Struggling with problem gambling in SA? You're not alone. According to the NRGP, over 2.5 million South Africans are at risk of problem gambling. Our free tool helps you self-exclude from major SA betting sites like Hollywoodbets, Betway, and more—all through one simple form.
Self-exclusion is a free tool regulated by the National Gambling Board of South Africa. When you self-exclude, betting operators are legally required under the National Gambling Act to block your access to their platforms for your chosen period.
Block access to multiple SA betting sites at once, including online and retail betting shops.
Protected by SA gambling laws - operators must honour your self-exclusion request or face penalties.
No cost to you, and your information is protected under the POPI Act.
The NRGP reports that 1 in 10 South Africans are at risk of developing a gambling problem. Common warning signs include:
Under SA gambling regulations, self-exclusion is a legal right that allows you to ban yourself from betting platforms. Once activated, operators must block your access to both online betting and physical betting shops.
According to SA gambling laws, operators must return your account balance to your registered bank account. However, any pending bets may be voided, and winnings from bets placed after requesting exclusion won't be paid out.
Yes, you can collect legitimate winnings from bets placed before your self-exclusion. Contact the NRGP on 0800 006 008 if you need help claiming your winnings during self-exclusion.
No, self-exclusion doesn't affect your credit score or TransUnion record. It's a private arrangement between you and betting operators, protected under SA privacy laws.
