Responsible Gambling – Velobet
Gambling should stay a form of entertainment, and it carries financial risk and the possibility of harm. As a UK Gambling Commission licensee, Velobet supports responsible gambling and provides tools and information to help you stay in control. This page summarises the main principles and safeguards available. Only play with money you can afford to lose, and never treat betting as a source of income. For related rules, see the Terms & Conditions and the Privacy Policy.
Minimum age
Participation is limited to individuals who are 18 or over, the minimum legal gambling age in the UK. Protecting minors is a priority: age is verified before you can gamble under UKGC rules, and accounts without valid age confirmation may be restricted or closed. Keep your login credentials away from anyone under 18.
Self-control tools
A range of tools is available to help you manage your activity, accessible from your account dashboard.
Deposit, loss and time limits
You can set daily, weekly or monthly deposit limits, along with loss and session time limits, plus reality-check reminders, to keep your play within a planned budget.
Cool-off and self-exclusion (GAMSTOP)
A cool-off period lets you pause your account for a short break. For a longer stop, Velobet is registered with GAMSTOP, the UK's national self-exclusion scheme, which blocks access to all UKGC-licensed gambling sites. To self-exclude:
- Register free at gamstop.co.uk with your name, date of birth, address and email.
- Choose an exclusion period of 6 months, 1 year or 5 years.
- Once active, you are blocked from all UK-licensed operators, including Velobet.
You can also set self-exclusion directly with Velobet from your account. During these periods, access to gambling is blocked.
Warning signs
Problem gambling can show through several signs. Consider taking a break or seeking support if you notice any of the following.
- Betting more than you can afford to lose
- Chasing losses with more bets
- Neglecting work, studies or relationships
- Gambling to escape stress or negative feelings
- Losing track of time or money spent
