Responsible Gambling Guide

    Gambling should always be entertainment — never a way to make money. The house always has an edge. Here's how to keep it fun and safe.

    Gambling is Entertainment, Not Income

    The Aviator game has a 97% RTP, which means a 3% house edge. Over time, the mathematics work against every player. This isn't a flaw — it's how gambling works.

    Think of your gambling budget the same way you think about cinema tickets or a night out. It's money spent on entertainment, not an investment.

    Signs of Problem Gambling

    If you recognise any of these signs in yourself or someone you know, seek help:

    Betting more than you can afford to lose
    Chasing losses — increasing bets to recover money
    Lying to family or friends about gambling habits
    Neglecting work, studies, or responsibilities
    Borrowing money to gamble
    Feeling anxious, depressed, or irritable about gambling
    Unable to stop even when you want to
    Gambling as a way to escape problems

    Setting Limits

    Deposit Limits

    Set daily, weekly, and monthly deposit limits on your betting account. Hollywoodbets and other SA operators offer this feature.

    Time Limits

    Set session time limits. Take a break every 30 minutes. Use phone timers as reminders.

    Self-Exclusion

    If you need to stop, use the self-exclusion feature to temporarily or permanently block your account.

    Cooling-Off Periods

    Take a break for a day, week, or month. Distance from gambling helps reset your mindset.
