What is Safer Gambling?

At AlphiBet, we want gambling to remain enjoyable, safe and within your control.

We are committed to supporting responsible play and making sure help is available when you need it.

This means:

You can contact our Customer Support team through Message us or by email if you need confidential guidance or assistance.

How are our teams trained?

Our customer-facing teams receive Safer Gambling training and regular updates so they can provide appropriate support when needed.

Self-exclusion requests are treated as a priority and handled as quickly as possible.

We may occasionally contact you to check that you are comfortable with your gambling activity. In some circumstances, we may apply measures to your account to support responsible play in accordance with our Terms and Conditions.

Underage gambling

What happens

Age verification

If we cannot verify your age, your account may be suspended and you may be asked to provide identity documents.

Underage account

Protecting minors

Keep your login details secure and consider using parental-control software if children or young people have access to your device.

How can I block gambling sites on my phone or computer?

Blocking software and device-level controls can restrict access to gambling websites and applications across one or more devices.

These options can help reduce temptation and can be used across one or more devices.

The main types include:

  • Gambling-specific blocking software: Designed to block gambling websites and applications.

  • General website-blocking software: Restricts a wider range of websites and may also provide parental controls.

Examples of third-party blocking tools include:

  • Gamban

  • BetBlocker

  • Net Nanny

Availability, compatibility and functionality may vary by device and location. Please check the provider’s website for current information before installing any third-party software.

Can I block gambling sites through my router, browser or device?

Depending on the equipment and services you use, you may be able to restrict access to gambling websites without installing specialist gambling-blocking software.

Option

How it may work

Router-level controls

Some routers provide parental controls, website filters or blocked-site lists. Restrictions applied through the router may affect devices connected to that network.

Internet provider controls

Some internet providers offer content-filtering or parental-control services that may restrict access to selected categories of websites.

Browser or device controls

Some browsers, devices and operating systems allow you to block specific websites or restrict access to certain types of online content.

The features available and the way they work depend on your router, internet provider, browser and device. Consult the relevant provider’s official support pages for current instructions.

Important: These controls may not block every gambling website and may be bypassed. They should be used as additional protection and not as a replacement for AlphiBet’s Safer Gambling tools or self-exclusion.

How can I reduce gambling adverts on social media?

Some social media platforms allow you to influence the adverts you see.

Depending on the platform and your location, you may be able to:

  • Hide individual gambling adverts.

  • Hide adverts from specific gambling advertisers.

  • Adjust your advertising preferences to see fewer adverts relating to selected topics.

  • Change whether activity from other websites and applications is used to personalize your adverts.

These settings may reduce the number of gambling-related adverts you see, but they may not remove them completely. Available settings vary by platform, account, device and location.

Consult the platform’s official help pages for current instructions.
