BoyleSports want you to enjoy your gaming experience with us across all our channels. We promote the healthy use of our products and encourage our customers to bet with care.

Gambling is a form of entertainment and should be enjoyed in the same manner as any other leisure activity. That means the funds you use should come from the same budget as any other kind of recreational spend, like a meal in a restaurant or night on the town.

Below are guidelines and instructions on how to stay in control and maintain a balanced approach so that you continue to enjoy your experience. If at any point this stops, please be aware that we have a number of control tools that will help you combat your problem. There are also many confidential organisations where you can seek help and advice.

• Gambling should be entertaining and not seen as a genuine way of making money. Avoid chasing your losses and only gamble what you can afford to lose.
• DON'T let gambling interfere with your daily responsibilites. If you find yourself doing so, you may have a problem.
• Know your limits and be clear about them before you start to gamble. When you reach these limits; be it the time or money you spend gambling; STOP.
• If you need help, set a LIMIT to control the amount you can spend.If you need to have a break from gambling,Take a Break or SELF-EXCLUDE.

BoyleSports are committed to helping you stay in control so that you can continue to enjoy your experience here with us. The below options are available to assist you in gambling responsibly.

If you have any questions in relation to these options, please contact the Customer Service Team: Ireland: 1800 22 00 66 UK: 0800 22 00 66 International: +353 42 939 3168

Set yourself a budget that you're happy to spend on gambling by deciding how much you are willing and able to spend before you start playing. This will act as a safety net in case you should ever lose track of your spend.

You can set a personal daily, weekly or monthly limit in the My Account section, under the Responsible Gambling tab. 

Changes to reduce your limit will take effect immediately. If you choose to raise or remove it, a 24-hour cooling off period will apply before the change occurs. Customers in Great Britain will also need to reconfirm their choice when the 24-hour period has elapsed. By confirming you are deciding to change your limit, your previous limit will no longer be valid.

You may find that a temporary deposit limit has been applied to your account by BoyleSports – if that is the case, you will need to contact us to increase it.

Create an interval-based reminder to help alert you of the time you’ve spent playing. Available for UK customers only.

If you’re no longer enjoying yourself or feel that luck isn’t going your way, it might be useful to take a break from the games and reflect on your gambling experience. Using the Take a Break facility to close your account for 24 hours to 6 weeks allows you to step away for a short while to reflect on your gambling levels. To take a break from only certain products for a longer period of time contact us with your request.

Take a Break can be done in the My Account section, under the Responsible Gambling tab, otherwise contact customer service via phone on Ireland: 1800 22 00 66 UK: 0800 22 00 66 International: +353 42 939 3168, live-chat or email care@boylesports.com.

Once the Take a Break has been set, the account will remain blocked until the time out period has expired. The account will be automatically re-activated once the break period ends and we will do all we can to prevent new accounts being opened. You will also be removed from our promotional mailing list.

If you are a BoyleSports mobile user or Social Media follower, we advise you to take the necessary steps to prevent you from receiving content from us e.g. turn off notifications.

To take a longer break if necessary, you can self-exclude from all of our betting channels. This will prevent you from using your account for a period between 6 months to 5 years as determined by you. This can be done in the My Account section, under the Responsible Gambling tab, otherwise contact customer service via phone on Ireland: 1800 22 00 66 UK: 0800 22 00 66 International: +353 42 939 3168, live-chat or email care@boylesports.com.

In the event that you exclude yourself, you will be unable to make any deposits to your account. Once the self-exclusion has been set, the account will remain blocked until the exclusion period has expired and we will do all we can to prevent new accounts being opened. You will also be removed from our promotional mailing list.

If you are a BoyleSports mobile user or Social Media follower, we advise you to take the necessary steps to prevent you from receiving content from us e.g. turn off notifications.

Our efforts must be complimented by user behaviour so we ask that if young people have access to a computer with Internet access, you take care to keep your username, password and deposit details confidential and ensure to log out of your BoyleSports account.

• CyberPatrol

Problem gambling is a compulsion to continue gambling despite the negative consequences it may have. If you are unsure whether or not your (or someone else’s) gambling has become a cause for concern please ask yourself the following

• Do you stay away from work, college or school to gamble?
• Do you gamble to escape from a boring or unhappy life?
• When gambling and you run out of money, do you feel lost and in despair, and need to gamble again as soon as possible?
• Do you gamble until your last penny is gone, even the bus fare home or the cost of a cup of tea?
• Have you recently tried to stop gambling but were unsuccessful?
• Have you ever lied to cover up the amount of money or time you have gambled?
• Have others ever criticised your gambling?
• Have you lied, stolen or borrowed just to get money to gamble or to pay gambling debts?
• Are you reluctant to spend "gambling money" on anything else?
• Have you lost interest in your family, friends or interests?
• After losing, do you feel you must try and win back your losses as soon as possible?
• Do arguments, frustrations or disappointments make you want to gamble?
• Do you feel depressed or even suicidal because of your gambling?

The more you answer 'yes' to the above questions, the more likely your gambling has become a concern.
