Responsible Gambling

Gambling should be entertainment, never a way to make money or escape problems. If it stops being fun, it is time to step back.

Warning signs

Chasing losses, gambling more than you can afford, borrowing to play, or hiding your gambling from family are all signals to seek help.

Get help in South Africa

The South African Responsible Gambling Foundation runs a free, confidential helpline on 0800 006 008, available 24/7. They offer counselling and treatment referrals at no cost.

Tools that help

Every licensed casino offers deposit limits, loss limits, time-outs and self-exclusion. Use them proactively — set your limits before you play, not after.
