Staying in control
No real money changes hands on DonutBeam, but time and in-game money are still real things to lose. These switches are here whenever you want them.
Three things worth knowing
- Over enough rounds the house wins. That is what the edge is.
- Chasing a loss is how a small one becomes a large one.
- Pick your limit before you start, not halfway through.
These switches arrive soon. Until then, the simplest limit is the one you set yourself: only deposit what you are happy to lose.
Bet limit
Cap what a single round can cost. While it is on, nothing can go above it.
Loss limit
Past your chosen amount over 24 hours, the games lock until tomorrow.
Take a break
Close the games for 24 hours, 7 days or 30 days.
Self-exclude
Shut the account for good. Whatever is left is paid back in game.
If gambling is causing problems in your life outside the game, talk to someone. In the UK, GamCare runs a free 24-hour helpline on 0808 8020 133. In the US, the National Problem Gambling Helpline is 1-800-522-4700. Both are confidential.
