Responsible Gaming
How to keep betting on Spurbets safe, affordable and fun.
01Why responsible gaming matters
Crash games, slots and sports bets move fast, and that speed makes it easy to bet more than planned. Responsible gaming means staying in control of the money and time you spend, so betting remains a hobby and not a problem.
Only players aged 18 and over may open a Spurbets account. Betting by minors is illegal in Kenya.
02Five habits that keep play safe
- Set a weekly spending limit and stick to it.
- Plan how long you will play before you start.
- Bet only with spare money, never with money for bills, food or school fees.
- Never borrow, use mobile loans or sell things to gamble.
- Stop after a loss instead of chasing it with bigger stakes.
03Warning signs to watch for
- Betting with more money than you planned.
- Thinking about betting most of the day.
- Hiding betting from family or friends.
- Feeling anxious or angry when you cannot bet.
- Neglecting work, study or family because of betting.
If you notice these signs, take a break straight away and talk to someone you trust.

05Rewards and responsible play
Cashback, freebets and tournaments are extras, not a reason to bet more. Do not chase a tournament place or a bigger cashback by raising your stakes beyond your budget.
06Getting help in Kenya
Spurbets refers players to responsiblegambling.or.ke for support with gambling addiction. You can also speak with a doctor, a counsellor or a person you trust. Asking for help early makes it easier to change things.
