Responsible Gambling
Bettor.com.com is committed to encourage responsible gambling among its members. We endeavour to promote socially responsible gambling and have taken various steps to minimise the negative effects of problem gambling.
Bettor.com would like all members to enjoy their betting experience on the site whilst being in control and being aware that problem gambling can be socially and financially harmful.

The following functions have been implemented to encourage socially responsible gambling.
* Deposit and Loss Limits
* Self-Exclusion Options
* Links to Gamcare and Gamblers Anonymous
* Tools to protect underage access
* Self-help and awareness information
