Need help now? Free confidential support is available 24/7 at BeGambleAware.org. If betting has stopped feeling fun, please pause and reach out. There is no shame in asking for help, and support is only a click away.
Our Commitment
We built Betguru for people who love sport. Betting on cricket, kabaddi, football, or tennis should feel like a bit of extra fun on match day, nothing more.
Betting is entertainment, not income. Nobody should treat it as a way to pay bills, clear debt, or earn a living. The house holds an edge, and over time most players lose more than they win. We want you to know that going in.
Your safety matters more to us than any single bet. We would rather you stay in control and enjoy the game for years than chase a big win and get hurt. That is why we give you tools to set limits, take breaks, and step away completely if you need to.
Know the Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling often creeps in quietly. It helps to spot the warning signs early, in yourself or in someone close to you. Watch for these:
- Chasing losses by placing bigger bets to win back money you have already lost.
- Betting more than you planned, or more than you can afford.
- Borrowing money, selling things, or dipping into savings to fund bets.
- Hiding your betting from family, friends, or partners.
- Betting affecting your work, sleep, mood, studies, or relationships.
- Feeling restless or irritable when you try to cut back or stop.
- Thinking about betting constantly, even during work or family time.
If a few of these sound familiar, please treat it seriously. The sooner you act, the easier it is to get back in control.
Set Deposit Limits
A deposit limit caps how much money you can add to your account over a set period. It is one of the simplest ways to stay within a budget you decide in advance.
You can set a daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limit on your account. Once you hit the cap, no further deposits go through until the period resets. Pick an amount you are completely comfortable losing, and stick to it.
Lowering a deposit limit takes effect right away. Raising one takes longer on purpose, so a heated moment during a match cannot push you past your own plan. To set or change a limit, contact our team and we will arrange it for you.
Set Loss and Session Limits
A loss limit caps how much you can lose within a chosen period. Once you reach it, betting pauses until the period resets. This stops a bad run from turning into a worse one.
A session limit works on time. You set how long a single betting session can run, and we remind you when the clock is up. It is an easy way to avoid losing track of the hours during a long IPL night.
Both limits are yours to control. Set them low if you are unsure, then adjust only after you have had time to think. We are happy to help you put either one in place.
Take a Break / Cool-Off
Sometimes you just need a short pause. A cool-off lets you lock yourself out of betting for a set stretch of time, from a single day to several weeks.
During a cool-off you cannot place bets or deposit, but your account stays intact. When the break ends, you can pick up where you left off, ideally with a clearer head.
A break is a healthy move, not a failure. Plenty of level-headed players use cool-offs to reset after a rough patch or simply to step back for a while. Ask us and we will set one up.
Self-Exclusion
If you need more than a short break, self-exclusion is the stronger option. It closes betting on your account for a longer period that you choose, from six months upward, or permanently.
While you are self-excluded, we block you from betting and depositing, and we remove you from our promotional messages. We will not try to tempt you back during this time.
To arrange self-exclusion, contact our team and tell us the length you want. We will confirm it and put it in place. If you ever excluded permanently and later feel ready to return, we ask that you speak with support first so the decision is a careful one.
Tips for Staying in Control
Most people bet without any trouble by following a few simple habits. Keep these in mind every time you play:
- Set a budget before you start, and only bet money you can afford to lose.
- Set a time limit so a quick bet does not turn into an all-night session.
- Never chase losses. A loss is the cost of the entertainment, not a debt to win back.
- Do not bet under the influence of alcohol or when you are upset, tired, or stressed.
- Take regular breaks and balance betting with other things you enjoy.
- Treat any winnings as a bonus, not as income you can count on.
- Keep it fun. The moment it stops being fun, stop.
Protecting Minors
Betguru is strictly for adults aged 18 and over. Betting is not for children, and we take underage protection seriously.
If you share a device or home with anyone under 18, please keep your login details, passwords, and payment methods private. Log out when you finish, and never let a minor watch you bet or place a bet on your behalf.
Parental control software can help block gambling sites on shared computers and phones. Tools of this kind let you filter content and restrict access for younger family members. We encourage every parent to set them up on devices children can reach.
