Play Responsibly, Stay in Control

Gambling always involves a chance of losing money. Treat betting as entertainment and manage risk responsibly. On 888starz you can use tools to stay in control.

• Decide how much TZS you can afford to lose before you start.
• Set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits in your account.
• Use session reminders and time limits to guide your playing.
• Do not chase losses or try to recover money quickly.
• Keep savings and bill money separate from your betting balance.
