Safer Gambling
Here at JeffBet, we’re big believers in promoting safer gambling and take it seriously. We are licensed and regulated by the UKGC (UK Gambling Commission) under account number 39335, so we are monitored regularly to ensure we adhere to strict legislation.
If you feel like you are developing an addiction or problem with gambling, there are a number of steps that you can take, and here at JeffBet we have several resources available to help you. The important thing to remember is that you take action. It is understandable to feel lost, though you are not alone, and many charities and helplines can assist in providing you the support that you feel you need and in confidence.
Self Exclusion
At JeffBet we let you take part in self-exclusion, where you can exclude yourself from gambling for between six and 12 months. This is a good idea if you feel that you are becoming too reliant on gambling or using it as a means to try and make money on a regular basis, rather than for entertainment purposes. Follow our step-by-step guide to self-exclusion below!
- Login to your account.
- Click on Play Responsibly on your account menu.
- Then select ‘Exclusions’/
- Customise your self-exclusion time.
- Alternatively, contact us via the Live Chat feature and we will be more than happy to assist you.
Deposit Limits
Being able to set deposit limits gives you greater control over your gambling and is worth doing to make sure that you don’t rely on it. We let you set deposit limits per day, week and/or month once you sign up and you can decide to do this when you want by clicking on ‘account’ and setting your desired limits. These changes activate 24 hours after your request, and you can also put limits on how long you wager on the site.
Time Out Period
By deciding to set a time out period, this means that you can block yourself from gambling for a set period of days – up to 42 in total, by changing it in your responsible gambling settings within your account. Essentially, this means you want to give yourself a bit of a break from gambling but still want to access your account.
What Resources Are Available To Help?
As we mentioned, there are several helplines and charities that can help if you feel like you are developing a gambling problem. These can assist in numerous ways such as pointing you in the right direction, listening and having trained experts working with them who can help. We have listed these below.

Parental Controls
In order to prevent underage gambling, there is a way to add parental controls to your devices to reduce the risk of any minors in your care coming across anything that is gambling-related. There are websites and software that you can use in order to prevent this and we have listed these below.
Here at JeffBet, we also have age verification measures to ensure that our players are of legal gambling age. If we cannot verify a person’s age with the information provided, we will suspend the gambling account until we can.
