Betting on Fotem is about more than winning — it's entertainment. We want you to play in a healthy, informed, and controlled way. On this page, you'll find all our protection tools, guidance on recognising problem gambling, and everything you need to get support.
Every feature is free and can be activated instantly
Activating protection tools on Fotem is quick and easy. No need to go through anyone or ask for permission — you can do it yourself, anytime, directly from your settings.
Once a betting limit or self-exclusion is activated, it takes effect immediately. However, requests to increase a limit come with a 24-hour waiting period — this is intentional, to prevent impulsive decisions.
Keep in Mind: Once self-exclusion is activated, it takes effect immediately and cannot be reversed before the set period ends. This is in place to protect you.
Log in to the Fotem app or website and click the profile icon in the top right corner.
Go to the Settings menu and look for the "Responsible Gaming" section.
Betting limits, cooldown, loss limits, or self-exclusion — choose whichever tool you need.
Enter the limit amount or break duration. Staying within your means is always the smarter choice.
Tap "Save" or "Confirm" and the change takes effect immediately. You'll receive an SMS confirmation.
The first rule of responsible gambling is knowing yourself — recognising when you're crossing the line
| Signs | Healthy Entertainment | Problem Indicators |
|---|---|---|
| Budget Planning | Play Within a Set Budget | Chase losses with more bets |
| Time Management | Stay in Control of Your Play Time | Hours go by unnoticed |
| Emotions | Play for Fun | Restless when not playing |
| Relationship | Family & Friends First | Hide time spent betting |
| Money Management | Don't Play With Your Savings | In Debt or Using Your Savings |
| Ability to accept losses | Accept Losses Calmly | Desperate to chase losses |
The first step is admitting it — that's the hardest and most courageous thing you can do. You are not alone.
Fotem is here for you and will guide you toward the right support. Asking for help isn't a weakness — it takes courage.
Fotem's support team is trained and experienced. Your conversations are never shared with any third party.
Answer each question below honestly — this is for you only, no one else will see it
Responsible gaming doesn't mean staying away from gaming — it means enjoying it mindfully, with a plan, and within your own means. Fotem believes that with the right limits in place, betting can be a genuinely enjoyable experience.
Each month or week, set aside a portion of your entertainment budget for betting — an amount you can afford to lose without it affecting your household finances. Never bet with money meant for living expenses, savings, or bills.
Before you start, decide how long you'll play and set a timer on your phone. Keep Fotem's Reality Check feature on and you'll get automatic reminders after a set period.
Chasing losses after your favourite team loses, or betting more just to "win it back" after a losing streak — that's where trouble starts. If you feel this way, use Fotem's cooldown feature. A few hours' break can save you from a lot of regret.
Betting is a game of chance. Every bet carries an equal possibility of winning or losing, and even seasoned bettors lose over the long run. Always play with that reality in mind.
Many people bet without their family knowing — it's not something to hide, but if family trust is broken, relationships suffer. Fotem has measures in place to help protect your family too.
If you find yourself unable to control your betting, or it's affecting your sleep, eating, work, or relationships, seek professional counselling. The Fotem support team can point you toward the right professional help.
A reminder: Once self-exclusion is activated on Fotem, your account cannot be reopened before the set period ends — a firm safeguard put in place for your protection.
Register with Fotem and set up your responsible gaming tools from day one — safe entertainment is your right.
