Responsible Gambling

Set limits before you start

A calculator can show a number; it cannot decide whether that amount is comfortable or safe for you. KES examples are not suggested stakes.

• Only use money you can afford to lose after essentials and savings are covered.
• Set a time and spending limit before opening a betting account.
• Do not borrow, chase losses, or raise a limit after losing.
• Take breaks and turn off promotional notifications if they make it harder to stop.
• Do not bet when distressed, intoxicated or under pressure.

Recognize when betting may be causing harm

Warning signs can include hiding activity, spending more time or money than planned, borrowing to continue, neglecting work or family, or feeling unable to stop. One sign is enough reason to pause and seek support; you do not need to wait for a crisis.

If an operator offers deposit limits, time-outs, self-exclusion or marketing controls, review the current rules and use them when helpful. An exclusion request should be made through the current official operator or regulator process.
