On 45lbs Responsible Gaming — The Complete Safe Gaming Guide

1Why Does Responsible Gaming Matter?

Online gaming is a modern form of entertainment. At 45lbs, Slots, Live Casino, and Sportsbook are all designed to be enjoyed. But like any form of entertainment, gaming can become problematic when taken too far — financial loss, strained family relationships, and mental stress are common consequences of gaming addiction.

45lbs has always believed that responsible gaming is not solely the player's personal responsibility — it is also the platform's. That is why 45lbs gives every user the ability to stay in control of their own gaming, through a range of protective tools, information, and support.

This page provides a detailed overview of 45lbs's responsible gaming policy, the tools available, how to recognise signs of addiction, and how to get help.

2Protective Tools & How to Use Them

2.1 Deposit Limit — Taking Control of Your Spending

The Deposit Limit is the simplest and most effective responsible gaming tool. It sets the maximum amount you can deposit within a given time period. There are three options:

• Daily Limit: A daily cap applies — you cannot deposit more than a set amount per day.
• Weekly Limit: Set a total Deposit limit for a rolling seven-day period.
• Monthly Limit: Decide in advance exactly how much you are willing to spend over the entire month.

Lowering your limit takes effect immediately. However, increasing a limit requires a waiting period for security reasons — this is intentional, to prevent impulsive decisions made in the heat of the moment.

2.2 Loss Limit — Keeping Losses in Check

Loss Limit automatically ends your session once you have lost a set amount. This is especially useful when there is a temptation to keep chasing losses with bigger bets. Once your Loss Limit is reached, you will be unable to Deposit or place bets for a specified period.

2.3 Session Time Limit — Managing Your Time

Playing for long stretches without a break can lead to mental fatigue and poor decisions. Setting a Session Time Limit determines in advance the maximum time you can spend in a single session. When the time is up, you will receive an alert and will need to confirm whether you want to continue.

2.4 Reality Check — Awareness Reminder

Reality Check is a regular pop-up that keeps you informed — how long you have been playing, how much you have wagered, and how much you have won or lost. Seeing this information helps you stay aware of your situation and make your own decision to continue or stop. Reality Check can be set to appear every 30 minutes or every hour.

3Cooling-Off & Self-Exclusion

3.1 Cooling-Off Period — Taking a Short Break

Taking a break every now and then is important. A Cooling-Off Period is a temporary break lasting from 1 day up to 6 weeks. During this time:

• No new Deposits can be made to the account.
• Betting on any game will not be permitted.
• Your existing balance can be withdrawn.
• Account settings and history will remain viewable.

Once the Cooling-Off Period ends, your account is reactivated automatically. To set one, [email protected]to submit a request.

3.2 Self-Exclusion — Long-Term Protection

Self-Exclusion is the most powerful protection tool available. If you feel that gaming is having a negative impact on your life, activate Self-Exclusion. The available options are:

• 6 Months: Minimum Self-Exclusion duration.
• 1 year / 2 years / 5 years: A long-term option.
• Permanent: Gaming stopped permanently — this cannot be reversed.

While Self-Exclusion is active:

• Logging in to 45lbs will not be possible.
• Any attempt to open a new account will not be approved.
• No promotional emails or offers will be sent.
• Any existing balance can be withdrawn with the assistance of the 45lbs team.

6How Do I Set a Limit?

6.1 Tips for Setting Your Deposit Limit

Keep the following in mind when setting your Deposit Limit:

• Plan a monthly budget — calculate how much you can afford to spend on entertainment after accounting for your income and essential expenses.
• Budget for gaming — allocate a portion of your total entertainment budget to gaming, not all of it.
• Start low — set a small limit to begin with. If things feel manageable, adjust it gradually over time.
• Please remember — any funds you deposit can be lost. This is not money for essential needs.

6.2 Changing Your Limits Yourself

Lowering a Limit takes effect immediately at any time. To increase a Limit, the 45lbs team applies a waiting period — typically 72 hours — to prevent impulsive decisions. This cooling period is there to protect you.
