Responsible Gaming Policy For Nigerian Users
We acknowledge our duty to prevent gambling-related problems. Here, we outline the measures and resources designed to help players enjoy a safe and controlled betting experience, ensuring entertainment remains fun and within their budget while minimizing the risk of gambling issues.
Stay Fully in Control
Sports betting should remain a form of entertainment, not a source of income. Some individuals may treat it as a way to make money, which can cause emotional stress and financial problems. We want you to enjoy betting responsibly, so we recommend following these guidelines. If you feel that sports betting is negatively affecting your life, consider reflecting on the following questions and try this quick self-assessment https://gamblersanonymous.org/20-questions/:
- Have you ever thought about reducing your sports betting?
- Have others criticized your betting habits, making you feel annoyed?
- Have you ever felt guilty about your betting behavior?
- Have you experienced regret after placing bets?
- Have you ever needed a “morning fix” to calm your nerves or recover from betting losses?
Understanding your results:
- 0 Yes Answers: Low risk of sports betting problems.
- 1 Yes Answer: Moderate risk; additional assessment might be necessary.
- 2 or More Yes Answers: High risk; professional evaluation and support are strongly advised.
Voluntary Account Lock
We provide a self-exclusion feature for players who want to pause sports betting for a set period. By choosing self-exclusion, you voluntarily block your account and prevent access to any betting activities.
Available durations for self-exclusion include:
- 1 year
- 3 years
- 5 years
- 10 years
- Lifetime (permanent exclusion)
Enabling Self-Exclusion
To enable self-exclusion for sports betting, go to the responsible gaming section in your account settings or contact: [email protected]. Once self-exclusion is activated, your account will be locked, and you will not be able to access it for the selected period. During this time, you will not receive any promotional emails or notifications.
To reactivate your account, you must submit a written request. We will remind you of the responsible gaming tools available and recommend completing a self-assessment questionnaire before proceeding with reactivation.
Self-exclusion cannot be canceled before the end of the chosen period. A lifetime self-exclusion is permanent and cannot be reversed.
This tool is designed to help sports betting players regain control over their betting habits and prevent further harm. By opting for temporary or permanent self-exclusion, you take an important step toward safeguarding your well-being and ensuring that sports betting remains a safe and enjoyable form of entertainment.
Temporary Break
A cooling-off period allows sports betting players to take a temporary break to regain control over their betting habits. During this time, you will not be able to place any bets or make deposits into your account.
Duration of cooling-off period:
- 24 hours
- 7 days
- 1 month
- 3 months
You can start a cooling-off period directly from the Responsible Gaming section in your account settings. Once activated, your account will be temporarily restricted, blocking all sports betting activity, including deposits and wagers. This process is fully automated and takes effect immediately. Early termination of the cooling-off period is not allowed—you must wait until the selected period ends.
The cooling-off period is intended to give players time to reflect on their betting habits and make more informed decisions before resuming sports betting. After the period ends, you can continue using your account without any additional steps.

Responsible Gambling Tips for Players in Nigeria
We suggest considering the following tips before engaging in sports betting to ensure it remains an enjoyable activity without negative consequences:
- Set a deposit limit: Decide in advance how much money you can afford to wager based on your financial situation. Only bet amounts meant for fun and entertainment.
- Avoid chasing losses: Don’t take excessive risks to recover previous losses. Bet for enjoyment, not as a source of income.
- Set a time limit: Decide how long you will spend betting and stick to it. Keep sports betting balanced with other hobbies and activities.
- Play responsibly: Avoid betting when you are stressed, depressed, or under pressure. Do not bet while influenced by alcohol, drugs, or certain medications.
- Take breaks: Pause if you feel tired, distracted, or unable to focus.
- One Account per person: To maintain control over your betting habits and spending, it is strongly advised to use only one account per individual.
Please note that anyone not meeting the age requirements will have winnings forfeited. Any deposited funds from underage users will be returned, accounts may be frozen, and relevant authorities may be notified.
