    Safe Gambling Guidelines

    Set a budget: Decide how much you can afford to lose before you start playing. Never exceed this amount.

    Set time limits: Decide how long you'll play and stick to it. Use Springbok's session timer feature.

    Don't chase losses: Losing is part of gambling. Accept losses and walk away. Chasing losses leads to bigger losses.

    Don't gamble under the influence: Alcohol and drugs impair judgment and lead to poor decisions.

    Take breaks: Step away regularly. Go for a walk, have a meal, or do something else enjoyable.

    Keep perspective: Gambling is entertainment with a cost, like going to a movie. The house always has an edge.

    Protect minors: Never allow anyone under 18 to gamble. Use parental controls and keep login details secure.

    Underage Gambling Prevention

    Springbok Casino strictly prohibits gambling by anyone under 18 years old. This is enforced through:

    • Age verification during registration (DOB required)
    • KYC document checks before first withdrawal (ID required)
    • Account closure if underage gambling is detected

    Parents: Use internet filtering software (Net Nanny, Qustodio, Norton Family) to block gambling sites. Keep your Springbok login credentials secure and never share them.
