Responsible gaming at Sokabet Tanzania
Gambling is entertainment. It carries financial risk and is not a source of income. Sokabet Tanzania provides tools to help you stay in control — deposit limits, session limits, cooling-off periods and self-exclusion are all available from your account settings at any time. This page explains how each tool works and where to get help if gambling is becoming a problem.
Player control tools
All tools below are available directly in your Sokabet Tanzania account settings. Changes to limits that reduce your access take effect immediately. Requests to increase limits require a 24-hour cooling-off period before they activate — this delay is intentional and cannot be bypassed by contacting support.
Deposit limits
Set a daily, weekly or monthly cap on deposits in TSh. Once the limit is reached, further deposits are blocked until the period resets. Reductions take effect immediately; increases activate after 24 hours.
Session time limits
Set a maximum session length in minutes. When the limit is reached you are logged out automatically. You can also enable a reality check — a pop-up every 30 or 60 minutes showing your session time and net result.
Cooling-off period
Take a break from 1 day to 6 weeks. During a cooling-off period your account remains open but you cannot deposit or place bets. The period cannot be shortened once activated. Pending withdrawals are processed normally.
Self-exclusion
Block access to your account for 6 months, 1 year, 3 years or permanently. Self-exclusion cannot be reversed before the period expires — not by you and not by support. Account balance is withdrawn to your registered mobile money number before exclusion activates.
Loss limits
Set a maximum net loss per day, week or month in TSh. When the limit is reached all betting and casino access is suspended for the remainder of the period. Reductions apply immediately.
Account closure
You can close your account permanently at any time by emailing support@sokabet-tanzania.com. Balance is paid out to your registered mobile money number within 15 minutes of KYC-verified closure request processing.
Signs that gambling may be a problem
Problem gambling develops gradually and is not always obvious to the person affected. The following signs are commonly associated with gambling harm — recognising them early makes a meaningful difference to outcomes. These apply equally to sports betting, casino slots and crash games like Aviator.
Spending more than you planned and chasing losses to recover them in the same session.
Borrowing money from family or friends, or using money set aside for rent, food or bills to fund betting.
Feeling anxious, irritable or unable to concentrate when not gambling.
Hiding your betting activity or the amount you have lost from people close to you.
Spending increasing amounts of time on betting or casino games at the expense of work, family or sleep.
Feeling that the next bet will recover all previous losses — this pattern accelerates harm rather than reversing it.
If several of these apply to you or someone you know, the tools above and the support contacts below are a practical starting point. You do not need to reach a crisis point before using them.
Support and help resources
Sokabet Tanzania's support team is available 24 hours a day via live chat and at support@sokabet-tanzania.com. When contacting us about a gambling concern, include the phrase "responsible gaming" in your message — it routes your query to a trained team member rather than the general support queue.

Protecting minors
Sokabet Tanzania is strictly for players aged 18 and over. Age is verified via NIDA card or Tanzanian passport during KYC — no withdrawal is processed before this check is complete. If you share a device with a minor, use your device's parental control features or browser content filters to block access to gambling sites. If you believe a minor has registered using false documents, report it immediately to support@sokabet-tanzania.com — the account will be closed and data deleted within 24 hours of confirmed identification.
