Linebet is committed to promoting responsible gambling practices among all users in Nigeria. Gambling should be treated as a form of entertainment, not as a means of generating income. If you feel that your gambling behaviour is becoming difficult to manage, the tools and resources described below are available to you.

Available Control Tools

The platform provides several tools to help you manage your betting activity:

• Deposit Limits: Set daily, weekly, or monthly limits on the amount you can deposit into your account.
• Bet Limits: Restrict the maximum amount you are permitted to stake within a given period.
• Session Time Limits: Define the maximum duration of a single betting session to help manage time spent on the platform.
• Self-Exclusion: Request a temporary or permanent exclusion from the platform if you feel you need a break from gambling. During any self-exclusion period, your account will be suspended and you will not be permitted to register a new account.
• Reality Checks: Enable periodic notifications that remind you of the time elapsed during your betting session.

To activate any of these tools, navigate to the responsible gambling section within your account settings or contact the customer support team directly.

Risk Self-Assessment

If you are unsure whether your gambling habits are becoming problematic, a self-assessment questionnaire is available through the platform or via external support organisations. This tool is designed to help you evaluate your behaviour objectively.

Support Organisations

If you require additional support, the following organisations offer confidential advice and assistance:

• National Council on Problem Gambling (NCPG): Provides resources and referral services for individuals affected by gambling-related difficulties.
• GamCare: An international organisation offering free information, support, and counselling to those affected by problem gambling.
• Gamblers Anonymous Nigeria: A peer-support network for individuals seeking to address compulsive gambling behaviour.

Linebet encourages all users to gamble responsibly and to make use of these resources whenever needed. Minors are strictly prohibited from accessing the platform.

Linebet operates in full compliance with applicable anti-money laundering (AML) and counter-terrorism financing (CTF) regulations. All users in Nigeria are subject to these obligations as a condition of using the platform.

Legal Obligations

As a licensed betting operator, Linebet is legally required to:

• Implement and maintain AML and CTF compliance procedures.
• Report suspicious transactions to the relevant regulatory and law enforcement authorities where required by law.

Identity Verification (KYC)

All users must complete identity verification before accessing full platform features, including withdrawals. The KYC process requires submission of:

• Proof of residential address.
• Documentation to verify the source of funds where large transactions are involved.

Verification is carried out in line with applicable Nigerian financial regulations and international AML standards.

Transaction Monitoring

All transactions on the Linebet platform are subject to automated and manual monitoring. The platform employs the following measures:

• Continuous monitoring of deposit and withdrawal patterns.
• Flagging of transactions that exceed defined thresholds or exhibit unusual characteristics.
• Cross-referencing of user data against relevant watchlists and sanctions databases.

Detection of Suspicious Activity

The following behaviours may be considered indicators of suspicious activity and will be subject to additional scrutiny:

• Frequent deposits and withdrawals of similar amounts without corresponding betting activity.
• Use of multiple payment methods across different accounts.
• Attempts to transfer funds between user accounts.
• Requests to withdraw funds that were deposited but never used for betting.

Consequences of Policy Violations

If suspicious activity is identified or a user fails to comply with verification requirements, Linebet may take any of the following actions:

• Suspend or restrict access to the account pending further investigation.
• Place a hold on pending withdrawals until compliance checks are completed.
• Permanently block the account and report the matter to the relevant authorities.
• Freeze funds within the account where legally obligated to do so.

Linebet will not be held liable for any losses resulting from account restrictions imposed in accordance with its AML obligations.

Linebet applies comprehensive technical and organisational measures to protect the platform, all user accounts, and every transaction conducted in Nigeria. The security framework described below is maintained on an ongoing basis and updated in line with emerging threats.

User Responsibilities

Your account security also depends on the steps you take to protect your credentials:

• Do not share your password or account access details with any other person.
• Use a strong and unique password that is not used across other services.
• Log out of your account after each session, particularly when using shared or public devices.
• Contact the Linebet support team immediately if you suspect that your account has been compromised.
