Responsible gambling guidelines

Gamble for entertainment

Treat gambling as paid entertainment, not income. Budget KES 500-1000 weekly. Accept money as spent—winnings are bonus.

Set strict budgets

Never bet money for rent, food, bills. Use limits to enforce budget. Once spent, stop until next period.

Never chase losses

Lost KES 2,000? Don't deposit KES 5,000 trying to recover. Chasing losses spirals into bigger debts.

Take regular breaks

Step away every 30-60 minutes. Breaks prevent trance-like state where you lose awareness of time and money.
