Game session timers


What are Game Session Timers?

Betfair allows you to limit your session times for games or events that have no natural end. This gives you greater control over your gambling. On Betfair’s games products, session timer technology gives you a gentle reminder about how long you have been playing. The reminder will appear on screen 60 minutes after you have placed your first bet (or after a shorter period if selected), and will give the option to continue playing or to exit the gaming application.

How do I set Game Session Timers?

Exchange Games

When you begin playing Exchange Games the session timer is set to default on for 60minutes. If you would like to change this you need to click on ‘Settings’ whilst playing any of the Exchange Games. You can manually adjust the length of time you would like.

Casino
