Responsible gambling is the practice of betting responsibly while maintaining control over time and money spent.In South Africa, gambling activities are regulated under national and provincial legislation overseen by the National Gambling Board.Licensed betting operators must:

• Verify age (18+ only)

Recognising early warning signs is important. These may include:

• Chasing losses  
• Betting more than you can afford  
• Borrowing money to gamble  
• Hiding gambling activity  
• Feeling stress or anxiety related to betting  

If gambling becomes financially or emotionally harmful, it is important to seek support.

Smart betting starts with planning.We recommend:✔ Setting a fixed monthly gambling budget ✔ Using deposit limits ✔ Setting time limits ✔ Avoiding “chasing” behaviour ✔ Never gambling with borrowed moneyBetting should be treated as entertainment — not income.
