Responsible Gaming at Wakabet Kenya

Gambling should remain entertainment, not a financial solution. Wakabet provides tools and resources to help you maintain control over your betting activities. If gambling stops being fun or causes problems in your life, these safeguards assist in managing your play responsibly.

Responsible Gaming Tools

Deposit Limits
Set daily, weekly, or monthly caps on how much you can deposit into your Wakabet account. Limits activate immediately when lowered. Increases require a 24-hour cooling-off period before taking effect. Access this feature under Account Settings → Responsible Gaming → Deposit Limits.

Loss Limits
Restrict the maximum amount you can lose within a specified timeframe. Once reached, betting is suspended until the period resets. This prevents chasing losses during emotional decision-making moments.

Session Time Limits
Configure alerts or automatic logouts after playing for a set duration (e.g., 1 hour, 2 hours). Extended sessions increase fatigue and impair judgment. Time limits help maintain awareness of how long you've been gambling.

Self-Exclusion
Voluntarily block yourself from accessing your Wakabet account for 6 months, 1 year, or permanently. During exclusion, you cannot log in, deposit, or bet. This tool suits individuals recognizing they need a complete break from gambling. Contact support@wakabetkenya.com or call +254700492816 to activate self-exclusion.

Recognizing Problem Gambling

Watch for these warning signs indicating gambling may have become problematic:

Spending more money or time gambling than intended
Borrowing money or selling possessions to fund gambling
Lying to family or friends about gambling activities
Neglecting work, school, or personal responsibilities due to gambling
Chasing losses by betting larger amounts to recover previous losses
Feeling restless, irritable, or anxious when not gambling
Using gambling as an escape from stress, depression, or other problems

If multiple signs apply to you, consider seeking professional help. Early intervention prevents gambling problems from escalating into severe financial or personal crises.

Self-Help Strategies

Avoid alcohol or substances that impair decision-making while betting. Keep track of time and money spent gambling to maintain awareness.
