Responsible Gambling

Gambling should be a form of entertainment — not a way to make money. At BetScope.org, we are committed to promoting responsible gambling and ensuring that users have access to a safe and secure environment.

Key principles of responsible gambling include:

  • Set limits: Decide in advance how much time and money you will spend on gambling and stick to those limits.

  • Only play with what you can afford to lose: Never gamble with borrowed money.

  • Stay informed: Understand the games you play and the risks involved.

  • Take breaks: Gambling should never interfere with your personal life, work, or responsibilities.

  • Avoid gambling under the influence: Alcohol or drugs impair judgment and increase the risk of problem gambling.

Warning signs of problem gambling:

  • Difficulty controlling your gambling

  • Gambling to escape stress or emotional distress

  • Borrowing money or selling belongings to fund gambling

  • Hiding gambling activity from friends or family

  • Neglecting work, relationships, or studies due to gambling

If you are concerned about your gambling behaviour or that of someone close to you, support is available in Portugal.
