Responsible gambling

The basics

Betting is for people aged 18 and over and can be addictive.

  • Set a budget and a time limit before you bet.
  • Never chase your losses.
  • Do not bet when stressed, tired or under the influence of alcohol.
  • Use the operator’s tools: deposit limits, time-outs and self-exclusion.

Where to get help

In South Africa, the South African Responsible Gambling Foundation offers counselling and support if you feel you are losing control of your betting.
