Risks of Irresponsible Gambling

Betting may be considered harmful if the player loses control. Gambling obsession leads to stress, anxiety, financial problems, and family problems. Paripesa asks the players to keep these risks in mind and never make gaming the center of one’s life.

How to Spot Addiction

The bookmaker offers users a self-assessment tool to evaluate their betting habits. Players can find out whether they might be addicted by answering simple questions. If players answer yes to 3+ questions, then they’re encouraged to get professional help. Signs of gaming problems include:

• Playing even after losing a lot of money;
• Borrowing money to place more bets;
• Neglecting family or social duties because of betting;
• Feeling annoyed when others comment on your gambling;
• Losing interest in hobbies and other activities;
• Feeling depressed after losses;
• Hiding the time or money spent on betting.

Protecting Minors

Paripesa does not allow minors to bet on the portal. The brand makes sure that all advertisements and promotions are aimed only toward adults and are not available to children. The company also suggests to parents who are sharing devices with minors to keep passwords and usernames under lock. Betting sites can even be blocked using parental control tools like NetNanny and Cyber Patrol.

Age Verification and Rules

The legal betting age in Zambia is 18 years. Paripesa conducts regular age checks to ensure compliance with the law. If a user cannot prove their age, their account may be restricted, and any money in it suspended. It is the player’s responsibility to meet legal age requirements.

Honest Advertising

The bookmaker believes that honest promotions are the best policy. The site does not make false claims about the games and promotions. It also ensures that the users know what they are signing up to. The brand also leverages advertisements to promote responsible gambling. It encourages the user to monitor their spending and time on the site.

Tips for Safe Betting

Paripesa has a few tips that will help players stay on the right track and gamble their way to a safe betting experience:

• Never make an income out of betting, treat it like entertainment;
• Figure out how much time and money you are going to spend on your bets;
• Never gamble with money you can’t afford to lose;
• Do not chase losses to win back money;
• Do not gamble when you are angry, worried, under stress, or use alcohol or drugs.

Taking a Break with Self-Exclusion

Paripesa also provides a self-exclusion program for those players who need to make a break. They have the option to block their accounts for a month at a time or up to one year. During this time, accounts are deactivated, and players cannot access gambling services.

The brand decides whether the self-exclusion is allowed to be lifted earlier than the selected period. The brand, however, suggests users not to create new accounts during this time. If a self-excluded user opens a new account and places bets, the company is not answerable for their actions.
