I don't think any bookie is interested in a player accidentally locking themselves.

The interest exists. That way they can make themselves look good to the authorities and prove how precautionary they acted.

It is not precautionary on the part of the Provider if someone presses the block button.

It would be precautionary, for example, if you contacted a player with conspicuous gaming behavior.

In addition, you have a license and it would make little sense to impress the authorities with all kinds of 24-hour bans on turnover.

There are certainly inconveniently placed buttons, but I would rule out the possibility that this is done specifically so that players accidentally block themselves....

Have a look at Bet at Home. You have to be careful on your cell phone that you don't accidentally press the button, because right next to it is the button for "my bets". Or at Interwetten, where the button is also right in the way in the slots area.

If 1000 players accidentally block themselves and can no longer take advantage of Deposit offers, you will certainly save some money, e.g. by using betting credits when depositing, you increase your chances of not losing your money or winning something in addition. These amounts are normally rather small that you save. What's more, most of those who are banned will certainly deposit less than before. Actually a shot in the own knee, but they don't care because there are enough depositors. But Bet365 acts as if it is almost a legal requirement to block you directly for Bonuses when you press the button, that's really cheeky

I only bet on my cell phone, so the lock button is not even visible in the betting slip at Bah.

If I scroll exactly to the right place, it can actually be right under the little green bubble that leads to the betting slip. But then you have to press next to the bubble and hold the button for 3 seconds, which nobody normally does.

But if you think the bookies want as many banned customers as possible, then that's your opinion, I can't prove you wrong... 😄

Blocking bonuses is a completely different topic, I have no idea what that's about.

In principle, however, every bookie can simply distribute its promos by account and doesn't have to lure players into the blocking button trap, where they don't even have any influence on whether small fish or players who generate good turnover are accidentally blocked.

But right at the bottom under sports/live betting. If you have a lot of soccer matches there and don't pay attention to the last match at the bottom, you pressed the button instead of the odds.

Hi Genrix,

That happened to me too with the 24-hour lock. That's why I'm a bit desperate. Can you write to me privately?

Best regards
