Responsible Gambing Policy
Gambibet provides sports betting and casino games for adults in Gambia. Every bet carries a risk of losing money and no game or strategy can guarantee a profit.
Responsible gambling begins before a deposit is made. A player should decide how much time and money can be spent without affecting food, housing, education, transport, bills or family responsibilities.
The platform is available only to people aged eighteen or older. A person who does not meet the age requirement must not register, deposit or use another person account.
A Personal Gambling Plan
A simple plan makes it easier to notice when activity is moving beyond the intended limit. The plan should be based on money that can be lost without financial harm.
Before playing, decide
- The maximum amount available for the session
- The latest time at which the session will end
- The sports or games that will be used
- Whether promotions will be ignored
- The point at which a break becomes necessary
- The person to contact if control becomes difficult
The plan should not change because of a losing bet or a temporary win.
Keep Money Under Control
Gambling funds should remain separate from normal household money. Borrowed funds, school fees, rent money and emergency savings should never be used for betting or casino play.
A player should not deposit again simply to recover an earlier loss. Chasing losses can turn one decision into a much larger financial problem.
Winnings should not be treated as expected income. A positive result in one session does not make the next result more predictable.
Manage Time and Attention
Long sessions can reduce concentration and make spending harder to track. Regular pauses give the player time to review the balance and decide whether continuing still fits the original plan.
Betting should not replace sleep, work, study, exercise or time with family. Playing while angry, worried, tired or under the influence of alcohol can weaken judgement.
Turning off promotional notifications can help when a player wants a quieter period away from gambling.
Understand Random Results
Casino games use chance based outcomes. Previous rounds do not force a future slot, roulette, crash or card result to change.
Sports knowledge can help a person understand an event, but it cannot remove uncertainty. Injuries, weather, decisions by officials and unexpected performance can change an outcome.
Higher odds usually describe a less likely result. They do not offer a safer path to recovering money.
Warning Signs
Gambling may be becoming harmful when behaviour, mood or finances begin to change.
Warning signs can include
- Thinking about betting for most of the day
- Spending more than the planned amount
- Increasing stakes after a loss
- Borrowing or selling items to continue
- Hiding activity from family or friends
- Feeling anxious or angry when unable to gamble
- Missing work, study or family commitments
- Opening another account to avoid a restriction
- Using several payment methods to keep playing
- Believing that one large win will solve financial pressure
Recognising one or more signs is a reason to stop and seek support early.
Take a Break
A break can begin by logging out, removing saved payment access and avoiding sports or casino promotions for a chosen period. The player can also ask Gambibet support what account restrictions are currently available.
A request should state whether the player wants a short pause, a longer exclusion or permanent closure. Support may confirm the identity of the account holder before applying a restriction.
The player should not create another profile or use a different phone number to bypass a restriction.
Self Exclusion and Account Closure
Self exclusion is intended for a person who needs a firm barrier between the account and gambling. The requested duration should be chosen carefully.
An account closure request should mention any unsettled bets, pending withdrawals and remaining cash balance. Verification may be needed before an eligible balance can be paid.
Freebet balances, casino coupons and free spins can expire or be removed when an account is restricted or closed. Promotional rewards should not delay a decision to stop gambling.
Gambibet rules prohibit a new account after a previous account has been closed.
Limits and Other Controls
The exact account controls available can change. Support can explain which restrictions can be applied to the current account.
Possible requests include
- A temporary restriction on account access
- Permanent account closure
- Removal from marketing communication
- Exclusion from promotional rewards
- Review of payment activity
- Information about safer gambling support
A player should choose the strongest control needed for the situation rather than the option that is easiest to reverse.
Protecting Children
Adults are responsible for preventing children from accessing gambling through shared devices and payment accounts.
Protective steps include using a private screen lock, signing out after use, removing stored passwords and keeping mobile money PIN details secure. Gambling should not be presented to children as a normal way to earn money.
An adult who believes that a minor has accessed Gambibet should contact support immediately.
Protecting the Account
Account security is part of responsible gambling. Another person using the account can place bets, change the balance and make it difficult to understand the true level of activity.
Never share a password, wallet PIN or SMS verification code. Suspicious access should be reported as soon as it is noticed.
Only one personal account is permitted. A shared account can lead to restrictions and creates additional risk for everyone involved.
Support from Other People
A trusted family member or friend can help a player stay accountable to the chosen limits. Financial or health professionals can also provide independent support.
Gambling Therapy provides confidential online information and support for people affected by gambling harm in many countries and languages. Its website is available at www.gamblingtherapy.org.
Support should be sought before debts or personal problems become more serious.
Contact Gambibet About Gambling Control
Gambibet support can receive requests for account restriction, marketing removal, self exclusion or closure.
The request should include the registered phone number and a clear explanation of the restriction needed. Passwords, wallet PIN details and SMS codes must not be included.
Reminder
Stopping is always a valid decision. A player does not need to recover a previous loss before taking a break.
Gambling remains safer when it uses a fixed entertainment budget, limited time and clear personal boundaries. When those boundaries become difficult to follow, the right next step is to stop and ask for help.
