Responsible Gaming
Responsible play protects your wellbeing. On 1win, your safety comes first. Gambling involves risk, so set limits and stay in control. Use deposit limits, reality checks, time-outs, or self-exclusion when needed. Help is available in Somalia and online.

Basic Principles of Responsible Gaming
Gambling always involves the risk of financial loss. Treat betting as paid entertainment, not a way to make money. Plan your play and protect your budget.
On 1win, you can use player protection tools to manage your activity.
- Set a betting budget before you start and stick to it.
- Choose limits for deposits, losses, wagers, and session time.
- Turn on reality checks to review time and spend.
- Take regular breaks to reset your focus.
- Never chase losses; stop when the limit is reached.
- Use only funds you can afford to lose; avoid loans or credit for gambling.
- Track your activity in your account history and adjust limits if needed.
- Keep balance in life: work, family, rest, and play.
- You must be 18 or older to gamble. Protect minors using device parental controls.
