Responsible Gambling
We aim to provide our customers with the #1 Telephone Betting Service in the industry.
Responsible Gambling

* Maximum Stake Limit: You may set a maximum bet stake per transaction.

* Timeouts: You can take a break from betting from between one day and six weeks.
* Product Timeout: You can take a break from betting on a particular sport from between one day and six weeks. (eg. no bets on Darts or Greyhounds).
* Account Closure: You may close your account indefinitely at any time. You may reopen the account however reactivation will be subject to a 24hr cooling off period.
