Betting is entertainment
Casino games, crash games and sports bets are a form of paid entertainment. Every outcome is random, and no strategy or previous result can guarantee a win. Treat the money you bet as the cost of having fun, not as a way to earn an income or solve money problems.
Only people aged 18 and over may register and play. Underage gambling is illegal in Kenya.
Simple rules for safer play
- Set a weekly budget before you deposit and stop when it is used up.
- Decide how long you will play and keep an eye on the clock.
- Never bet money meant for rent, school fees, food or transport.
- Do not borrow money or take mobile loans to gamble.
- Avoid betting when you are angry, stressed or after drinking.
- Do not try to win back losses with bigger stakes.
Signs of a gambling problem
- You spend more money or time on betting than you planned.
- You keep thinking about the next bet or the next round of Aviator.
- You hide your betting from family or friends.
- You feel restless or irritated when you cannot play.
- Betting affects your work, studies, sleep or relationships.
If any of these sound familiar, take a break and talk to someone you trust.
