Support Organisations

If you or someone you know is experiencing difficulties related to gambling, the following organisations provide free and confidential support in the United Kingdom:

Anti-Money Laundering

Bet4Star is legally obligated to comply with the Money Laundering, Terrorist Financing and Transfer of Funds (Information on the Payer) Regulations 2017, as well as the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002. These obligations are taken seriously, and all users are subject to the procedures outlined below.

If you fail to cooperate with verification requests or if your account is found to be involved in prohibited activity, the following actions may be taken:

  • Temporary or permanent restriction of account access
  • Freezing of funds pending investigation
  • Account closure and reporting to law enforcement authorities
  • Forfeiture of funds where required under applicable legislation
