Your Personal Control (Self-Awareness and Control)
Mambo? Are you keeping it shwari with your betting? Gambling responsibly starts with you setting clear personal limits—both in time and money. Decide up front, for example, that you won’t deposit more than KSh 5,000 a week on slots or virtual sports. Avoid chasing losses and remember that online casinos are for fun, not for earning a living.
Make Informed Choices
Before you spin that roulette wheel or try your luck on pokies, know the odds, rules and risks. Online casinos licensed by the Betting Control and Licensing Board (BCLB) must publish RTPs and game rules—use that info to manage expectations and gamble responsibly.
Guard the Vulnerable
Some people—like those dealing with stress, money worries or mental-health challenges—are more at risk of problem gambling. Licensed operators should enforce age checks (you must be 18+), block underage access and flag risky patterns to protect everyone.
Reach Out When Needed
If you ever feel the urge to up your bets just to feel a buzz, or you notice your gambling activity is taking over your thoughts, it’s time to seek help. Self-exclusion options, deposit limits and helplines are there to support you in regaining control.
Ethical Practices by Casinos
Poa operators—those with a valid BCLB licence—offer tools like session reminders, self-assessment quizzes and pop-ups when losses pile up. They also ensure advertising doesn’t target the vulnerable. Always pick casinos that play by these rules.
