Responsible Gambling

888starz is committed to promoting responsible gambling practices among all users in Somalia and recognises that access to betting services carries an inherent risk of financial and psychological harm for some individuals. The platform operates on the principle that gambling should remain an activity conducted within personal limits, and it actively discourages the use of betting services as a source of income or a response to financial difficulties. Users who believe their gambling behaviour may be causing harm are encouraged to make use of the self-management tools available through their account settings. Deposit limits allow users to cap the amount they can fund their account with over a set period, and session time limits help users maintain awareness of the time they spend on the platform. Self-exclusion options are available for users who require a temporary or permanent break from gambling activity, and requests for self-exclusion are processed promptly by the support team. A self-assessment tool is also accessible through the responsible gambling section of the platform, helping users identify early signs of problematic gambling behaviour. The platform cooperates with recognised support organisations and encourages users to seek professional assistance if their gambling activity is no longer within their control.

  • Gambling Therapy (www.gamblingtherapy.org): an international service offering free online support for individuals affected by problem gambling;
  • Gamblers Anonymous: a peer support network available internationally, including access for Somali users through online meetings;
  • BeGambleAware (www.begambleaware.org): a resource providing guidance, tools, and referrals for individuals seeking help with gambling-related issues;
  • National Council on Problem Gambling (NCPG): an international advocacy and support body offering helpline access and educational resources;
  • GamCare (www.gamcare.org.uk): a provider of free information, support, and counselling for those affected by gambling harm.

Anti-Money Laundering

888starz maintains a strict Anti-Money Laundering policy in line with internationally recognised standards and is committed to preventing the use of its platform for money laundering, terrorism financing, or any other form of financial crime. All users in Somalia are required to complete identity verification as part of the registration process, and the platform may request additional documentation at any point during the account lifecycle to confirm the source of funds or verify account ownership. Transaction monitoring systems are in place to detect unusual or suspicious financial activity, and all flagged cases are reviewed by the compliance team in accordance with internal AML procedures. Users found to be engaged in activities that raise AML concerns may have their accounts restricted, their funds frozen, and their details reported to the relevant legal authorities without prior notice. The platform cooperates fully with regulatory bodies and law enforcement agencies in the investigation of suspected financial crimes, and no user account is exempt from compliance review. Repeated or deliberate attempts to circumvent AML controls will result in permanent account closure and may result in further legal action under applicable Somali and international law.

The types of information collected include, but are not limited to, full name, date of birth, contact details, payment information, and records of account activity and betting history. This information is used for the purposes of account management, identity verification, fraud prevention, customer support, legal compliance, and the improvement of platform services. Personal data is not sold to third parties, though it may be shared with regulated partners, payment processors, or legal authorities where required by law or by the platform’s compliance obligations.
