Responsible Betting
Your safety and wellbeing are our top priority. Learn how to gamble responsibly and stay in control.
Our Commitment to Responsible Betting
Gambling should be fun, not a problem. Here's how we help you stay in control.
1. What is Responsible Gambling?
Responsible gambling means gambling for entertainment within your financial and time limits. It's about staying in control and knowing when to stop.
At Reddy Book, we believe gambling should be:
- Entertaining - A form of leisure, not a way to make money
- Controlled - Within pre-set time and money limits
- Informed - Understanding the odds and risks involved
- Balanced - One activity among many in your life
- Safe - Never compromising your financial security or relationships
Golden Rules of Responsible Gambling
1. Set a budget and stick to it
2. Never chase your losses
3. Never gamble when upset, stressed, or under the influence
4. Balance gambling with other activities
5. Remember: It's entertainment, not a way to make money
2. Our Responsible Gambling Tools
We provide several tools to help you gamble responsibly. These can be accessed in your account settings:
