RESPONSIBLE GAMING

Sahara Games believes in betting as a form of pure entertainment and assures its customers of a pleasant recreational experience while remaining aware of the social and financial problems related to betting. Sahara Games has developed a series of measures for responsible betting which allow customers to limit their spending and, if necessary, to choose to exclude themselves for a certain period of time.

HEY LOOSEN UP, IT’S JUST A GAME

If you play you can win or lose. Gambling can be amusing, entertaining and enjoyable. but there is no economic or mathematical certainty because of course, it’s just a game. In an extreme situation, you buy a little excitement at the right price.

What is the right price? The right price is what you can afford to gamble with while feeling completely at ease. You decide in advance how much to spend on betting and never exceed that limit. You keep the commitment you have made to yourself. Naturally, we offer you the chance to personalize your daily, weekly and monthly spending limit by simply contacting our customer services.
