20Bet Responsible Gaming

The objective of responsible gambling is to control your betting habits. That way, wagering on games and sports stays enjoyable and doesn’t become a problem. One way to keep it fun is by seeing gambling as a form of fun and never as a means of earning an income.

While as someone who bets, you can have personal rules for controlling your betting, 20Bet makes things easier by offering these tools:

• Loss Limits: Lets you decide the maximum amount that you can lose in a gaming session. The limit prevents losing more than you can deal with.
• Deposit Limits: For controlling how much you add to your account daily, weekly, or monthly. At 20Bet, this tool works for all fiat payment methods.
• Wager Limits: With this option, you can control your stakes on each casino game or sports bet. It works together with the deposit-limit setting to prevent overspending.
• Self-Exclusion: For when you need time away from gambling to handle other day-to-day activities. This tool helps ensure that you don’t play games or wager on sports for longer than is necessary.

Using these tools is straightforward. Simply reach out to the 20Bet customer support team through live chat. Inform the agent about what limits you want to apply, and they’ll help you get it done.

Spotting the early signs of gambling issues is crucial for dealing with them. These problems develop gradually, and if identified on time, it’s easier to prevent matters from getting worse.

Here are some of the warning signs:

• Spending more money or time on gambling than planned.
• Hiding your betting from family or friends.
• Feeling anxious, irritable, or guilty after gambling.
• Borrowing money or using credit to gamble.
• Ignoring your work, studies, or other duties to gamble.
• Hoping for a big win to fix your financial problems.

If you’re dealing with any of these, it’s time to take a step back. You can start by reaching out to the 20Bet support team to request a time break or self-exclusion. Additionally, you can seek professional help.

Not everyone can handle a gambling problem on their own. So, if you’re struggling, the best move is to contact professionals for help. On the 20Bet app or site, you’ll find links to the following safe gambling organisations, any of which would be more than happy to help:

• Gamblers Anonymous
• GamCare
• Gambling Therapy

South Africa also has some local organisations and programmes for those struggling with a gambling problem. These include the National Responsible Gambling Programme (NRGP) — which offers a 24/7 helpline — and the South African Responsible Gambling Foundation (SARGF) — which also provides free counselling and other resources.
