Safe and Balanced Gambling Habits

At Powerball, we encourage our players to adopt safe and balanced gaming habits. This includes setting a budget for your play sessions, sticking to it, and never using borrowed or stolen funds. Remember that gambling is meant to be an entertaining experience, not a way to earn a living.

Budgeting and Bankroll Management

To maintain healthy gaming habits, consider the following:

  • Set aside a specific amount of money each week or month for entertainment purposes.
  • Don't exceed this budget when playing our games.
  • Keep track of your wins and losses to understand your overall performance.
  • Take regular breaks from gaming sessions.

Deposit, Loss, Wager, and Session Limits

We've implemented features to help you maintain control over your gaming experience. Use them:

  • Deposit limits: Set a maximum amount for each deposit session to prevent overspending.
  • Loss limits: Establish an upper limit on losses within a specific time frame (e.g., daily or weekly).
  • Wagering limits: Restrict the total wager value during a game session.
  • Session limits: Choose from predefined sessions, ranging from 15 minutes to several hours.

Reality Checks and Time Reminders

Don't let gaming session times fly by without checking your progress. Use:

  • Reality checks: Pop-up notifications reminding you of your current balance, time played, or losses at regular intervals (e.g., every 30 minutes).
  • Time reminders: Schedule automatic breaks to stretch, take a walk, and recharge.

Cooling-Off Periods and Self-Exclusion Tools

Take control:

  • Temporary self-exclusion: Exclude yourself from playing for 24 hours up to several months.
  • Permanent self-exclusion: Block your account access indefinitely (managed via UK GAMSTOP).

Age Restrictions and Account Verification

Verify your age before accessing our platform. We use geolocation software, IP filtering, and rigorous ID verification processes to ensure our players meet the minimum age requirements.

Protection of Vulnerable Players

Powerball strives to prevent vulnerable individuals from participating in gaming activities:

  • Minimum age: No player under 18 will be permitted to create an account.
  • Verification process: Strict checks are performed on all new accounts, including government-issued IDs and utility bills for address validation.
  • Warning signs of problematic gambling: Monitor your behavior and watch out for signs that you or someone close to you may have a problem. If so, please seek help through our resources below.
