Play It Safe

Responsible Gambling

Gambling should always be fun, never a way to make money. Set limits before you play, only use licensed operators you can verify, and reach out for free, confidential support if you need it. 18+ only.

Responsible Gambling Comes First

Whatever casino you are researching — including a brand like Streambet whose licence is unverified and which appears inactive — responsible gambling matters most. This page explains how to stay in control, how to recognise the warning signs, and where to find free, confidential help.

Gambling Is for Adults Only

Gambling is strictly for adults aged 18 and over. Underage gambling is illegal and harmful. If you share a device with younger family members, keep your login details private and consider parental-control software so that no one underage can access a gambling account. Treating the age limit seriously is the first part of gambling responsibly.

Only Play at Licensed, Verifiable Casinos

The single most important safety step is to play only at operators whose regulator and licence number you can verify on their live, official site. This matters in the context of Streambet specifically: the brand's licensing is claimed and unverified — older data referenced Curacao and Continent Gaming N.V., but no licence number was ever published. An unverifiable licence means little or no protection if your funds or account are ever in dispute. If you cannot check the licence, treat the casino as unverified and do not deposit.

Tools That Help You Stay in Control

Well-run, licensed casinos provide a full set of responsible-gambling tools. Use them to shape your play around your budget and your life — not the other way around. The common tools to look for are:

  • Deposit limits — cap how much you can deposit per day, week or month.
  • Loss limits — set a maximum you are willing to lose over a chosen period.
  • Session limits — limit how long a single playing session can last.
  • Reality checks — regular reminders of how long you have been playing.
  • Cool-off periods — short, defined breaks from your account when you need to step back.
  • Self-exclusion — block access for a longer period, or indefinitely, if gambling is no longer fun.

Knowing the Warning Signs

Gambling stops being healthy when it stops being fun. Warning signs include chasing losses, spending more time or money than you intended, gambling to escape stress or low moods, borrowing money to play, or hiding your gambling from people close to you. If any of this sounds familiar, it may be time to take a break and reach out for support. Recognising these signs early makes it far easier to regain control.
