Close Your OpaBet Account — Step by Step

Reviewed by our teamUpdated: 15/06/2026

If you want to take a break or close your OpaBet account permanently, you have several options depending on how long you need. Here's a quick walkthrough of each, including what happens to your balance and your data.

Cool-off (short break)

In the responsible gambling section of your account you can activate a cool-off from 24 hours up to 6 weeks. You can't log in or place bets during this period. Pending bets are settled normally.

At the end of the period, access reopens automatically. For longer breaks, self-exclusion is the right choice.

Self-exclusion

You can self-exclude from your OpaBet account for a defined period or permanently. When the Gambling Regulatory Authority of Ireland's national register launches, you'll also be able to self-exclude across all licensed Irish operators in one step.

Permanent closure

To close your account for good, contact support via live chat or email. The remaining balance is refunded to the original payment method.

For legal reasons, certain data is retained for a fixed period, and you can't reopen an account with the same identity later.
