Responsible Gambling

Paripesa » Responsible Gambling

1. PariPesa’s Commitment to Responsible Gaming

At PariPesa, we view gambling as entertainment and not as a way to make money. We recognize that gambling-related problems can have serious consequences, particularly on mental health, family relationships, professional life, and financial stability.

Excessive gambling behavior can be linked to depression, anxiety, and, in some cases, suicidal thoughts. That is why PariPesa implements strict measures to ensure a safe, responsible, and controlled gaming environment.

Our goal is to enable our users to enjoy our services without suffering negative consequences.

2. Operator Responsibility

PariPesa is actively committed to:

  • Protecting players from the risks associated with excessive gambling
  • Preventing access to gambling services by minors or vulnerable individuals
  • Providing effective control and self-limitation tools
  • Promoting honest, transparent, and non-misleading communication

We do not in any way condone excessive gambling behavior and we never encourage irresponsible spending.

3. Age Restriction – 18+

Access to PariPesa’s services is strictly reserved for individuals aged 18 or older, in accordance with applicable laws.

  • We do not permit minors to gamble
  • We do not run any advertising targeting minors or mentally vulnerable individuals
  • Our marketing campaigns, advertisements, and partnerships contain no content intended to attract individuals under the age of 18

PariPesa regularly conducts age verification checks.

If a user’s age cannot be confirmed:

  • Access to the account may be restricted
  • Funds may be temporarily frozen
  • Additional documents may be requested

The account remains restricted until clear and definitive confirmation of legal age.

Users are responsible for the accuracy of the information provided when registering on PariPesa.com.ci.

4. Protection of Minors and Parental Controls

If you share your computer or mobile device with minors, we strongly recommend that you:

  • Never save your login credentials
  • Protect your passwords and banking information
  • Use parental control software

Third-party tools such as NetNanny or Cyber Patrol can help restrict access to gambling sites.

5. Recognizing a Gambling Problem

Gambling becomes problematic when it ceases to be a leisure activity.

Answer “Yes” or “No” to the following questions:

  • Are your expenses out of control?
  • Do you borrow money or steal to continue gambling?
  • Do you spend less time with your family or loved ones?
  • Do comments from others about your gambling irritate you?
  • Have you lost interest in your usual hobbies?
  • Do you feel depressed or have suicidal thoughts after losing?
  • Have you ever lied about the time or money spent on gambling?

If you answered “Yes” to most of these questions, you likely have a gambling problem.

Recognizing an addiction is an essential step—and it’s never too late to take action.

6. Tips for Responsible Gambling

To reduce the risks associated with gambling, we recommend:

  • Never view gambling as a source of income
  • Set time and money limits before playing
  • Gamble only with money you can afford to lose
  • Do not try to recoup your losses
  • Avoid gambling while under the influence of alcohol or drugs, or when experiencing emotional distress

7. Control and Self-Limit Tools

Deposit and Betting Limits

Users can request the implementation of betting or deposit limits by contacting customer service.

  • Limits can be modified at any time
  • Any increase in the limit takes effect 24 hours after the last modification

Voluntary self-exclusion

PariPesa offers a voluntary self-exclusion service, allowing players to suspend their activity for the following periods:

  • 6 months
  • 9 months
  • 1 year

During the self-exclusion period:

  • The account is temporarily closed
  • No access to services is permitted
  • Opening a new account is strictly prohibited

At the end of the selected period, the user may resume using the services.

Any request for early lifting of self-exclusion may be considered, but the final decision rests solely with the company.

PariPesa accepts no liability if a user attempts to circumvent self-exclusion by creating an account under a different identity.

8. Help and Support Organizations

If you feel you need professional help, we encourage you to contact organizations specializing in supporting people suffering from gambling addiction, such as:

  • Gamblers Anonymous
  • BeGambleAware
  • Gambling Therapy

These organizations offer confidential support, educational resources, and counseling services.

9. Assistance and Contact

For any inquiries related to responsible gaming, limits, or self-exclusion, please contact our customer service via the official channels available on PariPesa.com.ci.
