Responsible Gambling
At Bets-Betting.com, we’re dedicated to keeping betting safe and enjoyable for South African punters. Whether wagering on the Springboks or esports, gambling carries risks. Our guidelines and resources, aligned with South Africa’s National Gambling Act, help you stay in control.
Guidelines for Responsible Gambling
- Set a Budget: Decide a limit, like R500 for a Proteas match, and stick to it. Treat betting as entertainment, not income.
- Know the Risks: Understand odds and rules for bets, whether on rugby tries or cricket runs, to make informed choices.
- Take Breaks: Pause during long sessions, like a Test match, to avoid impulsive bets.
- Don’t Chase Losses: Lost a bet on the Stormers? Avoid increasing stakes to recover—it can lead to bigger losses.
- Limit Your Time: Track time spent betting to balance with work, family, or other priorities.
- Stay Sober: Avoid betting under the influence to maintain clear judgment.
Signs of Problem Gambling
If betting stops being fun or impacts your life, seek help. Watch for these signs:
- Spending more time or money than planned, like betting beyond your budget on PSL matches.
- Borrowing money or selling items to fund bets.
- Feeling anxious, secretive, or stressed about betting habits.
- Neglecting work, family, or hobbies due to gambling.
