Your statutory rights under Tanzanian law are not affected. You are responsible for ensuring that your use of the services complies with all applicable legal rules in your location.
General Betting Rules
1. Eligibility to Place Bets
Only registered customers who have an active account, have confirmed that they are at least 18 years old, and meet all legal criteria may place bets. You may be asked to provide identity documents or proof of residence before stakes are accepted or winnings are paid.
DBBet reserves the right to refuse any bet, limit stake sizes, or exclude you from certain events, markets, or bonuses where there are regulatory, integrity, or responsible gambling concerns.
2. Bet Acceptance and Confirmation
A bet is considered accepted when:
- it appears in your betting history as confirmed, and
- a unique transaction reference has been allocated.
If you are unsure whether a bet has been accepted, you must check the account history section rather than placing the same bet again. DBBet has full discretion to decide whether a wager is valid based on system records.
Bets are only valid if:
- they are placed before the listed start time of the event, unless betting rules specify in-play options
- the odds and event details were correctly displayed at the time of placement, and not affected by obvious errors or technical faults
3. Minimum and Maximum Stakes
For each market or event, DBBet may set limits on:
- minimum stake per bet
- maximum stake per bet
- maximum potential winnings per bet or per event
These limits may vary by sport, market, event type, and customer profile. The system may automatically prevent you from placing bets that exceed maximum allowed stakes or potential returns.
DBBet may adjust limits at any time for reasons including risk management, regulatory obligations, or responsible gambling measures.
4. Odds, Events, and Results
All odds displayed for any event are subject to change until the moment your bet is accepted. Odds may be adjusted in response to betting patterns, information on team or player conditions, or other relevant factors.
If an obvious error occurs in odds, market terms, or event details (for example, where odds are clearly inconsistent with the market or where the wrong team is shown as favourite), DBBet may declare affected bets void or settle them at corrected odds.
Settlement of bets is based on official results as declared by the relevant governing body at the time of settlement. Any later changes to results, such as through protests or disciplinary decisions, will normally not affect settlement unless the betting rules for that market state otherwise.
5. Calculation of Winnings and Losses
Your winnings are calculated by multiplying your accepted stake by the final odds for each bet, taking into account the type of bet and any specific market rules.
For example:
- Single bets: Winnings = stake x odds
- Multiple or accumulator bets: Winnings = stake x combined odds of all selections that win
If one or more selections in a multiple bet are void, the bet may be settled based on the remaining selections at the original stake, as described in the betting rules.
Your account balance is updated after each event is settled. Any amount staked on losing bets is deducted from your balance when the bet is placed or when the market is settled, depending on the bet type.
6. Restrictions on Bets, Markets, and Bonuses
DBBet may impose restrictions on certain bets and markets to comply with Tanzanian law, licensing conditions, or integrity agreements. Examples include:
- prohibition of bets on minors
- blocking of events or competitions restricted by regulators
- limits on the number of bets per event for an individual customer
Bonus use may also be restricted to particular markets, minimum odds, or event types. Terms for each promotion specify how bonuses can be used and how bonus-related winnings are calculated.
DBBet may refuse, limit, or cancel bets if it has reasonable grounds to believe that:
- there is collusion or group betting intended to exploit odds or bonuses
- the integrity of an event is in doubt
- you are breaching responsible gambling, AML, or other compliance policies.
7. Bet Cancellation, Void Bets, and Settlement Disputes
Bets cannot be cancelled or changed by you once they appear as accepted in your account history.
DBBet may declare a bet void or adjust settlement where:
- a market was listed with incorrect odds or material errors in event details
- an event is postponed, abandoned, or cancelled and the betting rules for that market specify voiding
- there is evidence of match fixing, suspicious betting, or breach of integrity rules
If you disagree with a bet settlement, you must contact customer support and provide bet reference numbers and relevant information. The operator will review system records, the betting rules for the event, and official results. If your dispute is not resolved to your satisfaction, you may escalate the matter to the relevant regulator in Tanzania in line with applicable legal procedures.
Payment Rules
1. General Principles for Deposits and Withdrawals
All financial transactions on your betting account are subject to these payment rules, Tanzanian law, and the terms required by payment service providers.
Key principles:
- you may only use payment methods registered in your own name
- deposits and withdrawals must come from and go to accounts that belong to you
- funds in your betting account are held for betting purposes only and are not intended to function as a bank account
DBBet may request proof that you control a particular payment method before processing withdrawals.
2. Deposit Methods, Limits, and Processing
DBBet may provide a range of deposit methods suitable for customers in Tanzania, such as:
- mobile money services
- bank transfers
- approved card payments or other local solutions
For each method, the platform may specify:
- minimum and maximum deposit amounts per transaction
- any applicable fees or charges
- typical processing times until funds appear in your betting account
Deposits are usually credited to your account once they are confirmed by the payment provider. DBBet is not responsible for delays caused by banking systems, mobile operators, or other third parties.
3. Withdrawal Methods, Limits, and Timeframes
Before you can withdraw funds, you may be required to:
- complete identity and age verification
- provide documents that support your source of funds where required by AML rules
Withdrawals are normally processed using the same payment method that you used for deposits, subject to technical and regulatory constraints. Alternative methods may be offered where the original route is not available.
DBBet may set:
- minimum and maximum withdrawal amounts per transaction or per day
- internal review timeframes before authorising withdrawals
Once approved by DBBet, withdrawal timeframes depend on the payment provider and may vary.
