We offer to our customers a number of self-protection options who are meant to help them to control the amount of time and money they spend gambling. These include but are not limited to Deposit Limits, Bets Limits, Loss Limits.
Deposit limits, bets limits and loss limits can be decreased at any time. The new limits will be applied immediately on the account. However, any increase of these limits will not be implemented immediately. Instead, there will be a cool off period of 24 hours before the change can take place to give to the customer a chance to reconsider their decision. We recommend to our customers before increasing any limits to carefully consider if they can afford to do so.
Our customers can also take a break from gambling by activating the "Take a break" option. With this option, customers can temporarily keep a distance from the games for 24 hours, 7 days, 4 weeks or 6 weeks. During a break, customers will be able to log in to the account and maintain the existing games, but will not be allowed to deposit or play any new games.
Customers can contact our customer services team via live chat and email to discuss the available options and to complete the process. Alternatively, you can use the options within your online account "Account Limits".
FanTeam takes its responsibility for protecting minors very seriously and carries out age verification checks on all customers to prevent underage gambling.
It is against the law for those under the age of 18 (or the legal age to gamble in your state/country, as appropriate) to gamble.
Any accounts belonging to a person under the legal age found to be gambling on our site will be closed and any winnings will be forfeited.

Underage gambling is a serious offence and we strongly advise you:
Do not divulge your log-in details to anyone.
