In South Africa, you must be at least 18 years old to participate in gambling. Please confirm you are of legal age before proceeding.
Treat betting as entertainment, not a source of income. Set clear limits in ZAR on both time and spend, and only wager what you can afford to lose. If gambling stops being fun or feels out of control, take a break and seek help. For free, confidential support 24/7 contact the South African Responsible Gambling Foundation (SARGF) Helpline at 0800 006 008 or email [email protected]. Self-exclusion is available through your operator and provincial authority. See our Responsible Gambling section and responsiblegambling.org.za for guidance and tools.
Bet only with operators licensed in South Africa by the relevant Provincial Licensing Authorities (e.g., Western Cape Gambling and Racing Board), under national oversight by the National Gambling Board. Using offshore sites that are not licensed in South Africa may be unlawful and offers no local consumer protection. Note that “interactive online casino” gambling is unlawful in South Africa, and recent court decisions have further limited bookmaker offerings that mimic casino games; availability of such products can change as regulations evolve. Taxes and levies primarily apply to licensed operators; players should be aware that legal obligations can vary by circumstances.
