🚨 Gambling is devastating middle and lower-income homes in South Africa.
Lower-income households (R8,000–R15,000/month) are spending up to 40% of their gross income on gambling — compared to just 1-2% for higher earners. That’s R4,000+ from a R10,000 salary diverted from food, rent, school fees, and electricity.
Problem gambling has skyrocketed to 31%, with many in these income groups betting specifically to "pay household expenses" or "manage debt."
Families are breaking under the pressure: debt piles up, savings disappear, and kids go without while the house of cards crumbles.
This isn’t entertainment — it’s a poverty trap hitting the hardest those who can least afford it.
If gambling is hurting your home or someone you know, reach out for help. Stop the cycle. 💔

You absolutely can request a cool-off directly with any casino, for free. But we all know how it goes — the moment you log in on the casino platform to find the cool-off buttons temptation starts landing and you end up playing instead. We give you a no-temptation alternative: you tell us which casinos and for how long, and we handle the requests so you don't have to log in.

Take a real break from online casinos — without the pressure. At Stop Gambling SA we help you activate a Cool-Off Period on your online casino accounts, so you can step away when you need to. Stop Gambling SA is an independent service and is NOT affiliated with any casino or regulatory or support body. We do one specific thing: on your request, we contact online casinos on your behalf to ask them to apply a Cool-Off Period to your account.
What a Cool-Off Period is: It's a simple, flexible tool offered by online casinos that temporarily locks your account for a period you choose. No bets. No access. It's ideal when you want a real break but aren't ready for anything permanent.

Cool-Off vs Self-Exclusion — an important distinction. Self-Exclusion is a formal, national process. It legally blocks you from all casinos, online and land-based in South Africa for a longer period (minimum of 6 months). It is serious and binding and requires a counsellor's sign off before it is uplifted. We do not assist with Self-Exclusion.
Cool-Off Period (what we help with) keeps you in full control. You choose which online casinos to lock, and for how long. No pressure. No incentives. Your decision, your timeline. If you just need space to breathe and regain control of your online play, we're here to make that easier. Start your Cool-Off today: https://t.co/Fu8QoGKtkH
@LiebenbergCarl Thanks for the support Carl. Online gambling can become a serious problem for families and we believe this is a responsible tool to take a break and avoid a habit forming.
