How To Delete Betting Accounts

If you want to delete one or more of your betting accounts, you’ll find it’s quite easy to do and we’ll talk you through the process. But if deleting your betting accounts is just an idea you’re toying with, there are a couple of less dramatic steps you may wish to consider first.

Deleting Your Betting Accounts

Betting sites may once have made it difficult for you to delete your betting accounts, but responsible gaming laws mean they now make it easy.

Most online bookmakers now allow you to close your account yourself. With most bookmakers, closing your betting account is as easy as clicking on ‘My Account’ and scrolling through the options until you find the ‘close your account’ tab.

Alternatively, you can get in touch with the support team of your bookmaker by live chat, email, or phone and ask them to close your account for you. It really is that simple.

Can I Reactivate Deleted Betting Accounts?

If you’re thinking of deleting a betting account that you might want to reactive later, you may be able to do this. Some bookmakers will reactivate closed accounts, while others will let you open a new account. To reactive a betting account that you’ve deleted or open a new one, you will have to get in touch with the customer support team. You will probably also have to go through their KYC verification checks again.

If you’re planning to delete a betting account and open another account with the same betting site to take advantage of welcome offers, this is not normally advisable. Most betting sites will recognise you either from your address, date of birth, or IP address and won’t allow you to open another account. Even if you manage to open a new account and claim a welcome offer, the bookmaker will be within their rights not to pay you out any winnings from that offer under its terms and conditions.

Use Responsible Gambling Tools

While betting sites don’t really want you to close your betting account if you’re losing, they are obliged to offer you a variety of responsible gambling tools that you can use to stop betting while you consider your future as a gambler.

If you’re thinking of closing your betting accounts, you may wish to consider taking a break from gambling first. You can take a responsible gambling break of up to 30 days with most bookmakers, or you can set lesser time periods such as a week or two weeks. Taking a break like this gives you a chance to take a breather and consider why you want to take a break from gambling.

If you know that you’re a terrible gambler, one that acts impulsively and continues to lose money that you can’t afford to – you should definitely take a break. If you’re still the same gambler after your break comes to an end, closing your betting accounts may then be your best option if gambling is adversely affecting your life.

But if you’re not an impulsive gambler and you simply enjoy having a regular bet but aren’t very good at picking winners, you may wish to consider another option before you close your betting accounts. This option is to follow the advice of professional betting tipsters that have proven they have the skills to make long-term profits from gambling.

How to close all gambling accounts

To close all your gambling accounts, you can follow these general steps:

1. Make a list of all the gambling accounts you have, including online betting sites, casinos, and bookmakers.

2. Log in to each account and withdraw any remaining funds.

3. Look for the account closure or self-exclusion option on each website or app. This option is usually found in the account settings or responsible gambling section.

4. Follow the instructions to close your account or self-exclude. Some websites may require you to contact customer support to close your account.

5. Consider using a self-exclusion service such as GamStop or Gamban, which allows you to exclude yourself from multiple gambling websites at once.

6. If you have any concerns about your gambling behaviour, consider seeking help from a professional organisation such as GamCare or BeGambleAware.

It’s important to note that closing your gambling accounts may not necessarily solve any underlying issues with problem gambling. If you are struggling with gambling addiction, it’s important to seek help and support from a professional organisation or a healthcare provider.

How to delete online casino account

Much the same as other gambling accounts, to delete an online casino account, you can follow these general steps:

1. Log in to your online casino account.

2. Look for the account closure or self-exclusion option on the website or app. This option is usually found in the account settings or responsible gambling section.

3. Follow the instructions to close your account or self-exclude. Some websites may require you to contact customer support to close your account.

4. Withdraw any remaining funds from your account.

5. If you have any concerns about your gambling behaviour, consider seeking help from a professional organisation such as GamCare or BeGambleAware.

It’s important to note that closing your online casino account may not necessarily solve any underlying issues with problem gambling. If you are struggling with gambling addiction, it’s important to seek help and support from a professional organisation or a healthcare provider.

What happens when you close a betting account?

When you close a betting account, the specific details of what happens can vary depending on the betting site or bookmaker. However, in general, the following things can happen:

1. Your account will be closed: Closing your betting account means that you will no longer be able to access the account or place any bets through that particular bookmaker.

2. Your remaining balance will be returned: If you have any remaining funds in your account, they will be returned to you. This process can take a few days, depending on the payment method you used to deposit funds.

3. Your personal information will be deleted: The bookmaker will delete your personal information from their database, although they may retain some information for regulatory or legal purposes.

4. You may be excluded from promotions: If you have closed your account voluntarily, you may be excluded from future promotions or bonuses offered by the bookmaker.

5. You may be able to reactivate your account: Some bookmakers allow you to reactivate a closed account, while others require you to open a new account if you want to start betting again.

It’s important to note that closing a betting account may not necessarily solve any underlying issues with problem gambling. If you are struggling with gambling addiction, it’s important to seek help and support from a professional organisation or a healthcare provider.

  3. I opened a few accounts when i wanted somewhere to play bingo and have a go on the slots to take advantage of sign-up offers etc but now i only want to keep the ones i enjoy.I have only had a few places that have made it easy to close my account in fact I’ve had the chat argue with me and make it hard to close my account.This makes zero sense because why is it not as easy as going into your account and pressing a button if they really are trying to help people with issues? I dont have a gambling problem but they all treat you like you do . They know via your account how much money goes in and out so when you only play with 10.00 a week why are they treating you like an addict and making it hard for you to close your account .

    • You’ll need to contact each account provider and request that they close your account, this is not something that anybody else can do for you.
