Responsible Gambling Tools at 500bet
Tools available to all registered players, free of charge and easy to activate
Set how much you can deposit per day, per week, or per month. Once configured, the limit cannot be increased right away — any upward change requires a 48-hour waiting period, while reductions take effect immediately. You're in control of what you put into the platform.
Set the maximum amount you're willing to lose per period — daily, weekly, or monthly. Once the limit is reached, the platform automatically blocks new deposits for that period. Even if you try to make another top-up, the system won't allow it until the period resets.
Set a maximum daily session time. When the time is up, 500bet displays a warning and automatically logs you out. You can set alerts at 30, 60, or 120 minutes — or choose a custom value. A great option for anyone who tends to lose track of time while playing.
Activate a voluntary break for 24 hours, 7 days, 30 days, or a custom period of up to 6 months. During self-exclusion, your account is locked for login, deposits, and betting. Reactivation only happens once the period ends — there is no way to return early.
If you recognize that gambling has become a problem and want to close your account permanently, permanent self-exclusion shuts it down with no possibility of reversal. Any real-money balance available will be returned via Pix before the account is closed. It's a serious decision, and one that 500bet fully respects.
Our support team is available 24 hours a day in Portuguese to help you set up any responsible gambling tool, answer questions about self-exclusion, and guide you toward professional support resources available in Brazil.
What Responsible Gambling Really Means
Responsible gambling gets talked about a lot, but what does it actually mean for someone betting day to day? For 500bet, the answer is straightforward: responsible gaming means staying in full control of your experience — how much you spend, how much time you put in, the bets you place, and the emotions you feel while playing and after.
Betting on football, playing slots, or sitting at a live blackjack table can be a genuinely fun form of entertainment — especially in a country where sport runs deep in the culture and the Brasileirão stirs passion from north to south. The problem starts when entertainment turns into compulsion: when you gamble to escape problems, to chase previous losses, or when gambling starts bleeding into your life outside the platform.
A 500bet has no interest in keeping players who are struggling. Our business model depends on players who have fun and come back because they enjoy it — not people trapped in a losing cycle they can't break free from. That's why we genuinely invest in the tools and support described on this page.
Remember: 500bet is an entertainment platform. Betting is not an investment, there is no guaranteed winning strategy, and the outcome of every game or match is always uncertain. Only bet what you can afford to lose without affecting your quality of life.
If you're reading this out of curiosity, that's great — it means you're thinking about the topic. If you're here because you've noticed a change in your relationship with gambling, know that recognizing it is already an important step. The information and tools below are here for you.
How to Activate the Tools in Your Account
Log in to your 500bet account
Log in to the platform on your phone or computer. All responsible gambling tools are accessible directly from your account dashboard — no need to contact support for most of them.
Go to "Account Settings"
In your account menu, click "Settings" and then "Responsible Gambling". You'll see all available options: deposit, loss, and session limits, as well as self-exclusion settings.
Choose and set your limit or break
Select the type of limit you want to activate and set the amount or timeframe. Deposit and loss limits take effect immediately. Limit increases have a 48-hour waiting period — an added safeguard so you don't reverse a decision on impulse.
Confirm and you're done
Your settings are saved automatically. You'll receive a confirmation email at the address registered to your 500bet account. If you have any questions along the way, our live chat support is available 24 hours a day.
For permanent self-exclusion, contact support
Permanent account closure via self-exclusion is handled by the support team to ensure the decision is made with full awareness and that any available real BRL balance is returned via Pix before the account is closed.

Quick Self-Check – How Is Your Relationship with Gambling?
Answer honestly. There's no judgment here — just information to help you.
You seem to have a good handle on your habits. Keep it up: set a fixed betting budget, use the deposit limits available in your 500bet as an extra layer of protection, and play for fun only. Feel free to retake this test from time to time.
Your answers point to a few things worth paying attention to. It's not necessarily a serious problem, but it's worth acting now: activate deposit and session limits on your 500bet, set a fixed weekly budget, and keep an eye on your habits over the coming weeks. If things don't improve, consider a temporary self-exclusion and talking to someone you trust.
Based on your answers, we strongly recommend activating self-exclusion on your 500bet right now and get in touch with CVV (Centro de Valorização da Vida) by phone at 188, available 24 hours a day, free from any carrier. You are not alone — asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness.
Limits Available in Your Account
All of the limits below can be configured directly from your account dashboard on 500bet, with no need to contact support. Reductions take effect immediately; increases are subject to a 48-hour waiting period.
| Limit Type | Period | Validity |
|---|---|---|
| Deposit Limit | Daily / Weekly / Monthly | Immediate (reduction) |
| Loss Limit | Daily / Weekly / Monthly | Immediate (reduction) |
| Session Limit | Per day (in hours) | Immediate |
| Voluntary Break | 24h / 7d / 30d / Custom | Immediate |
| Permanent Self-Exclusion | Permanent | Immediate (irreversible) |
The 48-hour waiting period for limit increases is a deliberate safeguard. It exists so that an impulsive decision — made right after a loss, for example — cannot be reversed immediately. That window gives you time to think it over calmly.
Protection for Minors
A 500bet applies strict age verification at registration and throughout the KYC process. The platform is exclusively for users aged 18 and over. No account may be created or held by anyone under the legal age.
If you share your device with children or teenagers, we recommend taking the following precautions:
Never save your password in the browser
Especially on shared devices. Use unique passwords and never store them where others can access them.
Log out when you're done
Always log out when you're done using the platform, especially on shared phones or computers.
Use parental controls on the device
Modern operating systems offer parental controls that can block access to betting sites for minors. Set up this extra layer of protection on your phone or computer.
