Six Pillars of Responsible Gaming

metbet has built its player protection framework around six core commitments. Each pillar reflects a concrete action — not just a policy statement — that we deliver for every registered player on the platform.

🔞

Strict 18+ Age Enforcement

Registration on the metbet platform is permitted only for adults aged 18 years and above. Every new account undergoes age verification as part of the standard KYC process. metbet reserves the right to request supporting identity documents at any point. Any account found to belong to a minor is closed immediately and permanently.

💰

Deposit Limits

Set a daily, weekly, or monthly cap on how much you deposit into your metbet account. Once a limit is active, it cannot be increased for a cooling-off period of at least 24 hours, giving you meaningful protection against impulsive increases. Reducing your limit takes effect immediately.

⏱️

Session Time Limits

Choose how long each gaming session can last. When your limit is reached, metbet will notify you and log you out automatically. This tool is particularly useful for players who find it easy to lose track of time during live casino games or cricket betting sessions.

⏸️

Time-Out (Cooling-Off)

Take a short break from the platform without permanently closing your account. Time-out periods are available for 24 hours, 48 hours, one week, or one month. During a time-out, you cannot log in, place bets, or make deposits. The time-out cannot be cancelled once it is active.

🚫

Self-Exclusion

If you feel your gambling has become a serious problem, you can request self-exclusion for a minimum period of six months or up to five years. Self-exclusion is processed promptly by our support team and cannot be reversed during the elected period. We also encourage you to use available national support resources alongside this tool.

🔔

Reality Checks

Enable in-session notifications that remind you of the total time elapsed and your net wins or losses during a session. Reality checks help you maintain an honest picture of your activity and make informed decisions about whether to continue playing or take a break.

Recognising Problem Gambling

Gambling is a form of entertainment. When it stops being fun and starts causing harm, it is important to recognise the warning signs early. The following indicators may suggest that gambling is becoming a problem.

01
Chasing Losses

Continuing to gamble in an attempt to win back money you have already lost, often increasing bet sizes in the process.

02
Neglecting Responsibilities

Missing work, family commitments, or social obligations because of time or money spent on gambling.

03
Borrowing to Gamble

Taking loans, using credit cards, or borrowing money from family or friends specifically to fund gambling activity.

04
Gambling in Secret

Hiding your gambling activity from people close to you, or feeling the need to lie about how much time or money you spend on it.

05
Unable to Stop

Repeatedly trying to cut down or stop gambling without success, or feeling restless and irritable when you try to do so.

06
Gambling to Escape

Using gambling as a way to cope with stress, anxiety, depression, loneliness, or other difficult emotions rather than as entertainment.

07
Financial Difficulties

Experiencing serious financial problems — unpaid bills, depleted savings, or debt — that are directly connected to gambling spending.

08
Preoccupation with Gambling

Spending a significant portion of your time thinking about past gambling sessions, planning the next session, or working out how to get more money to gamble with.

If You Recognise These Signs
If you identify with three or more of the warning signs above, we strongly encourage you to use the metbet self-exclusion or time-out tools immediately and reach out to our 24/7 support team. You do not have to manage this alone. Help is available, and taking the first step to seek it is a sign of strength, not weakness.
Are You Gambling Responsibly?

The questions on the right are adapted from widely used responsible gaming screening tools. Answer them honestly and privately. If you answer "yes" to several questions, it may be time to use one of the metbet player protection tools or speak with a support specialist.

Tips for Playing Safely

Whether you are a new player or have been with metbet for some time, the following guidelines can help ensure that your gambling experience remains positive and within healthy boundaries.

Set a Budget Before You Play
Decide how much money you can comfortably afford to lose before you start any session. Treat this amount as the cost of entertainment, not as an investment. Never gamble with money set aside for rent, bills, food, or other essential expenses.
Set a Time Limit
Decide how long you will play before you begin and stick to it regardless of whether you are winning or losing. Use the metbet session time limit tool to enforce this automatically so you do not rely solely on willpower.
Gamble for Fun, Not Profit
Online casino games and sports betting are forms of entertainment. The house edge means that over the long term, the platform retains a margin. Never view gambling as a reliable source of income or a financial strategy.
Never Chase Losses
If you reach your session loss limit, stop playing. Chasing losses — continuing to bet in an attempt to recover money already lost — is one of the primary behaviours that leads to problem gambling. Accept the loss and return another day.
Take Regular Breaks
Step away from the screen regularly during longer sessions. Fatigue and prolonged concentration impair decision-making. A short break of 10 to 15 minutes every hour can help you maintain a clear perspective on your activity.
Talk to Someone You Trust
If you feel that your gambling is getting out of hand, speak to a friend, family member, or our support team. Sharing your concerns openly is an important first step. You can also use the metbet time-out or self-exclusion tools as an immediate measure while you seek further support.
