Gaming is for People, Not Just Players.
At AGOK, we believe that a sustainable industry is built on the safety of its citizens. Our initiatives aren't just rules—they are promises to the families and communities of Kenya.

Advertising Code
Marketing in the gaming sector carries a significant social weight. We have established a strict code of conduct that all licensed operators must follow to prevent the glamorization of gambling as a "get-rich-quick" scheme.
The "18+" Mandate
Every advert—digital, print, or broadcast—must feature prominent age-restriction signage and a responsible gaming message.
Content Restrictions
No advert shall portray gambling as a solution to financial hardship or as a source of guaranteed income.
Radio/TV Guardrails
We enforce "watershed" hours, ensuring that gaming advertisements are not aired during times when children are most likely to be watching or listening.
Digital Gating
Utilizing advanced algorithms to ensure digital ads are only served to verified adult audiences on social media and web platforms.
No Influencer Overreach
Strict guidelines on influencers to ensure they do not market specifically to impressionable or younger demographics.
Honesty in Messaging
Operators must provide clear information about the odds of winning, avoiding any language that implies a "sure bet."
Player Protection Toolkit
We equip players with the technology and support needed to maintain total control of their experience.
National Self-Exclusion
Our most powerful tool. If a player feels they need a break, the National Self-Exclusion Registry allows them to opt-out of all licensed platforms in Kenya simultaneously. This "one-click" safety net is mandatory for all AGOK members.
Deposit & Loss Limits
Mandatory tools that allow players to set daily, weekly, or monthly financial boundaries before they start their session.
Reality Checks
Automated alerts that notify you of time spent and current balance during active play.
The Human Safeguard
Technology alone isn't enough. We provide mandatory quarterly training for operator staff to identify behavioral red flags and offer support before a habit becomes a problem.
Recognizing the Signs
Part of safer gambling is self-awareness. If you recognize any of the following behaviors in yourself or a loved one, it may be time to use our protection tools:
Chasing losses to 'get back' what was lost.
Gambling with money needed for rent, food, or bills.
Hiding the extent of your gambling from family.
Feeling irritable or restless when not playing.
Borrowing money to fund gaming activities.
You're Not Alone.
