Responsible Gaming
Gambling should always remain a form of entertainment, not a way to earn income or solve financial problems. On Bee Bet at beebeti.com ("Bee Bet"), responsible gaming means making informed, conscious decisions about how, when, and how much you play, keeping control of your time and money, and recognising when to stop. This page explains the tools, safeguards, and external support options available to help you stay in control and to act early if gambling starts to create problems.
Bee Bet is licensed in Curaçao (license 8048/JAZ) and is not licensed by the UK Gambling Commission. As a Non-GamStop, offshore operator, UK players do not have UKGC or IBAS protection. Nevertheless, Bee Bet voluntarily adopts many safer-gambling practices used in regulated markets and offers support, including limits, time-outs, self-exclusion options, and access to independent help services. If you are worried about your gambling or someone else's, you are not alone and support is available.
Risk Awareness
Gambling carries financial and emotional risks, especially where play occurs with an offshore, non-UKGC operator and in non-GBP currencies. Being aware of early warning signs allows you to act before gambling harms your wellbeing or finances.
Common Warning Signs
- Increasing frequency and stakes: You gamble more often, increase bet sizes, or chase losses by depositing again after losing.
- Preoccupation with gambling: You think about gambling when you should be working, studying, or spending time with family or friends.
- Spending beyond your means: You use money needed for bills, rent, debts, or savings, or you borrow or use credit to keep gambling.
- Loss of control: You find it hard to stick to a budget or time limit, and you continue gambling even when you promised yourself you would stop.
- Emotional impact: You feel guilt, anxiety, irritability, or low mood linked to gambling, especially after losses or failed attempts to stop.
- Hiding behaviour: You lie about how much you play, delete transaction records, or hide gambling from those close to you.
- Financial stress: You experience overdrafts, late payments, or debt collection as a result of gambling activity.
For UK players using Bee Bet, additional risk arises because deposits may be processed in USD or JPY rather than GBP. FX conversions and hidden costs (typically around 3 - 5% of your bankroll) can make losses larger than they appear in your home currency.
Quick Self-Assessment
Consider these statements honestly and answer "Yes" or "No" to each:
- I sometimes gamble with money I need for regular living expenses (rent, bills, food, debts).
- I return to beebeti.com quickly after losing in an attempt to win back my losses.
- Friends or family have expressed concern about the time or money I spend gambling.
- I feel restless or irritable when I try to cut down or stop gambling.
- I have lied or minimised the extent of my gambling or concealed transactions.
- I have used credit cards, loans, or overdrafts specifically to finance gambling.
- Gambling has negatively affected my work, studies, relationships, or mental health.
If you answered "Yes" to several of these statements, your gambling may be becoming problematic. We strongly encourage you to use the tools described below, consider a time-out or self-exclusion, and contact one of the professional support services listed in the Support Resources section.
Limits & Tools
Setting clear financial and time boundaries before you start to play is one of the most effective ways to maintain control. Bee Bet at beebeti.com provides account-level tools that allow you to limit deposits and manage playing time. Where these tools are available in your account, we strongly recommend that you activate them immediately rather than waiting for problems to arise.
Deposit Limits (Daily, Weekly, Monthly)
- Access your account: Log in to your Bee Bet account at beebeti.com and open the "My Account" or "Profile" area.
- Open Responsible Gaming settings: Look for a menu item such as "Responsible Gaming", "Limits", or "Safer Gambling".
- Select deposit limits: Choose the "Deposit Limits" option, where you can usually set daily, weekly, and monthly caps.
- Enter your limits: For each timeframe, enter a total deposit amount that fits comfortably within your disposable income (for example, £20 per day, £50 per week, £150 per month).
- Confirm and save: Review the figures, confirm the changes, and wait for on-screen confirmation that the limits are active.
Important: In line with safer-gambling standards, lowering your limits usually takes effect immediately, while any request to increase or remove a limit may be subject to a cooling-off period (for example, 24 hours or more) and may require you to reconfirm your decision. Because gameplay may be in USD or JPY, consider conversion effects so that your limits reflect the true GBP amount you can afford to lose.
Time Management & Session Tools
- Session timers: Where available, you can activate a session timer in the "Responsible Gaming" section. Choose a maximum continuous playtime (for example, 30, 60, or 120 minutes). When this time is reached, you will receive a reminder or may be logged out.
- Reality checks: Enable on-screen pop-ups after a set period (for example, every 60 minutes) summarising your time and net result, prompting you to stop or take a break.
- Personal alarms: Even if in-site tools are limited, set your own alarms on your phone or computer before you start to play and commit to logging out when the alarm sounds.
Short "Time-Out" Breaks (24 - 72 Hours)
- Open the Time-Out/Browse section: Within "Responsible Gaming", select "Time-Out", "Cooling-Off", or a similar option if provided.
- Choose the duration: Select a short break period, typically 24 hours, 48 hours, or 72 hours.
