Get help
South African support you can call today
NRGP toll-free helpline
0800 006 008 — free, confidential counselling from the National Responsible Gambling Programme, available around the clock.
SMS counselling
Send the word "help" to 076 675 0710 and a counsellor will call you back.
Self-exclusion
You can ask to be excluded from betting platforms and venues. Contact the operator's support team or your provincial gambling board to start the process.
Account tools
Deposit limits, time-outs and reality checks are available inside your betting account settings. Set them before you need them.
The rules we'd give a friend
- Only bet money you can afford to lose completely.
- Set a budget before you deposit and stop when it's gone.
- Never borrow money, use rent money, or bet to fix a financial problem.
- Don't chase losses. Increasing stakes after a bad run makes it worse.
- Take regular breaks and keep other hobbies in your week.
- Never gamble while drinking, upset, or trying to escape stress.
Warning signs to take seriously
- Betting more than you planned, more often than you planned.
- Hiding your betting from family or friends.
- Borrowing money or selling things to fund a bet.
- Feeling anxious, irritable or low when you cannot bet.
- Missing work, studies or family time because of gambling.
- Believing a big win will solve your money problems.
If two or more of these sound familiar, call the NRGP on 0800 006 008. It is free and confidential, and asking early is far easier than digging out of a hole later.
Strictly 18+
No person under the age of 18 may gamble in South Africa. If you share a device with children, use parental control software and never save your betting login on a shared phone or computer.
Blocking gambling on your devices
Filtering software can block betting sites across your phone and computer. Combining a blocker with a self-exclusion request is far more effective than either on its own, because it removes the option in the moment when willpower is weakest.
