Gambling can be addictive and may result in difficulties to stop even when you know it is causing
issues. Gambling is
not a solution for financial problems – only play for what you can afford to lose! Keep track of how
much time and money
you are spending online and take action if needed. Play responsibly and get in touch with us or use the
online tools
here should you have any concerns.
We want our players to have fun while gaming at Betsafe, so we encourage you to gamble responsibly at
all times.
Gambling should be fun. Borrowing money to play, spending more than you can afford or using money set
aside for other
purposes is unwise and can lead to significant problems for yourself and others around you. The Betsafe
team wants
players to be safe with their gaming and wise with the way they play.
That's why we work with Gamhelp Kenya, an independent center for Responsible Gambling oversight,
education and research.
They are a tech-driven call center equipped with e-therapy web-based and mobile platforms for digital
gambling diagnosis
and treatment.
GamHelp Kenya offers free 24/7 telephone and online counselling to people with gambling addiction. You
can also contact
them for help if you have a loved one who cannot control their gambling behaviour but are still in
denial.
Call them toll-free 24/7 at 0800 000 023 for free gambling addiction treatment. You can also take their
Gambling Addiction Test to determine if you are a problem gambler? (*All calls & messages are free and
totally confidential).
At GamHelp Kenya they also work with operators towards ensuring that their marketing campaigns do not
appeal to those who are vulnerable to problem gambling.
At Betsafe we also work with the Global Gambling Guidance G4 which certifies Internet gaming sites for
this purpose. Together we provide you with tools to prevent unhealthy gaming behaviour and enable you to
play responsibly.
Young people under 18 are especially vulnerable for gambling. And for good reasons it is illegal for
anyone under the age of 18 to open an account and/or to gamble. Betsafe reserves the right to request
proof of age from
any customer and may suspend an account until adequate verification is received. Equally it is highly
irresponsible and
illegal to act as a envoy or agent for a person under 18 years.
Time-Outs allow you to take a short break from gaming at Betsafe. When you activate a Time-Out on your
account, you will
not be able to place any bets or transfer any money to your Betsafe account during the time-out period.
You may activate
a Time-Out by contacting Customer Care or online by following these steps:
- Simply log in to your account and navigate to the logged-in right-hand 'Account Menu'.
- Click on 'Responsible Gaming', dropdown 'Time-Out' label.
- Here, simply select a time period for the Time-Out. You have the following options: 24 hours, 48
hours, 1 week.
- Once you have selected the time period, click 'Set' to complete the process.
Self-Exclusion allows you to stop yourself from gaming at Betsafe for a longer period of time. If you
feel that you need
a longer period or a permanent exclusion, please contact our Customer Care.
Please note that once your account has been self-excluded, it cannot be re-opened before the
self-exclusion period is
over. If you feel you have made an error, please contact our Customer Care department.
Giving you the ability to control how much you are wanting to spend is
highly important, which is why we offer a 'Budget Limit' tool.
The Budget Limit is purely based on how much of your own money you can deposit onto your Betsafe account
in a single
day. For example, if you were to set a Budget Limit of KSH 500, you won't be able to deposit more once
this has been
reached until the next day. Please note that the budget limit takes withdrawals into consideration, so
if you were to
deposit KSH 500 in the first part of the day and withdraw KSH 400 later on you may deposit another KSH
400 within the same day.
Setting your Budget Limit:
You can set a budget limit by logging in to your account and navigating to the logged-in right-hand
'user menu'. Click on 'Responsible Gaming', then select the 'Budget Limits' tab where you can enter the
amount.
Changing your Budget Limit:
Budget limits can be changed at any time. When increasing the amount or removing the limit completely, a
waiting period of 24 hours will apply. Making any decreases will take effect immediately.
