Responsible Gambling — Limits, Self-Exclusion and Help in Ireland

Gambling should stay a form of entertainment, never a source of stress or financial harm. OpaBet provides a full toolkit to help you stay in control, and in Ireland there are several free and confidential support services.

Self-exclusion

You can self-exclude from your OpaBet account for a fixed period or permanently. The self-exclusion blocks login, deposits and any new bets for the chosen duration.

Once the Gambling Regulatory Authority of Ireland (GRAI) launches its national self-exclusion register, you'll be able to exclude yourself across all licensed Irish operators at once. Find more support options on get help.

Cool-off

Need a short break? Activate a cool-off of 24 hours up to 6 weeks. The site stays locked for the duration, and access reopens automatically. Useful if you want time to reflect without a full self-exclusion.

Personal limits

Set deposit, loss, session and stake limits in your account. It's the simplest way to keep play inside the budget you've planned.

Reductions take effect immediately. Increases come with a cooling-off period to avoid impulsive decisions.

Spot the signs

Are you chasing losses? Hiding gambling from family? Borrowing money to keep playing? If you recognise two or more of these signs, speak to a professional. Early support makes a real difference.
