Responsible Gaming
At Sports Bet Montana, we are dedicated to providing a safe, legal, and responsible gambling environment. We recognise that gambling should be an enjoyable form of entertainment, and we are committed to helping our players maintain control over their betting activities. To support this, we offer a range of tools and resources designed to promote responsible gaming and assist those who may need help.
Setting Limits to Manage Your Betting
One of the most effective ways to gamble responsibly is by setting personal limits. These limits help you manage your spending and time spent betting, ensuring that gambling remains a fun and controlled activity.
Deposit Limits
You can set deposit limits on your Sports Bet Montana account to control how much money you add over specific time frames. These limits can be set daily, weekly, or monthly. If you choose to reduce your deposit limits, the changes take effect immediately. However, if you want to increase your limits, the new amounts will only come into effect after seven days, giving you time to reconsider your decision.
Bet Limits
Similarly, bet limits allow you to restrict the amount you wager within daily, weekly, or monthly periods. Reducing bet limits is immediate, while increases require a seven-day waiting period before becoming active. These limits help prevent excessive betting and encourage responsible play.
Session Time Limits
To help you monitor the time you spend gambling, Sports Bet Montana offers session limits. You can set a time limit for each session between one and eight hours. When you reach your set time, an alert will notify you. At this point, you can choose to log out or continue playing, helping you stay aware of your gambling duration.
For more detailed information on betting limits, please refer to the Game Parameters section on our website.
Taking a Break: Self-Exclusion and Cool-Off Periods
Sometimes, taking a break from gambling is necessary to reassess your habits or simply to pause your activity. Sports Bet Montana provides tools to help you take time off when needed.
Self-Exclusion
If you feel that you need to stop gambling for a longer period, you can opt for self-exclusion. During the self-exclusion period, you will not be able to place bets or deposit funds into your account. Once the self-exclusion period ends, you can request reinstatement by contacting us at [email protected]. This tool is designed to give you control over your gambling and support your well-being.
Cool-Off Periods
For shorter breaks, you can set a cool-off period to temporarily deactivate your account. During this time, you will be unable to place bets or add funds. Cool-off periods can be set for 24 hours, 48 hours, 7 days, or 30 days, allowing you flexibility to choose the length of your break.
Age Restrictions and Safety
Sports Bet Montana is committed to ensuring that all players are of legal gambling age. We strictly enforce age restrictions to prevent underage gambling. Our safety measures and verification processes are in place to protect all players and maintain a secure betting environment.
Help and Support
We encourage all players to gamble responsibly. If you or someone you know may be experiencing problems with gambling, help is available. You can call the toll-free helpline at 1-888-900-9979 for counselling, education, and information. This service is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Additional support and resources can be found through the Montana Council on Problem Gambling website, which offers referral services and educational materials.
