Responsible gambling

How do you keep gambling fun?

Gambling is entertainment, not a way to make money. These habits help keep it that way.

Who can gamble?

Only adults aged 18 or older. If you are under 18, please leave this site.

What habits help?

  • Decide on a budget before you play, and stop when it is gone.
  • Use spare cash only, never money meant for bills or essentials.
  • Set a time limit and take regular breaks.
  • Never chase losses by depositing more.
  • Do not play when you are upset, stressed or have been drinking.

What are the warning signs?

Time to step back if you notice you are spending beyond your plan, borrowing money to play, keeping your gambling secret from family or friends, or feeling restless whenever you are not playing.

Where can I get help?

Use the deposit limit and self-exclusion tools in your casino account, and reach out to a local problem gambling support service. South African players can also turn to the National Responsible Gambling Programme for free, private support.
