Responsible gambling
Parsha International LTD (reg. Number: 193173), based in Kampala (hereinafter: ChampionBet), as a socially responsible company, takes special care of its players and actively participates in the comprehensive raising of awareness of responsible gambling. We motivate all our players and advise them to have fun as their main motive for gambling, to invest only money they can afford and to limit their finances thoughtfully for those purposes. Through this document, we want to explain and raise even more awareness of this serious problem. Many people consider sports betting to be just fun, while others perceive the above as a very serious way of earning a living, and it is those people who take betting as a serious way of earning money who are considered professional bookmakers.

GAMBLING AS A PROBLEM
PLAYER PROTECTION AND RESPONSIBLE GAMBLING
Gambling should be understood as fun, not as a way to make safe money! Keep track of the amount of money you spend on gambling and bet only with the money you can afford to lose!
1. Don’t try to recoup your losses!
2. Take care of the time you spend gambling!
3. Never gamble/bet above the amount you have previously set.
4. Regardless of whether you win or lose, be sure to stop gambling/betting when you reach the amount you previously set for your stake in the game.
5. Never gamble/bet if it exhausts you financially. If your family complains, you’re probably in trouble.
6. Never gamble/bet if you have to borrow because of your gambling/betting, ie never with borrowed money.
7. Never gamble with the money you intend to spend on something else.
8. If you notice that you are gambling to reduce stress, know that you are in trouble.
9. Never use gambling/betting to overcome uncomfortable feelings.
10. Never gamble if you have to neglect or give up social and/or business activities.
11. If you start gambling frequently, take a break.
12. If you feel that you no longer have control over your gambling, contact the appropriate counselling center.
