The main reasons that generate limitations in a betting house are:

  • Bettors with very high profits continuously
  • Anyone who has or tries to have more than one account on the same site
  • Who deposits high amounts
  • Bettors who only make sure bets
  • Those who make withdrawals very frequently

Limitation can occur in several ways: restrictions on specific markets, reduction of the maximum amount that can be bet or even blocking and deleting the account.

Bookmakers do this to limit players who violate the terms of use or use very profitable strategies frequently. Recreational bettors should not have this problem .

Does this mean you can’t win with sports betting? No!

The challenge is to balance profitability with compliance with terms and conditions, which often hide important information.

Here are the top tips to avoid being limited by a bookmaker.

1. Do not create multiple accounts on the same website

Creating more than one account on the same website is more common than you might think.

Betting influencers may point to the action as a way to “cheat the system” to take advantage of more registration bonuses, for example, or obtain other exclusive benefits for an account.

Because it is such a common action — and completely prohibited under the terms and conditions — the houses are prepared to identify inconsistencies in the account and delete those that belong to the same player.

Of the 80 brands evaluated by our experts, all prohibit the creation of two accounts using the same CPF.

Additionally, identity verification technologies are becoming increasingly robust and efficient.

After registering, you will be required to submit proof of identity and even address in some cases. These are ways to avoid these problems!

There is definitely no point in trying to cheat the system. Create an account and focus on making good bets with that account only .

2. Do not create an account in someone else’s name to bet

The same logic that we pointed out above applies: it may be tempting to create an account in the name of that friend or family member who may have allowed the action, but will not place bets at the house. This is fraud!

In this case, you would take advantage of the bonuses and you could even stop playing in the future, but you would earn a little “extra money” at first, right? No!

Creating an account on behalf of a third party is prohibited as it violates the terms of use , even if that person has authorized you. If they have not, it is even worse, because the action may be considered a crime.

“ Just use your account and invest the time you would spend circumventing the rules in learning more about the world of sports betting! ”

Here, there is also another impediment: bookmakers that are more rigorous in verifying identity allow withdrawals to be requested only to the bank account linked to the CPF registered on the website .

It is an increasingly common practice in the market:

Betano’s security measure is increasingly common among bookmakers

Above, we illustrated the situation with the example of Betano: if I tried to request a withdrawal to someone else’s PIX, the funds would not be processed.

3. Deposit smaller amounts if you have a larger bankroll

If you are already used to betting — or want to start with a larger bankroll — we recommend that you make smaller deposits, over a longer period of time.

It is common for bookmakers to “mark” new bettors (or even old ones) who, from one day to the next, deposited large amounts of money.

Is there an average to base it on? No! The house just needs to identify the behavior as strange .

No house will limit you on the first large deposit you make, the important thing is to maintain a routine that makes sense with your financial life and budget.

If you usually play with higher amounts, separate them into several deposits, it can be a way of not attracting unnecessary attention.

4. Don’t just make safe bets

A safe bet means betting on two outcomes of the same match if the difference between the odds is low.

Example of safe bets on Bet365

In the example above, the odds for Spain to win are slightly lower than those for the Netherlands. A safe bet would be to bet on Spain and the Netherlands !

Let’s say you put R$15 in Spain and another R$10 in the Netherlands. You would invest R$25 in total, but look:

  • Netherlands: R$10 x 3.00 = R$30
  • Spain: R$ 15 x 2.30 = R$ 34.50

You would make a profit with either outcome. And this is something that bookmakers tend to avoid, especially if it is a frequent behavior.

It’s a smart tactic to ensure security and gains, but in the medium term, it can lead to limitations!

5. Make sporadic and low-value withdrawals

Bookmakers are suspicious of people who withdraw money all the time. If the withdrawals are of high value, it is even worse.

So the tip is simple: be patient and withdraw from time to time. When you do, do so with low amounts, perhaps just above the minimum.

Take the opportunity to find out about  withdrawals and deposits at bookmakers and understand how they work.

6. Have an account in more than one house

Using multiple accounts can help spread your bets, reducing the risk of being identified as a highly profitable and limited player.

Furthermore, it can be the ideal strategy to take advantage of several welcome bonuses, if you have the bankroll for it and are able to meet the rollover. You don’t need to create several accounts at the same casino!

Finally, different brands offer different markets or odds for the same event. Having more than one account allows you to choose the best odds available.

Remember to choose reliable bookmakers that offer fair conditions for bettors.
