GAMBLING ADDICTION

Responsible Gambling: Staying in Control with KLEVER BET.

At KLEVER BET, we believe in empowering our users to make informed and responsible decisions when it comes to sports betting. While betting can be an enjoyable activity, it's important to recognize the signs of gambling addiction and take proactive steps to stay in control.

​

Signs of Gambling Addiction

If you or someone you know is experiencing any of the following, it may be a sign of a gambling problem:

  • Betting more money than you can afford to lose.

  • Chasing losses by betting larger amounts to win back money.

  • Borrowing money or selling belongings to fund gambling.

  • Hiding gambling activity from family or friends.

  • Feeling anxious, irritable, or depressed when not gambling.

  • Neglecting work, family, or personal responsibilities due to gambling.

  • Relying on gambling as a primary source of income or escape from life’s challenges.

 

Best Practices for Responsible Gambling

Here are tips to help you enjoy betting without it becoming a problem:

 

1. Set a Budget

  • Decide in advance how much you can afford to bet and stick to it.

  • Never bet with money you need for essentials like rent, bills, or food.

2. Establish Time Limits

  • Set a time limit for your betting activities and take breaks.

  • Avoid spending excessive hours on betting-related activities.

3. Avoid Chasing Losses

  • Accept that losses are part of betting and avoid the urge to recover them immediately by placing larger bets.

4. Bet for Entertainment, Not Income

  • Treat sports betting as a form of entertainment, not a way to make money.

5. Avoid Betting Under the Influence

  • Avoid betting when under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or during emotional distress, as these can impair judgment.

6. Know the Odds

  • Understand that sports betting is unpredictable and outcomes cannot be guaranteed.
