Responsible Gaming

Gambling always carries a risk of financial loss. You should only play using money you can afford to lose, and never use funds meant for rent, food, school fees, or other essentials.

Responsible betting on DBBet helps you protect both your money and your emotional health. You stay safe when you:

• Set clear limits for how much you deposit, bet, and lose in a day, week, or month.
• Decide your budget before you start playing and stick to it firmly.
• Treat betting as a form of entertainment, not as a way to earn income or repay debts.
• Take regular breaks to avoid long sessions and tired decisions.
• Keep track of your results so you understand your real costs over time.

You can use the tools on our platform to control your play. These include deposit limits, betting limits, cooling-off periods, and account closure on request. Using these tools early can reduce the risk of gambling addiction and help you enjoy betting responsibly.

Gambling addiction can develop slowly and may be hard to notice at first. Paying attention to warning signs helps you act early and protect yourself from serious harm.

Key indicators that you or someone close to you may have a betting problem include:

• Spending more money or time on gambling than planned, and finding it hard to stop.
• Chasing losses by increasing stake sizes, hoping to recover lost money.
• Borrowing money, selling belongings, or using loans and credit to fund betting.
• Hiding or lying about gambling activity, bank statements, or mobile money transactions.
• Feeling restless, angry, or anxious when trying to reduce or stop playing.
• Ignoring family, work, school, or social duties because of betting.
• Using gambling as an escape from stress, loneliness, conflict, or depression.
• Repeatedly spending money meant for bills, food, or other basic needs on betting.
• Needing higher stakes to feel the same excitement from gambling as before.
• Continuing to gamble despite serious problems in relationships, work, or health.

Gambling addiction is a serious condition that needs attention and support. Early recognition and honest reflection can help you regain control and avoid deeper financial and emotional harm.

Dealing with a betting problem starts by admitting that gambling is causing harm in your life. You are not alone, and practical steps can help you reduce risk and regain control.

Useful tips to manage or prevent gambling addiction include:

• Set strict spending limits on your account and do not raise them when you feel pressure.
• Set time limits for gambling sessions and use alarms to remind you to stop.
• Take regular cooling-off breaks from your account when you feel strong urges to play.
• Avoid gambling when you feel stressed, angry, lonely, or under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
• Keep separate budgets for daily living costs, savings, and entertainment, and never mix them.
• Turn off gambling notifications and unfollow betting pages if they trigger you to play.
• Talk openly to a trusted friend, family member, or counselor about your struggles.
• Use self-exclusion features if you feel unable to stop gambling on your own.
• Find other safe activities for free time, such as sports, hobbies, or community groups.
• Seek professional help from addiction support services in Tanzania if gambling is affecting your mental health, relationships, or finances.
