Over 18s Only
It is illegal for anybody under the age of 18 to open an account or place a bet with BetVictor. We take our responsibilities in this area very seriously and follow a few steps to verify our customers are over 18.
If we are unable to confirm your age, we will suspend all your accounts until we are able to ascertain that you are over the age of 18. In some circumstances documents will be required to prove that you are of legal age to gamble.
We also advise that if your computer is used by children, you keep your account number/username confidential and you may wish to use parental control software such as “netnanny” (www.netnanny.com).
Control Your Spend
It’s important that you keep track of the amount of time you spend gambling. We recommend you take a note of the time you start gambling and keep an eye on the clock to make sure that you aren’t spending more time than you should be. We also strongly advise you to keep your device clock enabled whilst gambling so you can easily refer to it.
There are several tools available to you to help manage your time and money. To learn more, just click this button:
Friends & Family
Sometimes gambling can have a negative impact on the family and friends of a problem gambler which may lead to need for support for those people close to the problem gambler.
If you are in this situation, you may also want help and advice, as well as trying to be there to support your friend or family member. Gamcare can provide support in these circumstances and help you to cope with the difficulties you may encounter.
Betting: Myths & Facts
There are tons of myths when it comes to gambling but there’s one thing they all have in common. They’re all fictional.
Our best tip? Don’t believe them.
We took five of the most popular myths and checked what’s really behind them.
Myth #1: When I lose, I should raise the stakes to compensate my lost money with the next win.
Nope, complete nonsense! If you do that, you’re likely to lose even more. Chasing losses leads to bigger losses in the long run.
Myth #2: Gambling is an easy way to make money.
If gambling was easy, we’d all be doing it and gambling companies would have gone bankrupt a long time ago.
Myth #3: With the right system, I’ll always win.
There is no such system. Luck or chance plays a huge role in the outcome and there is no system that can guarantee a profit.
Myth #4: Gambling is fun, so when I’m down I place a bet to lift my spirits.
Sure, gambling can be fun – but only when enjoyed responsibly – you should never gamble to make you feel better. If you’re feeling down, a quick workout or a chat with friends is much more effective.
Myth #5: Only problem gamblers need limits.
Limits are for everyone. It’s easy to lose track of time or money when you’re in the middle of an exciting session. Setting limits helps you stay in control.
Don’t trust any myths when it comes to gambling. It’s fun, it’s entertaining, but it’s not a way of earning guaranteed income!
