At Efirbet, we believe that betting should always remain a form of entertainment, not a way to solve financial difficulties or a source of stress. Our goal is to promote responsible gambling practices and help users maintain a healthy balance between enjoyment and risk.
Efirbet is an informational and review platform. We do not operate gambling services, but we actively encourage safe and responsible behaviour when engaging with betting operators.
Core Principles of Responsible Gambling
To keep gambling enjoyable and under control, we encourage you to follow these principles:
- Only gamble with money you can afford to lose.
- Set clear limits on both time and spending.
- Do not chase losses – trying to recover losses often leads to greater harm.
- Treat gambling as entertainment, not a source of income.
- Take regular breaks and avoid gambling every day.
Signs of Problem Gambling
You may be experiencing gambling-related difficulties if you notice one or more of the following signs:
- Spending more money than you originally planned.
- Borrowing money or using funds meant for essential expenses.
- Hiding gambling activity from family or friends.
- Feeling anxious, stressed, or irritable when unable to gamble.
- Repeatedly trying to win back losses by placing additional bets.
- Gambling negatively affecting your work, studies, finances, or personal relationships.
Recognising these signs early is an important step toward regaining control.
Self-Help and Control Tools
If you feel your gambling habits may be becoming unhealthy, consider the following steps:
- Set deposit, loss, or time limits on betting accounts.
- Use self-exclusion tools offered by licensed operators.
- Keep track of how much time and money you spend gambling.
- Take regular breaks and avoid gambling when feeling stressed or emotional.
- Keep a simple gambling diary to monitor patterns and spending.
Help and Support in Kenya
If gambling starts to feel overwhelming, we strongly encourage seeking help from official and recognised organisations that provide support for gambling-related harm.
The following bodies offer guidance, information, and support:
- Betting Control and Licensing Board (BCLB – Kenya) – The official regulatory authority overseeing betting and gaming activities in Kenya. BCLB provides information on responsible gambling and consumer protection.
- Ministry of Health (Kenya) – Through public mental health services and licensed healthcare facilities, professional support may be available for individuals experiencing gambling-related harm.
If you believe you are experiencing serious emotional distress or loss of control, please seek assistance from a licensed healthcare professional or an authorised public health service in Kenya.
Protection of Minors
Gambling is strictly for individuals aged 18 years and above in Kenya. We strongly discourage underage gambling and encourage parents and guardians to use appropriate parental control tools and monitoring software.
Final Advice
Gambling should always remain a fun and controlled activity. If it begins to cause more stress than enjoyment, it may be time to step back and seek support.
Responsible gambling protects not only your finances, but also your well-being and relationships. Always gamble responsibly.
