bet365 does not offer the option to permanently delete your account, but you can close it for a set period or indefinitely. Choosing “Indefinitely” is the closest option if you want to leave bet365 long term, although the account can still be reopened later. The closure process only takes a few minutes and can be completed through your account settings. Below, we'll walk you through each step and explain your options if you want a temporary break or an extended absence.

Before You Close Your bet365 Account

Before closing your bet365 account, check any active bets. Log in, select “My Bets”, then choose “Open” to review them. If Cash Out is available, you can use it to settle an eligible bet early. Otherwise, you can wait for the wager to settle normally before submitting your closure request. Any remaining balance will still be available after an online account closure, as bet365 allows you to log in and withdraw funds from a closed account.

How to Close Your bet365 Account

Step 1: Log in

Start by logging in to your bet365 account. You can use bet365 on desktop or open the mobile app and enter your usual login details. bet365 uses province-specific Canadian sites, so make sure you are using the version registered to your account.

Log in to bet365

Step 2: Open the Account menu

Once you are logged in, select the “Account Menu” icon in the top-right corner of the screen. This is in the same spot, whether you’re on desktop or mobile, so it’s easily accessible.

Step 3: Navigate to Gaming Controls

From the Account Menu, select “Gaming Controls.”

Step 4: Select Account Closure

Choose “Account Closure.” bet365 will ask you to select your closure period and the main reason you are closing the account before moving forward.

Step 5: Choose your closure period

bet365 currently offers “One Week,” “One Month,” “3 Months,” “6 Months,” “12 Months,” and “Indefinitely.” You can also enter a specific date if the listed periods do not work for you. Accounts closed for a fixed period automatically reopen once that period ends.

Choosing “Indefinitely” does not permanently close the account. bet365 currently allows it to be reopened online through “Reopen Account” or “My Account > Account Reopening.” This is different from self-exclusion, which cannot be reversed during the chosen exclusion period. See the Responsible Gambling section below if you need a harder-to-reverse option.

Step 6: Confirm

After choosing your closure period and reason, select “Continue” to finalize the online account closure. You will then receive a confirmation email from bet365. Check your spam folder if you don’t see it in your regular inbox.

bet365 Account Closure Options: What’s the Difference?

bet365 gives you several account closure periods, depending on how long you want to step away. Fixed-term closures end automatically when the selected period expires. You can also choose a specific reopening date. “Indefinitely“ works differently because the account does not automatically reopen, but you can still request to reopen it later.

Indefinitely

No. You must manually re-open the account

bet365 also lets you enter a specific reopening date if none of the standard closure periods suit your needs. An account closed “Indefinitely” is not permanently closed. You can reopen it online, including through “My Account > Account Reopening,” or contact bet365 for help.

If you want an option that cannot be reversed during the selected period, self-exclusion is different from a standard account closure. An account cannot be reopened for any reason while a self-exclusion is active.

Alternatives to Closing Your Account

bet365 provides other ways to close your account, outlined below.

Deposit Limits

Go to Account Menu › Gaming Controls › Deposit Limits › Change to set limits for 24-hour, seven-day, or 30-day periods. Lower limits take effect immediately, while increases require a 24-hour cooling-off period and confirmation.

bt-10-time-out-black-80x80

Time-Out

For a shorter break, bet365 offers Time-Out periods of 24 hours, 48 hours, seven days, 30 days, or a custom period. You cannot gamble or reactivate the account until the Time-Out ends, although you can still log in to withdraw funds.

bt-10-self-exclusion-black-80x80

Self-Exclusion

If you feel your betting has become a problem or if you just want to take a long-term break, bet365 has a self-exclusion program that prevents you gambling with bet365 for a specified period of 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, 5 years, or permanently. During self exclusion, all unsettled bets will be cancelled, and you will not be able to login or use your bet365 account.

The provinces also offer self exclusion for all legal sportsbooks. In Ontario, “BetGuard” lets you opt out of all regulated online gambling sites at once for six months, one year, five years, or a custom term. ConnexOntario provides free 24/7 gambling support and treatment referrals but does not administer self-exclusion. Other provinces have their own programs.

Responsible Gambling at bet365

bet365 offers several tools to help you manage your gambling, including “My Activity,” “Deposit Limits,” “Reality Checks,” “Time-Out,” and “Self-Exclusion.” Account closure is separate from self-exclusion. Even an account closed “Indefinitely” can be reopened later, while an active self-exclusion cannot be reversed before the selected period ends. If gambling becomes difficult to control, provincial support services can also provide confidential help and connect you with treatment resources.

FAQ: bet365 Account Closure

  • Do I need to withdraw my money before closing my bet365 account?

    No, you do not need to withdraw your balance before closing your bet365 account. You can still log in and withdraw any remaining funds after completing an online account closure. Your money remains accessible, even though you can no longer use the account to place bets during the closure period.

  • Can I close my bet365 account from the mobile app?

    You can access bet365's account-management settings on your mobile device. Log in and open the Account Menu, then look for Gaming Controls and Account Closure. Select your preferred closure period and follow the instructions. If the option is unavailable in your app, use the bet365 website or contact customer support.

  • Is closing a bet365 account permanent?

    No. Fixed-term closures automatically end once the selected period expires. Choosing Indefinitely keeps your account closed until you request reopening, which can be done online or through bet365 Support. If you need a harder-to-reverse option, consider self-exclusion through your provincial gambling authority, which cannot be reversed during the selected exclusion period.

  • What happens to my open bets if I close my account?

    Any open bets will remain active after you close your bet365 account and will be settled according to the sportsbook's rules. If your bets win, the winnings will be credited to your account balance. You can still log in to withdraw any remaining funds after submitting your account closure request.

  • Can I create a new bet365 account after closing mine?

    As with other sportsbooks, bet365 operates a one-account-per-user policy, so opening another account after closing your existing one could trigger verification checks or restrictions. If you want to return, use the account reopening process or contact Support. You cannot open another account to get around an active self-exclusion.

  • I want to stop gambling, not just close my account. What should I do?

    Consider self-exclusion rather than standard account closure. In Ontario, BetGuard  blocks access to all provincially regulated online gambling sites for your selected exclusion period. Other provinces offer their own programs, including British Columbia's voluntary self-exclusion program.  Read our Responsible Gambling section above for full detail.

  • How do I contact bet365 if I have trouble closing my account?

    You can contact bet365 through Live Chat, which is available 24/7. The help centre also offers an online contact form for sending messages to customer support.
