Responsible Gaming at Wazobet
Wazobet is committed to promoting a betting environment where players can enjoy sports and casino entertainment responsibly and with full awareness of the risks associated with gambling. As a platform licensed by both the Lagos State Lotteries and Gaming Authority (LSLGA) and the Curaçao Gaming Authority, we follow strict operational standards designed to protect users and prevent harmful betting behavior.
Our aim is to support healthy play habits and ensure that all users have access to tools that help maintain balance and control.
Our Approach to Responsible Play
Wazobet’s responsible gaming framework is based on several core principles:
- Players must be adults aged 18+.
- Gambling should always be treated as a form of recreation, not a source of income.
- The platform must provide clear oversight, safety mechanisms, and limit options.
- Harmful behavior should be identified early, and assistance should be accessible.
- Users must have transparent access to their betting activity and account history.
These values guide how we design, monitor, and regulate every part of the Wazobet experience.
Preventing Underage Participation
Wazobet strictly prohibits anyone under 18 from opening an account or placing bets.
To enforce this requirement, we:
- Verify identity documents at registration or during withdrawals
- Conduct additional checks if suspicious activity is detected
- Block accounts where age cannot be confirmed
- Require valid proof before reactivation
We also encourage parents to secure devices and implement content filters to prevent minors from accessing gambling platforms.
Player-Control Tools
To help maintain responsible behavior, Wazobet offers several self-management options that allow players to control how they engage with betting.
Deposit Controls
You can set financial limits to regulate how much you add to your account daily, weekly, or monthly. These caps cannot be exceeded once they are active.
Session Time Controls
Players may restrict how long a single session lasts. Once the limit is reached, the system logs you out automatically.
Activity Notifications
Timed notifications can be enabled to remind players how long they have been active on the site.
Full Account Overview
Your dashboard contains a detailed breakdown of financial transactions, betting records, and gameplay actions, helping you evaluate your activity objectively.
Self-Exclusion Options
Wazobet offers flexible exclusion tools designed for players who feel the need to pause or completely halt their gambling activity.
Short-Term Break
You can pause your account for a brief period (1 day to several weeks). During this time, no betting, depositing, or gameplay is allowed.
Extended Exclusion
Longer exclusion periods (3, 6, or 12 months) are available for users who need a more substantial break.
Permanent Closure
If you want to fully stop gambling, Wazobet can permanently block your account once we verify your request.
During any exclusion period, promotional communication is suspended as well.
Recognizing Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually. Consider taking action if you notice any of the following patterns:
- Spending more than intended
- Feeling pressure to win back losses
- Hiding gambling from others
- Betting despite financial or personal issues
- Using borrowed money to gamble
- Feeling stressed, anxious, or irritated when unable to play
If these signs appear, we recommend using our limit or exclusion features immediately.
Where to Find Help
If you believe you may be losing control over your gambling activity, professional assistance is available. Independent organizations such as:
- Gamblers Anonymous
- National Council on Problem Gambling (NCPG)
- Mental health services across Nigeria
- Certified counselors specializing in gambling behavior
can offer guidance and support.
Our support team is also available to help you activate limits or exclusion settings whenever needed.
Our Long-Term Responsibility
Wazobet continuously updates its monitoring systems, internal protocols, and user-protection measures in line with regulatory requirements and industry best practices. We remain committed to building a safe, transparent, and responsible betting environment for every user.
