Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming: Play Smart, Live Better
At Pin-Up Bet Nigeria, we believe that betting should be a fun, exciting, and controlled form of adult entertainment, never a source of stress or financial difficulty.
Your well-being is our top priority. We are deeply committed to promoting a responsible gaming environment for all our Nigerian players. Our policy is built on the foundation of player protection, ethical operation, and providing you with the tools to remain in control. We want your experience here to be positive, predictable, and within your means.
Section 1: Maintaining Control – The Player’s Guide
A responsible player views betting as a leisure activity with a cost, similar to a cinema ticket or a dinner out. To ensure you maintain a healthy, positive relationship with betting, we urge you to follow these practical guidelines:
- Set an Affordable Budget: Only bet money you can comfortably afford to lose, without impacting your monthly financial commitments (rent, utilities, school fees, etc.). Never borrow money to gamble.
- Define a Time Limit: Decide on a maximum duration for your betting session and stick to it. Betting should never interfere with your work, family, or social life.
- Avoid Chasing Losses: A loss is part of the game. If you lose, do not attempt to recover the money by immediately placing larger bets. This is a common warning sign of problem behavior.
- Maintain Balance: Betting should not be your primary or only source of entertainment. Engage in other hobbies and activities to keep your life balanced.
- Avoid Emotional Betting: Never place bets when you are feeling depressed, overly excited, stressed, or under the influence of alcohol or other substances. A clear mind makes responsible decisions.
Section 2: Spotting the Signs – When Fun Stops
It can be difficult to admit when you, or a loved one, may be losing control. If you are concerned, we encourage you to ask yourself these honest questions:
- Do you often bet with money that was meant for essential expenses?
- Have you ever lied to family or friends about the amount of time or money you spend betting?
- Do you feel restless, anxious, or irritable when you try to stop or cut back on betting?
- Have you missed work, school, or family gatherings due to betting?
- Do you find it increasingly difficult to stop playing, even after a large win or loss?
If you answered ‘Yes’ to several of these questions, it is crucial to seek support immediately.
Section 3: Your Pin-Up Bet Toolkit for Control
We provide simple, self-management tools within your account settings to help you proactively manage your play:
| Tool | Function | Action |
| Deposit Limits | Set a maximum amount you can deposit over a specific period (Daily, Weekly, or Monthly). | Limit requests are effective immediately. Increasing a limit requires a cooling-off period. |
| Loss Limits | Define the maximum amount you are prepared to lose within a set timeframe. | Automatically locks further betting when the limit is reached. |
| Session Limits | Control how long you can remain active and logged in for a single betting session. | The system will log you out automatically once the time is reached. |
| Time-Out | Need a short break? Block access to your account for a short period (e.g., 24 hours, 7 days, 30 days). | Access automatically resumes after the chosen period ends. |
| Self-Exclusion | For a longer, structured break, block access for a minimum of 6 months, 1 year, or more. | Your account will be closed, and all promotional contact will cease. You cannot re-open the account until the period expires. |
To activate these tools, please visit the “Responsible Gaming” section in your profile or contact our dedicated Support Team 24/7.
Section 4: Protecting Our Youth – Zero Tolerance
In compliance with Nigerian law and our strict operating standards, betting is strictly prohibited for anyone under the age of 18.
- We employ robust age verification systems and conduct checks to confirm the age of all players.
- Any account found to be registered by a minor will be immediately closed, and all winnings will be forfeited.
A Message to Parents and Guardians: If you share a computer, tablet, or mobile device with minors, please take these steps to prevent underage access:
- Keep your Pin-Up Bet login details private and secure.
- Install filtering software (such as NetNanny, CyberPatrol, or similar parental control tools) on your devices.