4. Transaction Security and Verification (KYC/AML)
DBBet applies know-your-customer and anti-money laundering procedures as required by Tanzanian legislation and regulatory standards. This may include:
- collection of personal identification documents, such as ID cards, passports, or driving licences
- verification of mobile numbers, email addresses, and residential addresses
- checks on payment methods used to deposit and withdraw
DBBet may suspend deposits, bets, or withdrawals until verification is complete. Failure to provide accurate information or requested documents can result in account restrictions or closure.
5. Transaction Restrictions and Suspicious Activity
DBBet may block or restrict deposits or withdrawals where it has reasonable grounds to believe that:
- funds are linked to fraud, money laundering, or terrorist financing
- the account is used by a third party who is not the registered customer
- multiple accounts belong to the same person in breach of these terms
In such cases DBBet may:
- freeze relevant balances while investigations are carried out
- request additional documents or explanations for transactions
- report transactions to competent authorities in line with Tanzanian law.
6. Operation Cancellation and Chargebacks
You are responsible for any deposits made into your betting account. If a chargeback or reversal occurs on a deposit transaction, DBBet may:
- deduct the outstanding amount from your account balance
- cancel pending bets or winnings related to the reversed funds
- suspend or close your account
If a technical error results in incorrect crediting or debiting of funds, DBBet will correct balances to reflect the accurate amount. Any amount paid in error must be returned, and DBBet may recover such sums from future account activity if necessary.
Responsible Gambling
1. Commitment to Safer Betting
DBBet supports responsible gambling and seeks to ensure that betting remains a form of entertainment rather than a financial or personal problem. You are encouraged to use the platform in a way that respects your limits and personal circumstances.
Betting carries a risk of loss. You should never stake money that you cannot afford to lose and you should regularly read your betting history to monitor your activity.
2. Tools to Manage Your Behaviour
To support responsible use of betting services, DBBet may offer control tools such as:
- deposit limits: setting daily, weekly, or monthly caps on how much you can add to your account
- loss limits: restricting how much you can lose over a defined period
- session reminders: notifications to inform you how long you have been active on the site or application
- time-out options: temporary suspension of access to your account for a selected period
Where such tools exist, you can usually adjust them in your account settings, subject to system processing rules. Increases to limits may take effect after a waiting period, while reductions may apply immediately.
3. Self-Exclusion and Account Closure
If you feel that you are losing control of your betting behaviour, you should consider self-exclusion or permanent account closure.
DBBet may provide self-exclusion options that:
- prevent you from logging in or placing bets for a selected minimum period
- stop marketing messages and promotional communications during the exclusion
During self-exclusion, you must not attempt to open new accounts or use other people’s accounts. DBBet will take reasonable steps to enforce exclusions but cannot be held liable if you manage to bypass these measures by providing inaccurate or incomplete information.
4. Identifying Gambling-Related Problems
You may be at risk of gambling-related harm if, for example:
- you bet more money or time than you planned
- you chase losses or use credit to fund bets
- betting is affecting your work, studies, or relationships
- you hide your betting activity from family or friends
If you recognise these signs, you should seek assistance and consider applying the available responsible gambling tools immediately.
5. Support and Assistance in Tanzania
If you are concerned about your betting or that of someone close to you, support is available from health professionals and counselling services in Tanzania. You may consult:
- local mental health clinics or hospitals
- counselling centres and social support organisations
- licensed psychologists or counsellors experienced in addiction issues
You may also find self-help materials and screenings through international organisations focused on problem gambling. If you believe you are at risk, you should seek professional help without delay.
Anti-Money Laundering
1. Legal Obligations
DBBet operates in accordance with anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing laws of the United Republic of Tanzania. These legal rules require betting operators to identify customers, monitor transactions, and report suspicious activity to competent authorities.
By using the platform, you acknowledge that your transactions may be reviewed as part of these compliance duties and that DBBet may not be permitted to inform you about certain reports made under law.
2. Customer Identification (KYC)
To satisfy know-your-customer obligations, DBBet may request and verify:
- full name, date of birth, and place of birth
- national identification number, passport number, or similar document details
- residential address and contact information
- ownership and control of payment instruments used for deposits and withdrawals
You must provide accurate, up-to-date information and promptly inform DBBet of any changes. Identity checks may be carried out when you register, request a withdrawal, reach certain transaction thresholds, or where suspicious activity is observed.
3. Ongoing Monitoring and Suspicious Activity Detection
DBBet uses risk-based procedures and systems to monitor transactions and betting patterns. Indicators of potential money laundering or terrorist financing can include, for example:
- unusually high deposits or rapid movements of funds without consistent betting activity
- use of multiple payment methods in a short period without clear economic purpose
- frequent deposits followed by immediate withdrawals
- betting activity that appears linked to organised attempts to manipulate event outcomes
Where necessary, DBBet may:
- request explanations and supporting documents for certain transactions
- review previous activity on the account
- apply temporary restrictions while assessments are made.
4. Consequences of AML Breaches
If DBBet has reasonable grounds to suspect that your account is involved in money laundering, terrorist financing, or other financial crime, it may take one or more of the following actions, subject to Tanzanian law:
- suspend or block your account
- freeze all or part of the funds in your account
- decline deposits, bets, or withdrawal requests
- close your account
- report your activity and identity details to relevant authorities
DBBet may be legally restricted from informing you about the outcome of any such report or investigation. Any action under AML rules does not limit the possibility of separate civil or criminal proceedings initiated by competent authorities.
