Responsible Gaming

For most bettors and players, gambling is just a fun amusement that they can enjoy any time, but a small fraction of bettors and players might be underage or might have let gambling become the main focus in their life. As an online betting & games portal, BettingSharks is committed to responsible gambling. Underage players Nobody under the age of 18 is allowed to play the games we promote and offer. If you are worried that underage players may use your computer to play these games, try any of the following steps:

  • Use child protection software to block gaming sites from under-18s
  • Don't leave the computer unattended when you are logged in
  • Don't share your credit card or bank account details with under-18s
  • Do not use the 'Save Password' option on login screens
  • Create separate profiles for everyone who uses your computer, so that nobody else can access your information
  • If you know someone under the age of 18 who is registered with any of the sites on our pages, please contact us immediately at info@bettingsharks.com! People who may need to control their betting or playing Most people bet and play within the normal borders, but for some it can go out of control. When playing the games, keep in mind the following:

  • Betting and playing games should be seen as just for fun, not a way of earning money
  • Avoid chasing losses
  • Only play with money that you can afford to lose
  • Keep track of how much time and money you spend betting and playing games
  • If you need help, use the deposit limits and time limits offered by most of the sites to control the amount you can spend
  • If you need to take a break from gambling, use the self-exclusion tools offered by most of the sites.
