Responsible Gaming
A Safe & Enjoyable Gaming Experience for Everyone
At Fortune Tiger Nigeria, we believe gaming should be both fun and safe. Responsible gaming means maintaining control, treating gaming as entertainment—not income—and seeking help when needed.
1. Set Limits—and Stick to Them
- Budget carefully: Decide on a maximum spending amount—daily or per session—and don’t go over it, even during a streak.
- Time management: Set a time limit for your play. Stick to it. Avoid losing track of time, especially when playing on mobile.
- Never chase losses. Betting more to recover lost money can lead to greater harm.
These simple steps help ensure gaming remains a controlled, enjoyable activity.
2. Know the Risks—Recognize Warning Signs
Gambling should never replace stable income. If gaming starts to impact your finances, relationships, or mental health—or if you’re spending more than intended—it may be time to pause and reassess.
3. Play Only if You’re Clear-Headed
Avoid gaming when under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Impaired judgment increases the likelihood of impulsive or irresponsible bets.
4. Use Available Tools to Help Control Play
Many licensed gaming platforms in Nigeria offer built-in tools such as:
- Self-exclusion options that block access to gambling services for a chosen period
- Deposit limits, session timers, and reality checks to help you stay within safe boundaries
5. Know When to Seek Further Support
If you or someone you care about might be developing problematic gaming habits, it’s brave to reach out for help. Below are established Nigerian services with trusted support:
- Stake Responsibly / Responsible Gaming Africa – Offers self-assessment tools, confidential counseling, and guidance for those needing help.
- Psychgam Services – Nigeria’s first dedicated treatment provider for gambling addiction, offering screening, therapy, and support groups.

6. Community & Peer Support
Connecting with others who understand can provide both comfort and encouragement:
- Gamblers Anonymous (GA)—a global peer-support movement based on the 12-step recovery model. GA offers understanding, structure, and connection.
Your Commitment to Safe Play
- Treat gambling as a form of entertainment, not as a means to fix financial difficulties.
- Recognize when playing is affecting your life negatively—and feel empowered to pause or stop.
- Use responsible gaming tools and set limits that work for your situation.
