Our aim is to ensure that every player, in South Africa can enjoy their gaming experience without encountering any difficulties or negative outcomes.

Tips for Staying in Control

When participating in gambling activities it's important to strike a balance to ensure it remains a pastime. Here are some essential tips for African players:

View Gambling as Entertainment: See gambling as a way to unwind and have fun rather than just focusing on winning money.
Avoid Chasing Losses: Resist the urge to immediately try to recoup lost funds as this can lead to financial troubles.
Keep Track of Time and Spending: Monitor how time and money you spend on gambling.
Acknowledge the Role of Luck: Understand that luck plays a part in gambling outcomes due to the unpredictability of number generation.
Understand Game Rules: Make sure you're familiar, with the rules of the game. Engage in playing because you enjoy it.

Self-Assessment: Are You at Risk?

Some studies indicate that certain individuals may not be aware of their gambling problem. To assist African players in gaining insight into their mindset 1Win suggests they respond to a series of inquiries:

Have you been gradually increasing your betting amounts?
Have you attempted to manage your gaming behaviors without success?
Do you borrow money from family or friends for gambling purposes?
Has your reputation suffered as a result of your gambling tendencies?
Do you feel highly distressed when facing losses?
Do you frequently attempt to recover losses?

If you answered affirmatively to any of these queries it might be advisable to seek assistance.
