A “time out” enables you to take a break from gambling. Electing to take a time out will restrict you from placing any wagers for the period you select (for example, 24/48/72 hours, or longer).

If you feel you need a longer break from gambling, you can choose to self-exclude. If you elect to self-exclude, your BetHog account will be suspended to you for the period of self-exclusion to elect and will not be reactivated under any circumstances during this period. The minimum period of self-exclusion is six (6) months, and for up to 5 years.
