Responsible Gaming
1win runs a legal and transparent business and encourages responsible and fair gaming practices. The company cares about players gambling responsibly and consciously and does its best to educate its users on this matter.
Every Cameroonian player should understand that gambling here is first and foremost his/her area of responsibility. Gambling should not be a way for you to make money and solve financial difficulties. Treat gambling with 1win as fun and enjoyment.
It is important to note that mainly players from Cameroon come to 1win for the positive emotions, to socialize with like-minded people, and to have a good time. However, there is a small percentage of people who become addicted to gambling. We advise you to read the information on this page carefully to find out whether or not you have a reason for becoming addicted, how you can protect yourself, and where you can get help if needed.
The risks associated with gambling and Basic Rules of Responsible Gaming
When agreeing to play online games and accepting the terms of the company, every player must understand and accept all the risks of gambling entertainment. After all, they are most often based on the generation of random numbers, and all your victories depend on chance and luck.
Below is a list of rules that will help you play responsibly and protect yourself from rash actions and losses as a result:
- Always determine how much time you can spend on the game without harming your work and family relationships;
- Risk only the money you have set aside for online gaming. If you fail, do not try to win back and resort to spending money intended for other purposes, much less borrowing money;
- Do not try to win back right after losing, give yourself time to rest and return to the game with a fresh mind;
- Develop a strategy for yourself and stick to it, or use the known strategies of experienced players, which are freely available on the Internet;
- Determine for yourself winning and losing limits, when you should stop;
- Never play if you are upset or depressed;
- Do not gamble under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
These basic rules will help you play more responsibly and control the game. Take advantage of them or develop such rules for yourself.
A few questions to recognize the problem
1win has developed a series of questions through professional psychologists specifically for players to check themselves for addiction, so you can find out how responsible you are when it comes to your gambling. Answer the following questions honestly:
- Have you ever noticed yourself playing too much and not being able to stop?
- Have you ever had to lie about playing online?
- Do negative emotions, worries, frustrations drive you to gamble?
- Have you had to spend money on gambling that was meant for everyday expenses, and does it affect your budget?
- Have you ever borrowed money to gamble online?
- When you lose all the money in your gambling account, do you feel dissatisfied, irritated, angry, aggressive, or guilty and want to get even as soon as possible?
- When you lose, do you feel a strong desire to win it back immediately?
- When you lose all the money in your account, are you frustrated, angry, aggressive, or guilty?
- Are you prepared to spend the last of your money on gambling?
- Does gambling lead to inner turmoil, anxiety, or insomnia?
- Do your online gambling hobbies affect your relationships with the people closest to you?
