Oadbrokes believes that online gambling should be enjoyable entertainment, not a source of stress or problems. The platform is equipped with comprehensive control tools to ensure you always play within comfortable, responsible limits.
All these tools are available free of charge to every Oadbrokes user and can be accessed directly from your account panel — no conditions, no questions, no judgment.
Set your own daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits. Once a limit is set, it takes effect immediately. To increase a limit, a 24-hour waiting period applies — this is designed to give you time to reconsider before making a decision.
Set a maximum total loss limit for a period of your choice. Once this limit is reached, you cannot continue betting until the limit period expires automatically — a protective mechanism that gives you peace of mind.
Set a daily session time limit. When the time limit is reached, a notification will appear and the session will end automatically. Ideal for users who want to ensure gaming activity does not interfere with time for family and work.
Choose a break period of 24 hours, 7 days, 14 days, or up to 6 months. During this period, your account remains active but you cannot log in or place any bets. Ideal if you feel you need a short break.
For those who need a longer and more serious separation, self-exclusion allows you to close account access for 6 months to 5 years or permanently. This decision cannot be reversed within the chosen period.
Track your betting history, deposits, withdrawals, and play patterns in detail from your account dashboard. Reviewing your own usage patterns is a vital first step in maintaining responsible gaming.
The process is simple and can be completed in under two minutes directly from your account.
Access your Oadbrokes account via the website or mobile app. All self-control tools are available on both platforms.
Go to "Account Settings" or "Responsible Gaming" in your profile menu. All control tools are listed there.
Select the type of limit you want to set and enter a value that fits your budget and playing style. There is no minimum or maximum value imposed.
Confirm your choice and the limit takes effect immediately. A confirmation email will be sent to your registered address for your records.
Important Note: Self-control limits take effect immediately once activated. Limit reductions (e.g. lowering your deposit limit) take effect immediately, while limit increases require a 24-hour waiting period before taking effect. This is a protective mechanism designed with your best interests in mind.
Online gaming is a form of entertainment — just like watching a film, dining at a fine restaurant, or going on holiday. Money spent on gaming should be treated as an entertainment cost, not an investment or a way to generate income. When we understand this from the start, the gaming experience becomes far more enjoyable and stress-free.
Oadbrokes takes a proactive approach to responsible gaming. This means we do not simply wait for problems to arise before acting — our platform is designed from the ground up to support healthy play habits. Regular session time displays, notifications as you approach your limits, and monthly activity reports are among the mechanisms built into the platform.
It is important to only play with money you can afford to lose. Never play with borrowed money, emergency savings, or money needed for daily essentials such as rent, bills, and food. Casino games are designed for entertainment, and the house always holds a long-term edge — this is no secret and we don't hide it.
Identifying a problem early is far easier than addressing it once it becomes serious. Some warning signs to watch out for:
