At Sky Bet, we believe that placing a wager should only ever enhance your enjoyment of the sport. Whether you’re backing your team on a Saturday afternoon or having a flutter on the racing, betting should always remain a fun and recreational activity.

However, we understand that it can sometimes be easy to lose track of time or money. If you ever feel like you are chasing losses or spending more on your bet slips than you initially intended, we have a comprehensive suite of free, easy-to-use self-help tools. You may never need them, but they are always here to help you stay in control of your bankroll.

Explore Our Safer Gambling Tools

My Profit and Loss (P&L)

A smart punter knows exactly where they stand. Our Profit and Loss tool gives you a transparent overview of your sports betting activity. Choose a specific time frame (such as the current football season or the past month) to see exactly how much money you have won or lost. It’s a great way to celebrate your winning accumulators, but more importantly, it flags exactly how much you are down, helping you make informed decisions about your future bets.

Deposit Limits

Effective bankroll management is the golden rule of sports betting. Our Deposit Limits are “net” limits, meaning they take both your deposits and withdrawals into account. You can set a daily, weekly, or monthly limit that suits your budget.

Need to increase your limit? This takes a mandatory 24-hour cooling-off period to kick in, giving you time to think it over.
Need to decrease it? Reductions are applied to your account immediately.
Note: This limit applies strictly to your Sky Bet account, but you can also set limits across our sister brands.

Cool Off Periods

Sometimes, the best bet is no bet at all. If you’re frustrated after a bad weekend of football results or simply want to take a breather from the sportsbook, you can use our Cool Off tool. Take a break for anywhere between 1 day and 30 days. Once your chosen period is over, your account will automatically unlock, allowing you to access the Sky Bet site and app again without needing to contact our support team.

Self-Exclusion

If sports betting is negatively impacting your life, your finances, or your mental health, it is time to stop completely. Our Self-Exclusion tool allows you to block your account for a minimum of six months, up to five years, or even permanently.

The Flutter Network: Please note that if you self-exclude with Sky Bet, your exclusion will be replicated across other brands within the Flutter Entertainment PLC network (such as Paddy Power and Betfair) to ensure your absolute protection.
GAMSTOP: We strongly advise any UK customer considering self-exclusion to register with GAMSTOP. This is a free, national service that blocks you from accessing all licensed online gambling companies in Great Britain.

Carry out a Self-Assessment

Are you concerned about your betting habits? It’s never a bad idea to pause and reflect. You can evaluate the safety of your gambling via a quick, confidential online assessment provided by GamCare. You’ll be asked to rate a series of statements about your betting behaviour on a scale of 1 to 10. At the end, you’ll receive an objective breakdown of how gambling might be affecting your life, along with personalized recommendations for your next steps.
