Gambling Should Be Fun, Not Harmful

At Sure Bet Africa, we promote responsible gambling and want to ensure that betting remains an enjoyable activity for all our users.

What is Responsible Gambling?

Responsible gambling means betting in a way that is safe, controlled, and doesn't cause harm to yourself or others. It involves:

  • Setting and sticking to betting limits
  • Only betting what you can afford to lose
  • Taking regular breaks from gambling
  • Not chasing losses
  • Keeping gambling as entertainment, not a source of income
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Be aware of these red flags:

  • Spending more money than you can afford
  • Neglecting work, family, or other responsibilities
  • Lying about gambling activities
  • Borrowing money to gamble
  • Feeling anxious or depressed about gambling
  • Needing to gamble with larger amounts
Self-Exclusion and Limits

Most reputable bookmakers offer tools to help you stay in control:

  • Deposit Limits: Set maximum amounts you can deposit daily, weekly, or monthly
  • Loss Limits: Stop gambling when you reach a certain loss threshold
  • Time Limits: Restrict how long you can spend on gambling sites
  • Self-Exclusion: Take a break from gambling for a set period
  • Reality Checks: Regular reminders of how long you've been gambling
Tips for Responsible Betting
  • Set a budget before you start betting
  • Never bet under the influence of alcohol or drugs
  • Don't gamble when you're upset or stressed
  • Keep track of your betting activity
