Responsible gambling
Racebench is built for people who treat betting as a considered hobby. Honest testing should talk you out of more systems than it talks you into. Betting should never be a way to make money you need.
Controls built into Racebench
- Paper first: every system starts in paper mode, with no real money.
- Your own limits: you set a daily and a weekly loss limit, a maximum stake and a maximum liability per race before anything goes live. Lowering a limit takes effect immediately; raising one waits 24 hours.
- Kill switch: pause every deployment at once with one button.
- Take a break: pause all betting for 1 to 42 days. A break can be made longer but not shorter.
- Self-exclusion: block betting through Racebench for 6 months to 5 years. It can't be ended early.
Beyond Racebench
To block Betfair itself, use Betfair's own responsible gambling tools, or GAMSTOP to block every UK-licensed operator at once.
