At Goldrush Durban, we believe gambling should be a fun and enjoyable form of entertainment. To ensure a responsible gaming experience, it’s essential to set personal limits on both time and money before playing. Gambling should always be a leisure activity, not a financial solution or a way to escape problems. By following these key principles, you can maintain a healthy and responsible approach to gaming:
- Set a fixed budget for gambling and never exceed it.
- Never chase losses, as this can lead to financial strain.
- Keep track of how frequently and for how long you gamble.
- Take regular breaks, even when you’re on a winning streak.
- Recognize that gambling is based on luck, and there is no guaranteed strategy for success.
- Ensure gambling remains a recreational activity and does not interfere with daily responsibilities.

MORE ON THE SELF-EXCLUSION PROCEDURE
If you feel that gambling is affecting your well-being and need assistance in limiting access to your gaming account, Goldrush Durban offers self-exclusion options. If you wish to take a break or permanently exclude yourself from gambling activities, please contact [email protected].
Goldrush provides the following self-exclusion measures:
- Temporary Suspension – A minimum 7-day lock on your account.
- Self-Exclusion – A minimum exclusion period of one month.
- Permanent Self-Exclusion – Full account closure with no future access.
To request any of these options, send an email with your NAME, SURNAME, ID NUMBER, and the DESIRED EXCLUSION PERIOD along with a copy of your South African ID Book for verification.
Note: Your account will not automatically reactivate once your exclusion period ends. You will need to request reactivation, and it will not occur before the specified period is over. In the case of permanent self-exclusion, your account will be closed, and any remaining balance will be refunded. If you wish to reinstate your account, you must follow the upliftment process outlined by the SARGF.
