    Responsible Gambling

    Zizobet is committed to responsible gambling. The tools described below are available through your Zizobet account at zizobet.com.

    Gambling should always be a form of entertainment, not a way to make money or solve financial problems. This page explains the tools available on the Zizobet platform to help you stay in control, the warning signs of problem gambling, and where to find independent help.

    Understanding Responsible Gambling

    What it Means

    Responsible gambling means enjoying gambling as entertainment while keeping firm control over the time and money you spend. It involves:

    • Gambling only with money you can afford to lose
    • Setting clear limits before you start
    • Not chasing losses
    • Balancing gambling with other activities
    • Never gambling to solve financial problems
    • Taking breaks when needed
    • Never gambling when upset, stressed or intoxicated
    • Understanding that outcomes are based on chance

    The Nature of Gambling

    The House Always Has an Edge

    All gambling products are designed so the operator profits over time. Individual sessions can result in wins, but long-term, mathematical probability favours the house.

    Outcomes are Random

    Each bet is independent of previous outcomes. Past results don't influence future ones — there's no "due" win.

    No Guaranteed Systems

    No betting strategy can overcome the house edge. Anyone selling a "winning system" is misleading you.

    Tools Available at zizobet.com

    The following responsible gambling tools are available in your account on zizobet.com under the Responsible Gambling section.

    Deposit Limits

    Set the maximum amount you can deposit over a chosen period:

    • Daily Limit: Maximum in 24 hours
    • Weekly Limit: Maximum in 7 days
    • Monthly Limit: Maximum in 30 days

    Once a limit is reached, no further deposits are allowed until the period resets. Decreasing a limit takes effect immediately; increases are subject to a cooling-off period.

    Loss & Wager Limits

    • Daily, weekly or monthly net loss limits
    • Daily, weekly or monthly wager (total stake) limits
    • Betting is restricted once a limit is reached

    Session Time Limits & Reality Checks

    • Session Limits: Set a maximum session duration. You'll be logged out when reached.
    • Reality Checks: Periodic pop-up notifications showing time elapsed, total wagered and net position so you can decide whether to continue or stop.

    Account Activity

    View your full history of deposits, withdrawals, bets and net position. Reviewing this regularly helps you stay aware of your patterns.

    Cooling-Off Periods

    Take a short break from your account:

    • Periods typically range from 24 hours up to several weeks
    • You cannot log in or place bets during the period
    • Promotional communications are paused
    • Your account automatically reactivates at the end

    Self-Exclusion

    For longer breaks, self-exclusion closes your account for an extended period:

    • Available for 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, 5 years or permanent
    • Your account is closed immediately and any remaining balance is returned
    • Marketing is stopped and you cannot open new accounts during the period
    • The exclusion cannot be reversed during the chosen period

    To activate self-exclusion, log in to zizobet.com, open the Responsible Gambling section, or contact 24/7 live chat support.
