Responsible Gaming Tools at Freshbet
Freshbet Casino is entertainment, not income. That belief shapes every safety feature we build, and this page shows you exactly where each one lives in your account, how fast it works and who to call when gambling stops being fun.
Our Commitment to You
We monitor play patterns in-house for early signals of distress: sharp increases in deposit frequency, sessions that stretch past normal hours and repeated deposits straight after losses. When a pattern like that appears, we contact the account holder with details of our limits rather than waiting for a problem to declare itself. Our licence from the Malta Gaming Authority (MGA/B2C/482/2020) makes this a duty, our support team treats it as one in practice.
Proactive measures
Reality checks run behind the scenes as well as on screen. Every session triggers a time reminder you configure yourself, and account-level reviews flag risky behaviour long before you would see it on your statement.
- Session time reminders at intervals you choose, from 15 minutes upward
- Automated behavioural monitoring for loss-chasing patterns
- Trained support agents available 24/7 through live chat
- Plain-language account history so you can audit your own play
Warning Signs We Watch For
No single item on this list means anything on its own. Two or three together, recurring over weeks, are worth a conversation with our support team or with an external helpline. Checking honestly takes five minutes and costs nothing.
- Chasing losses with larger or more frequent deposits
- Playing longer than you planned, repeatedly
- Hiding your play or account statements from family
- Borrowing money or using credit to fund gambling
- Feeling restless or irritable when you try to stop
- Gambling to escape stress, grief or low mood rather than for fun
- Promising yourself you will stop after one more deposit, and not stopping
- Lying about time or money spent on the site
Set Your Own Limits
Every tool below is active in your Freshbet Casino account area, under the Responsible Gaming tab, and takes effect immediately. Limits tighten instantly and can only be relaxed after a review period, which is deliberate: the delay protects you at the moment you are most tempted.
- Deposit limits: cap the amount you can move into your account per day, week or month, set under Responsible Gaming in your profile.
- Loss limits: a separate ceiling on net losses over a period, so a lucky streak does not mask how much is actually going out.
- Wagering limits: restrict total stakes placed, independent of wins and losses.
- Session time limits: the site logs you out automatically when your chosen session length expires.
- Reality checks: on-screen pop-ups at intervals you pick, showing time played and net result for the session.
- Cooling-off period: a short break of 24 hours to 30 days that freezes play but keeps your account and balance intact.
- Self-exclusion: a formal, longer break covered in the next section, including registration with GAMSTOP.
Self-Exclusion, Step by Step
During exclusion your account is frozen: deposits, play and promotions are blocked, and marketing emails stop. Any balance remaining stays yours and can be withdrawn by contacting [email protected] with identity verification. Open bets already placed are settled normally and paid out to your balance, then withdrawn on request.
| Duration | What happens | Reactivation |
|---|---|---|
| 24 hours | Account frozen, balance kept | Automatic after 24h |
| 7 days | Full block, marketing paused | Automatic after 7 days |
| 30 days | Full block, marketing paused | Automatic after 30 days |
| 6 months | Full block plus GAMSTOP entry | Request via support after term |
| Permanent | Account closed, data retained per law | Contact support to discuss |
Reactivation
For the longer options we apply a 24-hour reflection window after you request reactivation. Nothing reopens instantly, and our support team may ask a short set of wellbeing questions first. If you self-excluded through GAMSTOP, your return date is set by them and we cannot override it.
Keeping Under-18s Out
Your devices are your household's first line of defence. Lock gaming behind a PIN or biometric screen, log out after every session and consider parental control software such as Net Nanny, Qustodio or Gamban, which blocks gambling sites across phones, tablets and laptops.

Frequently asked questions
How do I set a deposit limit at Freshbet Casino?
Open your profile, choose the Responsible Gaming tab, select Deposit Limits and set a daily, weekly or monthly cap. The new lower limit applies immediately.
Can I withdraw my balance while self-excluded?
Yes. Email [email protected] with ID verification and we will process your withdrawal while keeping play and deposits blocked.
Does GAMSTOP cost anything?
No, GAMSTOP is free and covers every UK licensed gambling site, so one registration blocks you across the whole market, not just our site.
How quickly does a cooling-off period start?
The moment you confirm it. Cooling-off takes effect instantly, while reactivation always waits until the full period has elapsed.
Will you tell anyone I contacted support about gambling?
No. Conversations with our team are confidential and have no effect on your account standing, bonuses or withdrawals.
