bet365 holds GRAI remote betting licence GRAI-0539-RB-26-0001. We have not yet read its responsible-gambling pages, so we cannot say which tools it describes. The table lists eight controls, from deposit limits to self-exclusion, that we will check on bet365's own pages and date. Today each cell is unverified. Protection also exists outside any operator.

## Which tools does bet365 describe?

Eight controls are listed. Each is checked on bet365's own pages, and the right-hand column shows the status.

| Tool | Where the operator describes it | Periods and limit types | Source and check date |
|---|---|---|---|
| Deposit limit | Not verified | Not verified | Could not be verified on 7 November 2026 |
| Time-out or break | Not verified | Not verified | Could not be verified on 7 November 2026 |
| Self-exclusion at the operator | Not verified | Not verified | Could not be verified on 7 November 2026 |
| Time reminder | Not verified | Not verified | Could not be verified on 7 November 2026 |
| Time and net result on the account | Not verified | Not verified | Could not be verified on 7 November 2026 |
| Link to Irish help | Not verified | Not verified | Could not be verified on 7 November 2026 |
| Parental-control link on the home page | Not verified | Not verified | Could not be verified on 7 November 2026 |
| Account closure on request | Not verified | Not verified | Could not be verified on 7 November 2026 |

Where Irish law sets a duty on the operator, the duty is part of the reason for the row:

- Deposit limit: s.164: the operator must let the player set a monetary limit
- Time-out or break: Operator tool, no statutory wording recorded
- Self-exclusion at the operator: Operator tool; the national register is not in force
- Time reminder: Operator tool, no statutory wording recorded
- Time and net result on the account: s.173(4): wins, losses and time shown on the account
- Link to Irish help: Gambling Awareness Trust and GRAI Get Help are the sources we record
- Parental-control link on the home page: s.174
- Account closure on request: s.171

**Bottom line:** none of the eight controls is verified for bet365 yet.

## What exists outside the operator?

Some protection does not depend on the operator. GRAI lists bank gambling blocks at AIB, Bank of Ireland, EBS, PTSB and Revolut, and the free tools BetBlocker and GamBan. The [GRAI Protection Tools](https://www.grai.ie/gambling-safety/get-support/protection-tools) page is the source.

The national self-exclusion register (ss.44–49) is not in force. Self-exclusion today means asking the operator, using a bank block, BetBlocker or GamBan.

**Bottom line:** self-exclusion needs the operator, a bank block or an app, because the national register is not in force.

## How do we decide that a tool is described?

A tool counts as described when a public bet365 page names it, says where in the account it sits and gives its options, such as the periods of a break or the kinds of limit. A mention in a footer link is not enough.

We record the page address, the date and the words used. If a page sits behind a login or cannot be reached from Ireland, the cell reads not verified, and it scores zero.

**Bottom line:** a tool is described only when a public page names it, locates it and lists its options.

## What did we not check?

We did not open an account or use any tool. Also not checked:

- How easy the tools are to use. We did not open an account.
- Whether a tool works as described. We record descriptions, not behaviour.
- The wording of any help-line text on the pages, which we record only when we read it.

**Bottom line:** this page records descriptions only, and none has been read yet.

## What changed?

7 November 2026: table created, all cells empty.

No changes recorded between these snapshots.

Changes will appear in the (page:data/changelog).

**Bottom line:** this is the first snapshot of the tools.
