OddsMint is committed to promoting responsible gambling.

Our content is intended for adults 18+ only and is designed to help users make informed, safe choices about sports, esports, and casino betting.

At OddsMint, we believe betting should always be a form of entertainment, never a source of stress, pressure, or financial harm. Our content is designed to help adults make informed, sensible choices when engaging with sports, esports, or casino betting. If gambling ever stops feeling enjoyable or starts to feel difficult to control, support is available and seeking help is a positive first step.

Gambling Should Always Be Entertainment

Betting should be fun, optional, and affordable.

It should never be viewed as a source of income or a way to recover losses.

Signs You May Need Support

Sometimes it’s hard to notice when gambling starts to feel less like entertainment and more like something you’re managing or worrying about. You might want to pause and seek support if you recognise any of the following:

Spending more time or money on betting than you originally planned
Chasing losses or feeling pressure to “win it back”
Keeping your gambling habits private or downplaying them to others
Feeling stressed, anxious, or low in relation to betting
Using money meant for everyday expenses or essentials

Noticing these signs simply means it might be time to get some extra support.

Protect Yourself Online

Licensed operators offer tools to help manage your play. We recommend researching each option carefully ensuring you choose the most suitable tool for your needs:

Deposit limits
- Using Gross Deposit Limits, you can cap the total amount you deposit
- Net Deposit Limits in a certain period factor in your withdrawals, meaning that if you have a €100 limit and withdraw €50, you could deposit a total of €150 that timeframe
- These limits can usually be set for timeframes (daily, weekly or monthly) to add an additional layer of control
Loss limits
- This is a more direct way to control your finances, with a focus on actual losses. Most operators calculate losses as total stakes minus total winnings.
- You can still play with your winnings after hitting a loss limit and, like deposit limits, a timeframe can be set against your ‘loss limit’
Time-outs
- Also known as a cool off period, this is a tool that allows the use to voluntarily block access to your account for a set duration that you determine. This is different to self-exclusion which lasts a minimum of 6 months.
Reality checks
- A reality check is a tool designed to break the trance of continuous gameplay. This is achieved by automated on-screen notifications forcing a momentary “change of scene”. The user must acknowledge the notification before being able to play. As a guide, the notification includes a summary of your current session including time elapsed, total amount wagered and net loss/win.
Self-exclusion programs (GamStop UK, local European equivalents)
- Self-exclusion schemes are free services that allow players to block themselves from all online gambling companies in a single step.
