs.bet has not handled your complaint appropriately and it relates to matters under Curaçao's supervision, you may submit a complaint via the Curaçao eGaming complaints portal at https://curacao-egaming.com/public-and-players/complaints-landing, following all guidance and evidence requirements listed there.

If you are in the United Kingdom and experiencing gambling harm, always prioritise independent help through services such as GamCare, Gambling Therapy and NHS support, and consider using national self-exclusion schemes (such as GAMSTOP) and blocking tools, regardless of whether you continue any relationship with favs.bet.
