Gambling always carries the risk of financial loss. Only play money you can afford to lose. The goal is entertainment, not income. As a player on DBBet you can use controls that help you play responsibly.

Practical principles for safe play:

• Set deposit and loss limits before you start. Adjust them only after a cooling-off period.
• Decide your playing time and stick to it. Turn on reality checks and session reminders.
• Keep a separate betting budget in TZS. Never use rent, school fees, or daily needs.
• Do not chase losses. Stop when the limit or time is reached.
• Avoid betting when stressed, angry, tired, or after alcohol or drugs.
• Review your account history and track spending to stay in control.
• Protect minors. Keep your login secure and do not share devices or passwords.
• Use time-out or self-exclusion if control slips. These tools protect you and your finances.

Problem betting can start small and grow over time. It is a serious condition that needs attention and support.

Possible indicators of gambling addiction:

• Spending more than you can afford or using money meant for essentials.
• Chasing losses and increasing stakes to recover money.
• Failed attempts to cut down or stop betting.
• Thinking about gambling most of the day.
• Hiding betting from family or friends, or lying about losses.
• Borrowing, taking mobile loans, or selling items to fund play.
• Feeling restless, irritable, or low mood when not betting.
• Using betting to escape stress, loneliness, or problems.
• Neglecting work, studies, or family duties due to play.
• Missing payments or building debt linked to gambling.

Taking action early reduces harm. On DBBet you have practical tools to maintain control.

Recommended actions you can take today:

• Set strict deposit, loss, and wager limits in your account.
• Activate reality checks so you see time spent while playing.
• Use time-outs for short breaks (for example, 24 hours to 30 days).
• Self-exclude for at least six months if you feel at risk.
• Remove saved payment methods and disable auto top-ups.
• Unsubscribe from marketing messages that trigger betting.
• Do not borrow money or use mobile loans for gambling.
• Pay bills first and ring-fence your entertainment budget.
• Install blocking tools like Gamban or enable parental/ISP filters on devices.
• Share your plan with someone you trust and seek professional support if urges continue.
