Best Practices for Healthy Play
Responsible gambling is about moderation and self-reflection. To maintain a positive gaming experience, every player should consider a few practical tips:
- Play for fun, not for profit.
- Only bet what you can afford to lose.
- Avoid chasing losses, which often leads to greater risks.
- Determine in advance how much time and money you are willing to spend.
- Take regular breaks to maintain common sense.
- Never gamble when you are stressed, upset, or under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
- Maintain a balance between your hobbies and responsibilities and gambling.
Recognizing Problem Gambling
Sometimes gambling can turn from a pastime into a bad habit. Being aware of the warning signs can make a big difference. Here are some common signs:
- Spending more than planned or borrowing money to gamble;
- Lying to friends or family about your gambling activity;
- Neglecting work, school, or relationships because of gambling;
- Increasing the size of your bets in pursuit of the same thrill;
- Feeling anxious, restless, or irritable when not gambling;
- Constantly thinking about the next bet or session;
- Running up debt or selling possessions to pay for gambling;
- Excessive highs and lows associated with winning and losing;
- Repeated unsuccessful attempts to quit.
When to Ask for Help
If gambling is starting to overwhelm you or you can’t control it, seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness. Many people face similar problems, and there are professional, confidential and non-judgmental resources that can help you. These services are available both online and offline, giving you access to support wherever you are.
JitaBet encourages players to take action as early as possible. Our support team will help you set limits, request a temporary break, or even freeze your account if you need time. These steps can be the first step to regaining control and protecting your well-being.
Ways to Find Support
In addition to the platform’s tools, there are many proven options you can turn to:
- Talk to someone you trust: Sharing your experiences with close friends or family can provide emotional support and inspiration.
- Join a support group: Many people find comfort and strength in talking to others who understand their experiences.
- Seek professional counselling: A counsellor or mental health professional can help you develop strategies for managing your gambling behaviour in a healthy way.
In addition, several international organisations specialise in helping people with gambling addiction:
- Gamblers Anonymous – a peer-to-peer support network with meetings all over the world.
- Gambling Therapy – free online counselling, forums and live chat with trained counsellors.
- GamCare – a UK-based service offering 24/7 confidential help and treatment options.
Protecting Against Underage Gambling
JitaBet takes the issue of underage gambling very seriously. Access to the platform is strictly limited to persons aged 18 and above, in accordance with international gambling laws and responsible gaming practices. Any attempt to register or participate by a minor is considered a violation of our terms and conditions and will be stopped immediately.
To protect the community, JitaBet employs a comprehensive Know Your Customer (KYC) procedure. Each user is required to verify their identity before being granted full access to betting or casino services. This system not only prevents underage gambling, but also ensures a safe and transparent environment for all players. Accounts containing false or misleading personal data, especially regarding age, will be blocked, winnings will be voided and deposits will be refunded.
Parental Guidance and Extra Measures
While JitaBet employs strict verification, families and guardians also play an important role in preventing minors from accessing gambling. We recommend several simple but effective measures to enhance home security:
- Install parental control tools or filtering software to block gambling-related sites;
- Do not save login details or use the “Remember Password” function on shared devices;
- Always log out of your JitaBet account after use and never leave active sessions unattended;
- Create separate user profiles on browsers or devices for children and adults;
- Keep all financial data, including bank cards and e-wallets, private and secure.
