Responsible gaming is an important part of Parimatch's customer service policy, which is why we take problems that may arise as a result of gambling addiction very seriously. Parimatch considers it its direct responsibility to protect players from excessive gambling addiction and to prevent persons under 21 years of age from participating in gambling.

We want our service to be as convenient and functional as possible and perfect for an exciting pastime. Unfortunately, for some players, gambling can turn from an exciting hobby into a problem.

Parimatch fully supports and shares the responsible gambling policies used around the world, and also does everything to ensure that users can enjoy a safe and exciting game without losing control.

Maintaining control

Gambling at a bookmaker's office is just entertainment, a good way to have a good time, enjoy the game of your favorite team and find like-minded people among other bettors. While having a good time watching matches and gambling, it is nevertheless worth remembering that moderation must be observed.

Absolutely every betting participant must always remember:

gambling is only a form of leisure, and not a way of making money, you must not lose your sense of proportion;
if you lose, you should not try to win back immediately, because there is always a chance to win next time;
start the game on the condition that you can only spend the amount you have and no more;
Keep a close eye on the time and amount of money you spend on the game.

Protection of persons under 21 years of age

Persons under 21 years of age are prohibited from playing Parimatch. In accordance with the current legislation of the Republic of Belarus, participation in the game by persons under 21 years of age is a violation of the law.

The Parimatch service is not intended for children and teenagers. We do everything possible, including in accordance with the requirements of the current legislation of the Republic of Belarus, to ensure that persons under 21 years of age do not participate in gambling. Therefore, the user is required to present an identification document (passport). A person under 21 years of age cannot, under any circumstances, be served on the Parimatch website. Company employees ensure strict adherence to this rule.

Prevention of gambling addiction

Among the majority of people for whom gambling is just an exciting way to pass the time, there is a small percentage of gamblers who suffer from gambling addiction. The results of recent studies have shown that only a small part of the adult population faces such a problem as gambling addiction. However, Parimatch takes this problem very seriously and invites bettors to always remember that:

gambling is based on the law of probability, so there are no “formulas” or “systems” that guarantee winning;
the desire to play must come exclusively from you;
gambling is entertainment, and not a way to quickly get rich or pay off debts;
regularly monitor how much money you spend on the game;
to play, you always need to know the rules of the game;
It’s difficult to define the line that separates healthy passion and unhealthy addiction. But there are some signs that may indicate that a bettor is starting to have problems.

You are asked to answer 10 questions. If you answered yes to at least 5 of them, then there is a high probability that you already suffer from a gaming addiction.
