RESPONSIBLE GAMBLING

Responsible Gambling

Disclaimer: Gambling involves financial risk and can lead to addiction. Please gamble responsibly. ScoreBet supports responsible gambling as defined by the National Responsible Gambling Programme. If gambling negatively affects your life or the lives of others, stop and seek help immediately. You must be 18 years or older to open an account or place bets. For free, confidential support, call 0800 006 008 or visit responsiblegambling.org.za.

Responsible gambling means making informed decisions about how, when, and how much you gamble — staying in control at all times. It means gambling as a form of leisure, not a way to make money or escape problems. Responsible players set time and money limits, recognize the signs of problem gambling, and never gamble under stress, influence, or pressure. At ScoreBet, we are committed to helping all players stay safe, informed, and supported every step of the way.

No Underage Gambling

No person under the age of 18 may register or gamble on ScoreBet. We use strict age verification during registration, including South African ID validation. Access is denied until a player completes full Know Your Customer (KYC) checks, which include:

  • A valid South African ID document
  • Proof of income

Only after verification can a user deposit, place bets, or withdraw funds.
