Responsible Gaming
Gambling Should Be Entertainment, Not Income
At Sabre Gen, we believe that online casino gaming should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only. Gambling is never a reliable way to earn money or solve financial problems. Always gamble within your means and never bet more than you can afford to lose.
Remember: The house always has a mathematical advantage. Games of chance are designed for entertainment, and outcomes are determined by random number generators.
Age Verification
In South Africa, you must be 18 years of age or older to participate in online gambling activities. We are committed to preventing underage gambling and protecting young people.
By accessing our website, you confirm that you are of legal age to gamble in your jurisdiction. We reserve the right to verify your age at any time.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you experience any of the following, you may be developing a gambling problem:
- Spending more time or money on gambling than intended
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover lost money
- Hiding gambling activities or lying to family and friends
- Using gambling to escape problems, stress, or negative emotions
- Borrowing money or going into debt to fund gambling
- Neglecting work, family, or personal responsibilities due to gambling
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when not gambling
- Unsuccessful attempts to cut back or stop gambling
- Risking important relationships or opportunities because of gambling
- Needing to gamble with increasing amounts for the same level of excitement
If you recognise any of these signs in yourself or someone you know, please seek help immediately.
Self-Help Tools & Controls
Most reputable online casinos offer tools to help you maintain control over your gambling:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific time period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Set a limit on the amount you are willing to lose over a given period
- Reality Checks: Receive periodic reminders of how long you have been playing and how much you have spent
- Time-Out/Cool-Off Period: Take a break from gambling for a set period without closing your account
- Self-Exclusion: Voluntarily exclude yourself from gambling for an extended period (typically 6 months to 5 years)
We encourage you to use these tools proactively, even if you feel your gambling is under control.
