Responsible Gaming

Betway is committed to doing everything possible to give its customers an enjoyable playing experience, whilst recognising that gambling can cause problems for a minority of individuals. It is important to note that gambling should be for fun and never to make money or to escape from your problems. Gambling might cause certain risks such as physical, mental or economic problems. We want you to make a good use of our platform, therefore you should always be aware of the amount of money and time spent gambling, and please familiarise yourself with the responsible gambling tools available to you to help minimise any potential risk of gambling.

 To ensure that you continue to enjoy safe and manageable play we fully support Responsible Gambling and have numerous measures in place to ensure customer safety. Please contact the following number to hear a full list of responsible gambling tool information: 800 30 00 98.

Protection of Minors

With the Internet so readily accessible in homes around the world, responsible online gambling relies heavily on responsible parenting. In order to ensure child safety on the Net, Betway encourages its customers to make use of filtering software to prevent minors from accessing inappropriate online material. Underage gambling is not only illegal but can also result in gambling dependencies and huge gambling debts incurred by unsupervised children.

Betway aims to protect vulnerable people and minors. Any person under 18 years old will be prevented from registering on our gaming platform. Our technical implementations ensure that minors are not allowed to register on our website. However, in the case a minor was able to register on our website using fake data, the minor won´t be allowed to participate in our gambling offer. 

Tips for Parents:

  • Do not leave your computer unattended when your casino software is running.
  • Password-protect your casino software.
  • Do not allow persons under 18 to participate in any gambling activity.
  • Keep your Casino account number and credit card(s) out of the reach of children.
  • Do not save passwords on your computer. Write them down instead.
  • Limit the amount of time your children spend online and make use of software to prevent your children from accessing inappropriate material.
  • Please note, you can use parental control systems like Cyber Sitteror Net Nanny as a form of prevention to stop underage persons from accessing gambling websites. These are, however, paid platforms so there is a cost involved.

Betway will automatically verify all its customers against the RGIAJ every hour. Should a customer be found on the register, a message will display and access to the Betway Site will be blocked.