- Confirm your choice: Read the information about what will happen during the time-out, then confirm your request.
- Respect the break: During a time-out you should not log in, attempt to deposit via other devices, or create additional accounts.
Time-outs are intended as an early intervention when you notice emerging risk but are not yet at the stage of needing full self-exclusion. If you find yourself repeatedly using short breaks and then returning to heavy gambling, consider a longer self-exclusion and seek professional help.
Self-Exclusion
Self-exclusion is a stronger protective measure designed for players who feel they are losing control. When you self-exclude from Bee Bet, you are asking us to block your account for a significant period and to prevent further gambling. Because Bee Bet is an offshore, Non-GamStop operator, you must manage self-exclusion directly with us and, separately, consider national schemes such as GamStop to block UKGC-licensed sites.
How to Activate Self-Exclusion
- Locate the Self-Exclusion option: Log in to your account at beebeti.com and go to "My Account" > "Responsible Gaming" > "Self-Exclusion" (or a similarly named section). If you cannot find it, contact customer support via live chat or the help centre and request self-exclusion.
- Choose the exclusion period: Select how long you wish to be excluded. Typical minimum periods are 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, or 5 years. In severe cases, you may request a lifetime exclusion.
- Confirm your decision: Carefully read the information on consequences. You may be asked to tick a checkbox and reconfirm that you understand self-exclusion is binding and cannot be lifted early.
- Await confirmation: After submitting your request, you should receive on-screen and email confirmation that self-exclusion has been applied to your Bee Bet account.
Consequences of Self-Exclusion
- Account access: You will not be able to log in, place bets, or make deposits for the duration of the self-exclusion. Attempts to create new accounts will breach our Terms & Conditions and may result in closure of any related profiles.
- Marketing communications: Where technically possible, Bee Bet will stop sending you promotional emails, SMS, or push notifications connected with Bee Bet. You may still receive non-marketing communications where legally or operationally necessary (for example, about existing withdrawals).
- Funds and withdrawals: Treatment of any remaining balance is governed by the official Terms & Conditions and applicable law. Generally, pending withdrawals will continue to be processed, and any real-money balance may be withdrawn subject to verification and limits. Bonus funds and related winnings may be voided in line with the Bonus Policy.
- Irreversibility: Self-exclusion is intended as a firm protection. Requests to shorten or cancel the exclusion period will normally not be accepted before the selected duration ends, and any change after expiry may be subject to cooling-off and further checks.
Important for UK players: Self-excluding from Bee Bet does not automatically exclude you from other gambling operators. We strongly recommend that you also consider registering with GamStop (for UK-licensed sites) and using blocking software such as Gamban or BetBlocker to reduce access across multiple platforms.
Support Resources
If you are concerned about your gambling or someone else's, specialist, confidential help is available. Because Bee Bet is active but unregulated in the UK, we emphasise the importance of independent advice from UK-based and international organisations. These services are free to access and will not judge you.
Local Support for UK Players
- National Gambling Helpline (GamCare): Call 0808 8020 133 (free from UK landlines and mobiles) or use live chat at gamcare.org.uk. Available 24/7, offering confidential advice, emotional support, and signposting to local treatment, including NHS services.
- NHS Gambling Services: The NHS offers specialist clinics for problem gambling in parts of the UK. Speak to your GP or visit nhs.uk and search for "gambling addiction" for referral routes.
- Samaritans (emotional crisis support): If you feel overwhelmed or in distress, call 116 123 (free, 24/7) or visit samaritans.org. They are not gambling-specific but can support you through moments of crisis.
These organisations are independent of Bee Bet and can help you assess your situation, plan next steps, and access ongoing counselling or therapy if needed.
International Support Organisations
| 🏢 Organization | 📞 Contact | 🌐 Website | ⏰ Hours | 🗣️ Languages |
|---|---|---|---|---|

Gambling Therapy offers online support groups and one-to-one live chat for people affected by gambling worldwide, including UK residents. Gamblers Anonymous provides peer-support meetings and online forums where you can share experiences with others facing similar challenges.
Self-Exclusion Schemes & Blocking Tools
- GamStop (UK): A free service that lets you self-exclude from all UKGC-licensed online gambling sites and apps for 6 months, 1 year, or 5 years. Register at gamstop.co.uk. Note that Bee Bet at beebeti.com is not covered by GamStop because it is not UKGC-licensed, but registering can still significantly reduce your overall access to gambling.
- Spain - RGIAJ: The Spanish "Registro General de Interdicciones de Acceso al Juego (RGIAJ)" is a national self-exclusion register. Players resident in Spain can register via the Spanish regulator's official channels to restrict access to licensed operators in Spain.
- Blocking software (Gamban, BetBlocker): Applications such as Gamban (gamban.com) and BetBlocker (betblocker.org) can be installed on devices to block access to a wide range of gambling websites and apps, including many offshore operators. Some tools are free; others have a subscription cost.
