Put everyday expenses out of reach
Set aside money for essentials before considering a casino deposit. Choose a time to finish as well as an amount. If you've reached either limit, that's enough reason to end the session.
GAMBLING / SUPPORT
You can stop before the balance runs out
You don't owe a bonus another round. If playing is starting to worry you, close the game and give yourself room to decide what happens next.
Ask for controls you can actually use
Contact casino support about deposit limits, time limits, cooling-off options or self-exclusion. If you want to stop, say that clearly. Consider blocking gambling access on devices you use when the urge returns.
Notice what happens between sessions
Are you hiding your spending or thinking about borrowing to play again? Take those feelings seriously and tell a person you trust what’s happening. Help is worth seeking now, whatever the size of the loss.
Talk to someone about the pressure
For gambling support, call 0800 006 008. You can also visit gamblingtherapy.org or responsiblegambling.org.za. If there's immediate danger, contact emergency services rather than waiting for a website reply.
Keep children away from gambling accounts
Casino offers are for adults, 18+. Keep your login and payment details private, especially on shared devices. Use device restrictions where they're available and don't leave an active casino session open for someone else.
