Responsible gaming at 1win Uganda
We at 1win Uganda understand that gambling should remain just for fun and should never cause negative consequences to players. Therefore, we place great importance on the principles of responsible gaming and offer our customers a variety of tools and resources to control their gaming activity.
What is responsible gaming?
Responsible gambling is an approach to gambling in which the player is aware of the possible risks and takes steps to minimize them. This means the following:
- Play for amounts you can afford to lose
- Setting limits on deposits and bets
- Controlling the time spent playing the game
- Understanding that gambling is not a way to make money
- Seeking help at the first signs of gambling addiction
We offer our clients a whole range of tools to control their gaming activity:
- Deposit limits — you can set a daily, weekly or monthly limit on the amount you can replenish your account.
- Betting limits — limit the maximum bet amount to avoid impulsive decisions.
- Losing limits — set the maximum amount you are willing to lose for a certain period.
- Timeouts — take a break from the game for a period of 24 hours to 6 months.
- Self-exclusion — completely block access to your account for a period of 6 months to 5 years.
All these options are available in your personal account and can be activated at any time. We also provide information materials about responsible gambling and contacts for organizations that can help problem gamblers.
1win Uganda Minors Policy
We are committed to protecting minors from potential gambling-related harm. Therefore, we do not accept players under 25 years of age and use modern age verification methods.
Parents should also take steps to ensure that their children do not have access to online gambling:
- Use parental control programs
