Responsible gambling

If gambling is hurting you, or you are worried about someone else, phone 0800 006 008. That is the National Responsible Gambling Programme, the line this site also calls SARGF.

This site is for adults. Do not use it, or the casinos it links to, if you are under 18. Gbets prints the same helpline on its own pages.

Set a rand amount you can lose before you open a cashier, and stop when it is gone. A coupon increases the amount you have to stake, which can increase the amount you lose while you try to clear it. If you cannot leave the session, use the time-out or self-exclusion tool on the operator's site. Gbets publishes terms for both.

This page does not say that opening an online casino account is legal for you, and it does not say that it is illegal. The operator's terms and your own situation decide that. Nothing here is a legal opinion.

What the helpline is for

0800 006 008 is a counselling line, not a payments desk. This site cannot reverse a deposit, freeze a casino account, or see your balance. For a missing credit, use the casino's support. For harm from the gambling itself, use the helpline.
