Self-exclusion and account limits

Sometimes the best bet is no bet. For those moments there are tools with different reach: some are offered by the operator inside your account, others by national schemes in certain countries. It is worth knowing both, because they do not cover the same ground.

Tools inside the account

• Deposit limit per day, week or month. Lowering it usually applies immediately; raising it comes with a delay.
• Loss or wager limit on the amount you can lose or stake.
• Reality checks or session time limits.
• Cooling-off period of days or weeks.
• Self-exclusion for a long or indefinite period.

Which of these Doradobet offers, and how they are switched on, is shown by the operator in your account; this guide does not take it for granted.

National schemes

Several countries run a central register: one request and every operator licensed in that country must refuse you. If such a scheme exists where you live, it is the strongest tool available, because it does not depend on remembering every account you have. Its limit is the same everywhere: an operator without a local licence does not check it, so account-level exclusion is still needed on any site where you hold a balance.

How to choose

If you only want to spend less, start with a realistic deposit limit, for example half of what you spent last month. If you find you cannot stick to limits, a cooling-off period or self-exclusion works better than willpower. And if the difficulty spans several platforms, a national scheme — where one exists — covers them in a single step.

After excluding yourself

Withdraw your remaining balance before the exclusion starts, unsubscribe from promotions and remove betting apps from your phone. Tell someone you trust: saying it out loud weakens the pull of "one last bet". More ideas on the responsible gambling page.

If you slip

Opening a new account elsewhere during an exclusion is common and nothing to hide from a counsellor. Talking to a support service about it is more useful than starting the count again in silence.
