1. Parimatch Ireland’s Vision for Safer Gaming
Parimatch Ireland is committed to ensuring that every user on the platform enjoys a safe, fair, and balanced gambling environment. We believe betting and casino gaming should be a form of entertainment — not a source of stress or financial harm. Our responsible gambling framework is designed to help players stay in control, avoid risky behavior, and seek help whenever needed. This includes proactive support systems, limit-setting tools, behavioral tracking, and transparent policies for self-exclusion.
2. Keeping Minors Off the Platform at Parimatch Ireland
We strictly prohibit access to any of our services by individuals under the age of 18. Parimatch Ireland uses an enforced age verification process that may include personal identification requests and account suspension until proper documents are submitted. Accounts flagged for underage usage are blocked immediately. No exceptions.
We also encourage parents and guardians to install parental control software on shared devices. Recommended tools include:
These solutions can help limit exposure and prevent underage engagement in gambling, particularly on shared household devices or mobile phones.
3. How Parimatch Ireland Monitors Problem Gambling
Though gambling is widely seen as a recreational activity, we are aware of the emotional, financial, and social harm it may cause to individuals with addictive tendencies. Parimatch Ireland does not tolerate compulsive gambling and actively monitors for warning signs. This includes players who repeatedly lose large sums, display aggression in communication with staff, or show unusual behavioral patterns while using the platform.
Our internal system flags potentially vulnerable accounts based on frequency of betting, amount of losses, duration of play, and chat history. Once such an account is identified, our Responsible Gambling Team contacts the user discreetly to assess the situation. Recommendations may include self-exclusion, time-outs, limit adjustments, or connecting the user with professional help services.
4. Promoting Self-Awareness and Player Limits on Parimatch Ireland
We understand that self-awareness is the first step toward responsible gaming. Parimatch Ireland offers a variety of tools to help users recognize when their play is going too far. These include optional reality checks, spending limits, and session timers.
Players can also take a self-assessment test such as the Gamblers Anonymous 20 Questions test, which is freely accessible online. This tool helps individuals identify whether gambling has become a compulsive habit.
Here are several practical tips to reduce risk and maintain healthy gambling habits:
- Set a fixed budget before playing and never exceed it.
- Avoid gambling with borrowed money or essential living funds.
- Use our built-in limit tools — they're there to help you, not to limit fun.
- Always remember that gambling is a game, not a way to make money.
- Don't play when angry, upset, or emotionally unstable.
- Take breaks and spend time on other hobbies.
All players are encouraged to set loss and deposit limits upon registration — or at any point through their account settings. These tools can be modified anytime, though increases require a waiting period for added protection.
5. Self-Exclusion Options at Parimatch Ireland
When gambling begins to interfere with everyday life or emotional well-being, Parimatch Ireland provides the option of voluntary self-exclusion. This feature allows players to temporarily or permanently suspend their accounts. During this time, users cannot log in, place bets, or receive promotional materials.
To initiate self-exclusion, customers may contact our Support Team via email or live chat. Once the request is verified, the account will be locked for the chosen duration. Parimatch Ireland will also prevent the creation of new accounts using the same personal data during the exclusion period.
Self-exclusion is not just a technical barrier — it's a psychological reset. It offers players the opportunity to reassess their behavior and regain balance in their relationship with gambling. In some cases, individuals also choose to seek help from external specialists, which we highly encourage.
6. How Parimatch Ireland Intervenes to Protect Players
In certain cases, Parimatch Ireland may take independent action to protect a player. If a user demonstrates signs of compulsive gambling, emotional distress, or communicates in an erratic or aggressive manner, our internal team has the right to intervene. This may include temporary account holds, direct outreach, or full exclusion from the platform.
Decisions of this nature are based on cumulative behavior and internal reporting systems. If a player is deemed at high risk, we may decline account reactivation even after a cooling-off period. These decisions are never taken lightly — they reflect our commitment to long-term customer safety and well-being.
7. Responsible Gambling Tools Available at Parimatch Ireland
Parimatch Ireland offers several digital tools that players can activate at any time to manage their gambling activity. These features are designed to be user-friendly and can be found in the “My Account” section:
- Deposit Limits – Set a maximum amount you can deposit over a day, week, or month.
- Loss Limits – Define how much you’re willing to lose within a specific timeframe.
- Wagering Limits – Cap the total value of bets placed.
- Session Limits – Automatically log out after a set number of minutes or hours.
- Reality Checks – On-screen popups reminding you how long you’ve been playing and how much you’ve spent.
- Time-Outs – Short-term breaks ranging from 24 hours to 6 weeks.
All tools are configurable and reversible. However, increases in limits are subject to a 24-hour cooling-off period. Decreases apply immediately to offer maximum protection.
8. Partnering with External Support Organisations
We know that internal tools are only part of the solution. Parimatch Ireland promotes the involvement of independent support organisations to provide emotional, psychological, and practical guidance for those affected by gambling problems — whether it’s the players themselves or their loved ones.
We recommend the following internationally trusted services:
We encourage players to contact these services whenever gambling begins to feel harmful or when they notice changes in mood, behavior, or finances connected to betting.
