Responsible Gambling

Responsible Gaming is not a slogan for AdmiralBet, but a part of the license issued by ADM. The idea is simple: gambling should remain entertainment, not a problem. That is why we dedicate space on our website to explain the risks, provide prevention tools, and refer players to professional help if needed.
For the player, this is a reminder that entertainment is safest when it is controlled. These tools are not designed to take away freedom, but to help you control the situation.

Most people can gamble without serious problems. A bet here, a play there, and you quit. But for some, gambling begins to enter other areas, and so domestic quarrels, financial difficulties, even distraction from work or study arise.
The first signs may be subtle: you stay online longer than planned, try to win back your losses, or hide the time and money spent from people close to you. None of this proves addiction, but these are signs worth paying attention to. That’s why ADM requires all operators to combine information with practical safety measures. Information means giving clear odds, payouts, and strict rules. The measures include things like deposit limits, monitoring your play, and the ability to exclude yourself for a certain period.

What does it mean to “play responsibly”? It all comes down to the small decisions you make before and during your play:
Set your limits in advance, both in terms of money and time. Stick to them strictly.
Never gamble on borrowed money – bills and household expenses should never be affected.
See losses as the cost of entertainment.
Learn the rules and odds before you start playing.
Avoid chasing losses. If to try to win back quickly, it almost always leads to the opposite result!
Do not use gambling as a source of income. It is a nice entertainment, not a way to earn.
Monitor your mood. Don‘t gamble when you‘re stressed, tired, or being under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
These points may seem obvious, but it‘s so easy to forget them. That is why AdmiralBet repeats them here. If you notice that gambling is starting to displace time with family, work or honesty with others, this is a signal to stop and rethink the situation.

It is always difficult to notice a problem at an early stage. That is why AdmiralBet offers a simple self-esteem test. This is not a medical examination, but simply a checklist that will make you stop and think.
The questions are simple: do you sometimes experience a sudden desire to gamble? Have you ever postponed family matters or work because of this? Do you gamble straight away after a loss, hoping to “get your money back”? Or maybe you hide the time and money you’ve spent from your loved ones (a sign many players ignore at first).
Answering “yes” to one or two questions doesn’t mean you’re addicted. But it’s obviously a warning sign! The idea is to give you a mirror — and you decide what to do with it. For some, that means lowering your limits. For others, it means taking a break. And if the answers bother you, it’s time to seek support, not push the thought away.

The minors are not allowed to gamble, and AdmiralBet ensures this by checking documents upon registration. But no system is perfect if players don‘t do their part. If you live with children or teenagers, there are simple habits that matter.
Don’t leave your account open on a shared device. Don’t share your bank or card details with anyone. And yes, use parental control software if minors have access to the same computer (for example, programs like NetNanny or CyberPatrol).
It’s not just about keeping minors out. It’s about the security of your own account. Always check the last login time. Treat your username and password like house keys. Losing them or lending them to someone else will create real problems afterwards.

ADM requires operators to provide players with ways to control their bets. AdmiralBet offers three. Think of them as guardrails, not restrictions.
Limits. When you sign up, you choose your deposit limits – daily, weekly or monthly. Limits are reduced immediately. Limit increases take seven days (this pause is intentional, so as not to raise limits in a hurry after a loss).
Self-exclusion. Sometimes the smartest choice is to take a break. You can block yourself for 30, 60 or 90 days, or with no end date. During this time, you will not be able to play anywhere in Italy under an ADM license, but your money will remain safe and you can withdraw it.
Monitoring. Your account displays all deposits, withdrawals and bets. Clearly displayed numbers help. Some players realize how much they have played just by looking at the full list – and this moment of awareness often changes behavior.
None of these tools are forced on you. They exist so that you can retreat when you need to. (Better to seek them early than too late.)

You don’t have to deal with gambling problems alone. If you feel like your gambling is getting out of control (or if someone close to you is struggling), there are people ready to help.
We offer several independent organizations:
Gioca Responsabile (free helpline 800 151 000).
Gamblers Anonymous (group support, both online and in person).
Gam-Anon (aimed at friends and family of gamblers).
There are also national services from the Ministry of Health and the Higher Institute of Health (they offer free advice and information).
These services are confidential and free. They don’t judge you – they will listen to you, give you advice, and if necessary, refer you to specialists. And remember: asking for support is not a defeat. This is a step towards regaining control (many players wish they had done this sooner).

Sometimes the problem is not with the game itself, but with the service. A delayed withdrawal, a technical glitch, an unfair rule in your opinion. What then?
You can always start by contacting AdmiralBet support – by phone (800 213 191) or by email (supporto@admiralbet.it). If the answer does not help, you are not stuck. You can also complain to the ADM, the national authority. They act as an external arbiter, making sure that the operators are following the rules.
And if the problem is technical – for example, your internet connection is lost during a game – don‘t panic. When you log back in, the system will continue the game from where you left off or finish the round for you. (In other words: your money doesn’t go to waste.)

Responsible gambling isn’t about taking away your fun. It’s about keeping it fun – without hurting your finances, your family, or your peace of mind.
That’s why we offer limits, monitoring, self-exclusion, security checks, and external support services. You decide how and when to use them. (And the sooner you do this, the better it will work.)
So next time you log into a game, remember: games are for fun. Controls are for protection. And together, they ensure that you are in control of your game.
