RootBet

Responsible gambling

Betting should be entertainment, never a way to make money or escape problems. RootBet only features bookmakers licensed in South Africa, and every licensed bookmaker must give you the tools below.

Set limits

Set daily, weekly or monthly deposit limits in your bookmaker account before you start.

Take a break

Ask your bookmaker to pause your account when you need time away.

Self-exclude

Block yourself from betting with a bookmaker. You can also apply to be added to the national register of excluded persons.

Reality checks

Keep track of how long you've been betting and what you've spent. Stop when you planned to.

Warning signs

Free, confidential help

The National Responsible Gambling Programme offers free counselling and treatment across South Africa.
