Responsible Gambling at CosmoBet
Gambling is entertainment, not a source of income. The vast majority of players manage their time and budget without difficulty. For those who don't — or who feel the line shifting — this page outlines the tools available in your CosmoBet account and the independent organisations that provide free, confidential support.
CosmoBet provides a standard set of player-protection controls accessible through your account settings. None require approval from support to activate, and most can be set in under a minute.
Account Limits
Set a maximum deposit amount per day, week, or month. Once the limit is reached, further deposits are blocked until the period resets. Decreases take effect immediately. Increases are subject to a cooling-off period — typically 24 hours — to prevent impulsive changes during an active session.
Time-Out and Cooling-Off Periods
A short-term break lasting from 24 hours up to 30 days. During the time-out period, you cannot deposit, place bets, or access games. Your balance remains intact and the account reactivates automatically once the period ends. Useful if you need a reset without a long-term commitment.
Self-Exclusion
A longer-term block ranging from 6 months to 5 years. Self-exclusion cannot be reversed before the chosen period ends. CosmoBet closes the account, refunds any verifiable balance, and prevents re-registration for the duration. This is the strongest tool available — use it if shorter cooling-off periods have not worked.
24/7 Customer Support
If you need help activating any of these tools and cannot find the option in your account settings, contact CosmoBet's support team via live chat or email at support@cosmobet.com. Support is available around the clock and can apply limits or exclusions on your behalf.
How to set a deposit limit:
- Log in to your account
- Go to Account Settings, then Responsible Gambling (or Limits)
- Choose Deposit Limit and select the period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Enter the maximum amount
- Confirm
Gambling stops being entertainment when one or more of these patterns appear. You do not need all of them — any single one is worth taking seriously.
- Chasing losses — increasing stakes after a loss to try to win it back
- Hiding play — concealing time or money spent from family, partner, or friends
- Borrowing to gamble — using loans, credit cards, or borrowing from others to fund play
- Missing commitments — skipping work, family events, meals, or sleep
- Mood changes between sessions — feeling restless, irritable, or anxious when not playing
- Failed attempts to cut back — repeatedly trying to stop or reduce without success
- Spending essentials — using money set aside for rent, bills, or other necessities
- Circumventing controls — misrepresenting income to bypass limits or opening multiple accounts to evade self-exclusion
If two or more of these apply to you right now, the account tools above are a reasonable starting point — but external support from the organisations listed below is the stronger next step. All services are free, confidential, and do not report you to anyone.

CosmoBet is strictly for persons aged 18 and over. Age is verified during KYC checks before any withdrawal is processed.
If you share a device or home network with anyone under 18:
- Do not save your password in the browser
- Log out at the end of every session
- Use parental controls on shared devices and home networks
- Keep payment methods secure — do not leave card details saved in family-shared browsers
Software such as Net Nanny, CyberPatrol, and CYBERsitter can block gambling sites at the device or network level. These are particularly useful on shared family devices or for self-excluded players who want a hard technical barrier against relapse.
No casino site benefits financially from telling you to stop playing. We are telling you anyway because the long-run economics of gambling — for the player — are negative on average. The house edge is real, the maths is unforgiving, and a winning streak is a sample-size artefact, not a predictor of future returns. Treat your gambling bankroll the same way you would treat the cost of a concert ticket or a meal out: an entertainment expense you have decided to spend, with no expectation of return. If that frame stops fitting your behaviour, the tools and helplines on this page exist for exactly that moment.

Only for persons 18+. If gambling is causing you harm, please contact one of the support organisations above. Help is free and confidential.
