We believe gambling should be an enjoyable activity for all our valued customers. We recognize Problem Gambling may have a negative impact on our community if we ignore our responsibilities and duty of care. Our focus is to ensure your gambling is conducted in a safe environment, whilst providing an enjoyable and entertaining experience.

We have multiple tools available to assist in maintaining control over gambling habits. These include:

  • Deposit and Loss Limits

  • Short and Long Term Breaks

  • Account Deactivation

  • Self-Exclusion Options

Additionally, we at CrossBet actively monitor customer accounts to assist in the identification of potential Problem Gambling issues. We offer support and guidance to help all customers enjoy and stay in control of their gambling.

What is the definition of “Problem Gambling”?

Problem gambling is any gambling behaviour that disrupts your life. If you’re preoccupied with gambling, spending more and more time and money on it, chasing losses, or gambling despite serious consequences in your life, you have a gambling problem.

What is “Responsible Gambling?”

For individuals, gambling responsibly is when you:

  • Are in control of the amount of time and money spent

  • View gambling as a form of entertainment, not as an income stream

  • Gamble with money within your budget

  • Accept and understand the odds

  • Understand your chances of winning

  • Don’t chase losses and/or try to “win back” losses

CrossBet acknowledges its responsibilities and understands it plays a crucial part in adhering to Responsible Gambling practices. We offer the following:

  • Deposit Limits: Set a limit for the amount of money you are able to deposit daily, weekly or monthly.

  • Loss Limits: Setting a loss limit means you will not be able to lose an amount greater than this on a daily, weekly or monthly basis.

  • Take A Break: Take a short (1-45 days) or long break (6-12 months) from betting without closing your account.

  • Self Exclusion: Self-Exclusion is available if you wish to permanently close your CrossBet account. This cannot be undone.
