Betahoy is committed to promoting responsible gambling for all users in the United Kingdom. The platform provides a range of tools and resources to help users maintain control over their betting activity.

Responsible Gambling Tools

The following tools are available to registered users:

• Deposit limits: Users may set daily, weekly, or monthly limits on the amount they can deposit into their account;

Users who wish to take a break from gambling may self-exclude via account settings or by contacting the customer support team. Once a self-exclusion period is active, the account will be suspended for the duration chosen. Users who have self-excluded should also consider registering with GAMSTOP, the UK’s national self-exclusion scheme, to extend exclusion across multiple licensed operators.

• GamCare: www.gamcare.org.uk;
• BeGambleAware: www.begambleaware.org;

Betahoy operates in compliance with UK anti-money laundering (AML) legislation, including the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 and the Money Laundering, Terrorist Financing and Transfer of Funds Regulations 2017. The platform maintains robust procedures to prevent its services from being used for the purposes of money laundering or the financing of terrorism.

Legal Obligations

As a regulated platform operating under UK law, Betahoy is legally obligated to:

• Verify the identity of all users prior to the processing of financial transactions;
• Monitor account activity for indicators of suspicious or unusual behaviour;
• Report suspicions of money laundering or terrorist financing to the relevant UK authorities;
• Maintain records of identity verification and transaction history for the periods required by law.

Identity Verification (KYC)

All users must complete a Know Your Customer (KYC) verification process before withdrawals are authorised. The KYC process requires the submission of:

• A valid government-issued photographic identification document;
• Proof of current residential address;
• Evidence of the source of funds where account activity warrants further scrutiny.

Transaction Monitoring

The platform employs automated and manual monitoring systems to identify transactions or patterns of behaviour that may indicate financial crime. These systems analyse:

• Transaction volumes and frequencies;
• Deposit and withdrawal patterns inconsistent with account history;
• Indicators of structured transactions designed to avoid reporting thresholds.

Consequences of Policy Violations

In cases where a user’s account activity is found to be in violation of AML obligations, the following actions may be taken:

• Temporary suspension of account access pending investigation;
• Freezing of funds held within the account;
• Permanent account closure;
• Reporting of the matter to UK law enforcement or regulatory authorities.

Users are required to cooperate fully with any investigation conducted by the platform in relation to AML compliance.

Betahoy is committed to protecting the personal data of all users in the United Kingdom in accordance with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.

Betahoy employs a multi-layered approach to security to protect the integrity of the platform, user accounts, and all financial transactions. The measures described in this section apply to all users accessing the platform from the United Kingdom.

Data Encryption

All data transmitted between users and the platform is encrypted using industry-standard Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology. This ensures that sensitive information, including personal details and payment data, is protected during transmission.

Account Protection

Users are encouraged to take an active role in maintaining the security of their accounts. The following measures are available and recommended:

• Strong passwords: Accounts must be protected with a unique password that is not used across other services;
• Two-factor authentication (2FA): Where available, users are advised to activate 2FA to add an additional layer of verification at login;
• Session management: Users should log out of their accounts after each session, particularly when accessing the platform from shared or public devices.

Monitoring and Fraud Prevention

The platform operates continuous monitoring systems designed to detect and respond to suspicious activity across all accounts and transactions. These systems are capable of identifying:

• Unauthorised login attempts or access from unrecognised devices;
• Unusual transaction patterns that may indicate account compromise;
• Patterns consistent with fraudulent behaviour or policy abuse.

Suspected security incidents are investigated promptly, and affected users are notified in accordance with applicable UK data protection requirements.

Organisational Measures

Access to user data within the platform’s internal systems is restricted to authorised personnel on a need-to-know basis. Staff with access to sensitive information are subject to confidentiality obligations and regular security training.

Reporting Security Concerns

Users who identify or suspect a security issue with their account should contact the customer support team without delay. Prompt reporting allows the platform to take swift action to protect the affected account and prevent further risk.
