Zverev Tennis News is an information site about Alexander Zverev and professional tennis. On some pages we refer to tennis odds and betting offers. That is why responsible gambling matters to us, and why we want to say it clearly: sports betting is gambling. It can be fun, but it carries the risk of losing money – and it can become addictive.
Ground rules for responsible gambling
- Adults only. Gambling is prohibited by law for minors – the minimum age is 18, and higher in some jurisdictions. Only bet where betting is legal for you.
- Betting is not income. Only stake money you can afford to lose, and treat stakes as spending on entertainment.
- Set limits in advance. Decide on a budget and a time limit before you play – and stick to them, even after losses.
- Don't chase losses. Trying to win back losses with bigger stakes often leads to losing even more.
- Don't bet under pressure. Don't bet under the influence of alcohol, when stressed or in difficult life situations.
- No guaranteed wins. Even well-founded predictions and good knowledge of a player like Alexander Zverev do not guarantee a result. Tennis remains unpredictable.
Recognizing the warning signs
It makes sense to seek help if you spend more time or money on betting than planned, hide losses, borrow money to gamble, become irritable when you can't bet, or if your family, work or sleep suffer because of gambling.
Protection through regulation and self-exclusion
Rules for online sports betting differ from country to country, and in some countries from state to state. Licensed operators generally have to offer protection tools such as deposit limits, time-outs and self-exclusion. Before you register anywhere, check that the operator is licensed for where you live – in Great Britain, for example, through the public register of the Gambling Commission.
Some countries also run central self-exclusion schemes that cover many operators at once. In Great Britain, the free GAMSTOP service blocks access to accounts on participating gambling websites and apps. Whether individual operators and products are available also depends on where you are.
