Responsible Gaming

At Sportingbet we believe in providing a 'protected entertainment environment'. It is an important part of our overall customer care programme.

Gambling in a protected environment should be an exciting and pleasurable experience, for adults. We want you to enjoy the Sportingbet experience, so please play wisely and within your budget.

Staying in Control

The majority of our customers enjoy the Sportingbet entertainment experience.

Whilst the majority of people do gamble within their means, for some gambling can become a problem.

It may help you to keep control to remember the following:

1. Gambling should be entertaining and not seen as a way of making money
2. Avoid chasing losses
3. Only gamble what you can afford to lose
4. Keep track of the time and amount you spend gambling
5. If you want to have a break from gambling you can use our self exclusion option by emailing us at TeamSA@sportingbet.com with details of all the accounts you have opened with us. Sportingbet will then close your account(s) for a period of 6 months, during which time it will not be possible for the account(s) to be re-opened for any reason.

Occasionally individuals may be concerned about their gambling habits. For those who are concerned please contact the National Responsible Gambling Program, or call the counselling line on: 0800 006 008

Self-exclusion or Opt-out

To use our self exclusion option, email us at TeamSA@sportingbet.com with details of all the accounts you have opened with us.
