As a gaming company, Buzzycash Nigeria is dedicated to promoting responsible gaming practices and providing a safe and enjoyable experience for all our users.
We have a clear knowledge and understanding of the main requirements for encouraging what have been identified as responsible gaming behaviours whilst addressing the high risks associated with the subject of excessive gaming
Key Aspects of Responsible Gaming on Buzzycash
Our strict and comprehensive gaming plans and ideas have been created to provide maximum support, raise awareness and not neglect key steps which must be adopted in the dangers associated with excessive gaming.
Here are the steps we have taken to ensure that our users understand the seriousness of excessive gambling:
1. Providing proper education and creating awareness: Providing the best education about responsible gaming practices is a key focus for us at Buzzycash Nigeria. We have focused our attention on making information on safe gaming habits, unmissable actions of questionable gaming behaviour and resources for seeking help through our website, social media channels, and in-app messages.
2. Setting up age verification and restrictions: We have a state-of-the-art age verification process in place to ensure that our games are only accessible to individuals of legal gaming age. Moreover, we implement age restrictions and parental controls to prevent minors from accessing age-inappropriate content.
3. Tools for self-exclusion: Our platform offers self-exclusion tools that enable users to voluntarily exclude themselves from using our platform for a specified period. This gives individuals the power to take control of their gaming habits and take a break if necessary.
4. Strict limits and control: Users can set limits on their gaming time, spending, and in-game purchases. These controls help individuals manage their gaming activities responsibly and prevent excessive engagement.
5. Support and Resources: We provide users with access to support services and resources if they are experiencing gaming-related issues. This includes links to helplines, counselling services, and online support groups where users can seek guidance and assistance.
6. Clear community guidelines: Buzzycash has created easy-to-understand and explainable community guidelines which are focused on highlighting gaming behaviours which will be tolerated on our platform and are acceptable to the regulatory bodies of our country and the world as a whole. These guidelines are applicable to all users of the platform.
7. Constant monitoring and improvement: We continually monitor gaming activity on our platform and analyze data to identify potential areas of concern. This enables us to proactively address emerging issues and improve our responsible gaming measures over time.
Potential excessive gaming risks
It is important to recognize that excessive gaming can lead to addiction and other negative consequences, although gaming can be a source of enjoyment and entertainment for many. Some potential risks associated with gaming include:
1. Addiction: Excessive gaming can lead to addiction, characterized by a loss of control over gaming behaviour, neglect of other responsibilities, and withdrawal symptoms when not gaming.
2. Physical Health Issues: Prolonged gaming sessions can contribute to physical health issues such as eye strain, repetitive strain injuries, and sedentary lifestyle-related conditions.
3. Mental Health Concerns: Excessive gaming may exacerbate mental health issues such as anxiety, depression, and social isolation, particularly if gaming becomes a coping mechanism for underlying stressors.
4. Social Implications: Over-engagement in gaming can impact social relationships, academic or work performance, and overall well-being, leading to conflicts and negative consequences in various areas of life.
In Buzzycash's way of fostering an environment that encourages responsible gaming habits, we have taken key steps which include raising awareness, providing the best support systems and implementing policies that ensure that we have a safe and conducive gaming environment for all.
