Responsible Gaming at Legionbet Casino
Gambling should stay a form of entertainment, never a way to make money or escape problems. On this page we set out, in plain terms, the tools we offer, the warning signs worth knowing, and where to find free confidential help.
Our Commitment to You
We take player wellbeing seriously, and we build that commitment into how Legionbet Casino runs day to day. Every account we open is age-verified under our Curaçao licence (OGL/2023/1567/0098), and our team reviews play patterns for markers of risk such as sudden deposit spikes, extended night sessions or repeated loss-chasing. Where we see those signals, we reach out privately and, where appropriate, suggest limits before problems grow.
Reality checks are switched on for all players by default. While you play, a discreet on-screen reminder appears at intervals you choose, showing session length and your net position for that session. Our live chat and support team are available 24/7 at [email protected], and any message you mark as being about gambling concerns is routed to staff trained in responsible-gambling handling.
Know the Warning Signs
Problem gambling rarely announces itself. It tends to build gradually, and the person affected is often the last to notice. These signs are not a diagnosis, but if several feel familiar, it is worth pausing and talking to someone.
- Chasing losses: staking more to win back money already lost.
- Hiding your play: concealing deposits, sessions or account balances from family or friends.
- Borrowing to gamble: using credit cards, loans or other people's money to fund play.
- Mood changes: irritability, anxiety or restlessness when not gambling.
- Escalating stakes: needing bigger wagers to feel the same level of excitement.
- Neglecting responsibilities: missing work, study or family commitments because of gambling.
- Failed attempts to cut down: repeatedly trying to stop or set limits and not managing to.
- Gambling to escape: playing to switch off stress, loneliness or low mood rather than for fun.
Tools You Can Set Today
Every tool below is free, takes under two minutes to activate and sits in your account under Profile, then Responsible Gaming. Limits apply instantly when tightened and after a 24-hour cooling period when raised, a deliberate friction point that gives you time to reconsider.
- Deposit limits: cap the amount you can deposit per day, week or month; the cap blocks further deposits once reached.
- Loss limits: set the maximum net loss you are willing to accept in a period; play stops for the rest of that period when the limit is hit.
- Wagering limits: restrict total stakes placed over a day, week or month regardless of outcome.
- Session timeouts: automatically log you out after a chosen period of play, from 30 minutes upward.
- Reality checks: set the frequency of on-screen reminders showing time played and net result, from every 15 minutes to hourly.
- Cooling-off periods: temporarily suspend your account for 24 hours up to 30 days, with no deposits or play possible during the break.
- Self-exclusion: a firmer step that closes your account to play for a fixed term or permanently; see the next section for details.
How Self-Exclusion Works
Durations we support
You can self-exclude for 24 hours, 7 days, 30 days, 6 months or permanently. The exclusion starts the moment you confirm it in your account or via live chat, and it cannot be lifted early for any reason. We say this plainly because that rigidity is the point: it protects you from a late-night decision to return.
| Duration | Balance and open bets | Reactivation |
|---|---|---|
| 24 hours to 30 days | Open bets settle normally; remaining balance stays in your account and can be withdrawn at any time | Automatic reactivation when the term ends |
| 6 months | Open bets settle normally; balance can be withdrawn on request | Automatic reactivation when the term ends |
| Permanent | Open bets settle normally; balance is returned to your verified payment method | None; the account stays closed and a new account cannot be opened in your name |
Reactivation procedure
For fixed-term exclusions, your account reopens automatically on the expiry date. Before playing again you will see a short responsible-gambling review asking you to confirm your limits, and we recommend setting them before your first session back. Permanent exclusions are irreversible: we close the account, return any balance and block attempts to register a new account with the same details. UK players should also consider GAMSTOP, the national self-exclusion register covering all UK-licensed operators; registering there adds a layer of protection beyond our own tools.
Keeping Minors Safe
You must be at least 18 years old to hold an account with us, and we enforce this through KYC checks: a government-issued ID document, proof of address and payment-method verification are required before your first withdrawal, with verification processed within 72 hours. Accounts we find to belong to anyone under 18 are closed immediately and balances returned. We never market to minors, and we ask parents to treat gambling credentials like any other sensitive account: do not save passwords in shared browsers, and log out after every session.
If children or teenagers can access your devices, parental control software adds an effective barrier. Tools such as Net Nanny, Qustodio or CyberPatrol let you block gambling sites across the whole device, not just our own, and most internet providers offer free category-level gambling filters at router level. GamCare and BeGambleAware also publish free guides on talking to young people about gambling.
Free Help Is Available
If gambling is causing harm, speaking to a trained adviser costs nothing and is confidential. These organisations are independent of us, and contacting them will never affect your account standing.

- BeGambleAware: free, confidential support and self-assessment tools; begambleaware.org

Talk to Us Directly
Our live chat runs 24/7, and any question about limits, timeouts or exclusion is answered by staff trained in responsible-gambling handling, not a generic script. You can also email [email protected]; put "Responsible Gaming" in the subject line and your message is prioritised the same working day. If you ask us to close or restrict your account, we act on it immediately and never argue with the decision.
Whatever your situation, you do not have to handle it alone, and asking for a limit is never a sign of weakness. Set the tools that work for you, keep an honest eye on the warning signs, and reach out early rather than late.
Frequently asked questions
Can I reverse a self-exclusion once it has started?
No. Once confirmed, an exclusion runs its full term, whether 24 hours, 7 days, 30 days, 6 months or permanent. Fixed-term exclusions reactivate automatically on the expiry date.
What happens to my balance when I self-exclude?
Open bets settle normally and your remaining balance stays yours. You can withdraw it at any time during a fixed-term exclusion; for permanent exclusions we return it to your verified payment method.
Are deposit limits applied straight away?
Yes when you lower or add a limit; the new cap applies immediately. Raising or removing a limit only takes effect after a 24-hour cooling period.
Does GAMSTOP cover my Legionbet account?
GAMSTOP is the UK national register and covers UK-licensed operators. For full protection we recommend registering with GAMSTOP and setting self-exclusion on your Legionbet account directly.
