Responsible Gambling 🛡️
Responsible gambling means staying in control of your time, your money and your choices. On our site, which reviews Premier Bet and other operators, we want every reader to know the risks before playing. You must be 18+ to gamble.
An important point for UK readers: Premier Bet is run by Entertainment Africa Ltd and holds a licence from the Gaming Board of Tanzania. It holds no licence valid for the United Kingdom, so UK consumer protections and the GAMSTOP self-exclusion scheme should not be assumed to apply to it.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling often develops gradually. Watch for these signs in yourself or someone close to you:
- Spending more money or time than you planned
- Chasing losses by betting again to win money back
- Borrowing money or selling belongings to gamble
- Hiding gambling from family and friends
- Feeling anxious, irritable or guilty when you are not playing
- Neglecting work, relationships or bills
If several of these sound familiar, pause and consider reaching out for support.
Self-Exclusion and Taking a Break
Self-exclusion blocks you from gambling for a set period. For operators licensed in Great Britain, GAMSTOP is the free national scheme, and it covers only those licensed sites. Because Premier Bet has no UK licence, GAMSTOP will not cover it, so you should contact the operator's support directly to ask about closing or restricting your account.
You can also use tools on your own device, such as gambling-blocking software and bank-level gambling blocks, which several UK banks offer through their apps.
Deposit Limits and Money Management
Set a budget before you play and treat it as money already spent. Decide a deposit amount you can comfortably lose, and stop when it is gone.
- Never gamble with rent, bills or borrowed money
- Set a time limit and use phone alarms
- Take regular breaks away from the screen
- Avoid gambling when stressed, upset or after drinking
- Do not chase losses
Keep in mind that a very low minimum deposit does not make play low risk. Small, frequent deposits add up quickly, so keep a written record of what you spend.
