Responsible Gambling

Accessbet promotes responsible gaming and prioritizes the well-being of its customers. Betting is viewed as a source of entertainment with potential social and financial challenges. To provide a secure and thrilling experience on the platform, it proposes various steps to ensure responsible gambling. Customers from Nigeria have the option to set spending limits and can choose to self-exclude for a specified period if needed.

Embracing the fun of gambling

Gambling is games and betting with the possibility of winning or losing. It can be satisfying and exciting, but it is vital to keep in mind that there are no guarantees. The main point is to spend according to your budget and at a price that you are comfortable with. Set a budget limit in advance and abide by it. If needed, you can contact the customer support team to personalize your limits bound to certain periods of time (daily, weekly, and monthly).

Tips for responsible gambling: 10 guidelines to follow

 Here are some tips that will allow you to be more responsible about your decisions related to online gaming and sports betting:

  • View gambling as a source of entertainment and not a means to make money. Remember, it is about having fun.
  • Only play with funds that you can actually afford to lose. Never utilize money intended for routine expenses.
  • Establish a specific time limit and adhere to it;
  • Establish a sum of money you are prepared to put into your entertainment;
  • Accept losses as part of the cost for entertainment and don’t try to recoup them;
  • Do not ask for loans to finance gambling. Stick to the budget you set for yourself;
  • Learn the operating rules of the games you play and understand them to avoid accidental losses;
  • Strike a balance between gambling and other leisure activities;
  • Refrain from taking gambles if you are either under the influence of drugs or alcohol, as impairment of judgment can result in poor decision making.

If gambling poses a concern, it is important to acknowledge certain behaviour that may indicate a problem, such as:

  • Relationship strains;
  • Decreased work and school performance;
  • Excessive spending;
  • Theft;
  • Dishonesty;
  • Feelings of depression.

When gambling ceases to be a form of entertainment and starts causing worry, it is advisable to take a break. You have the autonomy to determine the duration and timing of this break. Do not hesitate to contact AccessBet customer support for assistance.
