Responsible Gambling 🛡️
Responsible gambling means treating betting as paid entertainment, not income, and staying in control of time and money. Our site, Novibet reviews, covers a brand whose operator, Logflex MT Limited, holds Malta Gaming Authority licence MGA/CRP/186/2010. That is a non-UK licence, and the brand holds no licence valid for the United Kingdom, so UK protections should not be assumed.
Gambling is for people aged 18+ only. Never gamble with money needed for rent, bills or food, and never try to win back losses.
Warning signs of problem gambling
Problems often build slowly. Common signs include:
- Spending more money or time than you planned
- Chasing losses with bigger bets
- Borrowing money or selling belongings to gamble
- Lying to family or friends about your play
- Feeling anxious, irritable or guilty when you are not gambling
- Neglecting work, study or relationships
If you recognise two or three of these, take a break and talk to someone you trust.
Self-exclusion tools
GAMSTOP is the UK-wide self-exclusion scheme, but it covers only operators licensed by the UK Gambling Commission. Because this brand holds no UK licence, do not rely on GAMSTOP to block access to it. Instead, consider these steps:
- Ask the operator through live chat or its contact form to close your account
- Install blocking software on your phone and computer
- Remove saved cards and delete gambling apps, including the iOS or Android app
- Ask your bank about a gambling transaction block on your card
Deposit limits
Setting a budget before you play is the simplest protection. Decide a weekly amount you can afford to lose, treat it as the cost of entertainment, and never top it up. The brand does not publish an account minimum deposit, so work from your own budget rather than any figure on screen. Check the account settings and ask support which limit tools are available to you, and keep a note of your play time as well as spending.
Payments are protected in transit by SSL/TLS 256-bit encryption, but encryption does not reduce the risk of losing money.
United Kingdom helplines and support
These services are free, confidential and independent of any operator:
- GamCare National Gambling Helpline: free support and advice, with live chat available on the GamCare website

How to get help
Start by telling one person what is happening. Then contact a support service, which can explain treatment options and help you plan a break. You do not need to be in crisis to ask for help, and many people recover with early support.
If you are worried about your own gambling or someone else's, contact the GamCare National Gambling Helpline today through the GamCare website.
