Tools for Control

Most licensed betting platforms in Kenya offer features to help you stay in control of your gambling.

Deposit Limits

Set daily, weekly, or monthly limits on how much you can deposit. Once reached, you won't be able to add more funds until the period resets.

Time Reminders

Receive alerts after a set period of continuous play, helping you track time and take necessary breaks from gambling.

Self-Exclusion

Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from gambling platforms. This prevents you from accessing your account for a set period.

Reality Checks

Get regular summaries of your gambling activity including time spent, money wagered, and wins/losses to maintain awareness.