Family and Affected-Others Support
- GamCare - Support for affected others: Offers specific advice, chatrooms, and forums for partners, family, and friends impacted by someone else's gambling.
- GamAnon / Gamblers Anonymous families: Provides meetings and online communities for relatives of people with gambling problems. See gamblersanonymous.org for links to family-focused groups (often referred to as "GamAnon").
All these services respect your privacy, operate on a confidential basis, and are staffed by trained professionals or experienced peers. Reaching out for help is a sign of strength and a key step in regaining control.
Help for Family
Gambling problems can affect the whole household, not just the person who gambles. If you are worried about someone using Bee Bet or other gambling sites, you may feel anxious, frustrated, or unsure how to help. It is important both to support the person and to protect your own wellbeing.
Talking to Someone About Their Gambling
- Choose the right moment: Speak when the person is calm and not currently gambling or under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
- Use non-judgemental language: Focus on how their behaviour affects you ("I feel worried when...") rather than criticism ("You always...").
- Be specific: Describe concrete examples, such as missed bills, secrecy around bank accounts, or noticeable mood changes.
- Encourage, do not coerce: Suggest using tools (limits, time-outs, self-exclusion) and contacting professional support, but recognise that change is more effective when the person is willing.
Support Options for Families and Friends
- Helplines and counselling: Contact GamCare's National Gambling Helpline (0808 8020 133) for guidance on how to approach the conversation and to access support for yourself, including counselling or local services.
- Family support groups: Join online forums and chats for affected others, such as the friends and family sections on gamcare.org.uk or the family groups associated with Gamblers Anonymous ("GamAnon"). Sharing experiences with others in a similar situation can reduce isolation and provide practical coping strategies.
- Mental health professionals: A GP or psychotherapist can help address stress, anxiety, or depression caused by a loved one's gambling and may recommend family or couples therapy.
Practical Next Steps
- Protect finances: Where appropriate and lawful, consider separating finances, setting spending limits, or requiring joint approval for larger transactions.
- Encourage blocking tools: Suggest that the person registers with GamStop (for UK-licensed sites), installs Gamban or BetBlocker, and considers self-exclusion from Bee Bet and other platforms.
- Look after yourself: Seek your own support, set boundaries, and remember that you are not responsible for another adult's decisions. Use the resources in the Support Resources section for confidential help.
Operator's Commitment
Although Bee Bet is licensed in Curaçao rather than by the UK Gambling Commission, Bee Bet aims to align its practices with widely recognised responsible-gaming standards. We encourage players to use the tools and support described on this page and we apply internal monitoring to identify potential risk patterns.
Internal Monitoring & Risk Checks
- Behavioural analysis: We may review account activity for indicators of elevated risk, including unusually long playing sessions, frequent deposits within a short period, repeated attempts to chase losses, use of multiple payment methods, or frequent failed deposits.
- Financial indicators: We may assess whether deposit and wagering patterns appear inconsistent with typical recreational play, taking into account currency conversions (for example, GBP deposits processed in USD or JPY) and known withdrawal limits.
- Tool usage: We may monitor whether you set, lower, or remove limits, and how often you request time-outs or self-exclusion, as these can be signs that additional support or restrictions are needed.
When We May Contact You
- Preventive communication: If your activity suggests increased risk, our support team may contact you via email, in-site messages, or live chat to discuss your play, remind you of available tools, and encourage safer-gambling measures such as setting limits or taking a break.
- Protective actions: In certain situations, we may decide to apply or suggest additional restrictions, such as deposit limits, temporary suspension, or self-exclusion. These steps are taken to help protect you from further harm.
- Verification and reviews: Large wins or unusual transaction patterns may trigger manual reviews, which can include requests for further information. While these checks are not a substitute for UK-style regulatory protections, they are part of our risk-management and player-protection efforts.
Important notice: This Responsible Gaming page is for information and guidance only and does not replace or override the Bee Bet Terms & Conditions, Bonus Policy, or any applicable laws. Because Bee Bet is not regulated by the UK Gambling Commission, some protections available on UK-licensed sites (including escalation to IBAS or UKGC) do not apply. We strongly recommend that players familiarise themselves with our full Terms & Conditions and use independent support services where needed.
Updates
Responsible gaming standards and legal frameworks evolve over time. Bee Bet aims to keep this page accurate and up to date so that UK players understand the tools and limitations that apply when using an offshore operator such as Bee Bet.
How We Will Notify You of Changes
- Website updates: The content of this page may be updated to reflect new tools, changes in our internal policies, or developments in relevant legislation or best practice.
- E-mail notifications: For material changes that significantly affect how you use responsible-gaming tools or how your account may be restricted for protection, we may send information to the email address registered to your Bee Bet account.
- On-site notices: Important updates may also be highlighted via banners, pop-up notices, or messages in your account area when you log in to beebeti.com.
