Responsible Gaming

How Do I Gamble Responsibly?

At DanaDana, we view gambling as a form of entertainment and not a source of income. Here are some guidelines to help you gamble responsibly:

  • Only gamble what you can afford to lose. You can use Deposit Limits to help manage the amount of money you spend.
  • Never chase your losses, as this can lead to problems.
  • Monitor the amount of time you spend playing. You can use Reality Checks to remind yourself how long you have been logged into your account.
  • Balance gambling with other activities. When gambling becomes your only form of entertainment you should stop and consider whether you are still having fun.
  • Take regular breaks from gambling. Gambling continuously can cause you to lose track of time and perspective.
  • Do not gamble when under the influence of alcohol or when you are upset or depressed, as it can impair decision-making.
  • Think about how much time and money you spend gambling. You can keep track of your activity using My Activity.
  • Understand your chance of winning and how the product works.
  • Know that if you ever need to talk to someone about problem gambling, you can contact a problem gambling support organization.

We encourage our participants to stay in control while participating in DanaDana through the following:

For one to open an account with DanaDana, one must provide their national identification number, passport number, or driver's license number; these and other personal details will help us verify the age and identity of new customers. Note that all the personal details we request from you are purely to verify a participant’s identity.

  3. My Account History. To enable you to keep track of your activity, you can access a history of your transactions, deposits, and withdrawals in the Account Menu, and your balance is always visible in the top right corner of the page when logged in to DanaDana.
  4. Win/Loss History. The Win/Loss history, which is available in the 'My Activity' page as well as the History page via the Account Menu, reflects your returns minus your stakes for all bets settled within the chosen date range (including any bets placed outside the date range but settled within it), giving you an easy way to track your gambling spending.
  5. Net Deposits/Transactional History. For an overall figure of what is going in and out of your DanaDana account, you can check your net deposits via the Account Menu. The net deposit is simply the difference between what you have deposited and what you have withdrawn.
