At Goldrush Phalaborwa, we pride ourselves on offering entertainment that is safe, enjoyable, and built on trust. Responsible gambling is not just a policy — it’s part of our culture. We’re here to make sure that every guest enjoys gaming as a positive, controlled experience.
What Does Responsible Gambling Mean?
Responsible gambling means:
- Playing for fun, not for financial recovery
- Setting personal time and money limits
- Staying aware of your behaviour while you play
- Taking breaks to keep a clear mind
It’s all about enjoying the game without letting it interfere with your everyday life.
How to Spot a Problem
Sometimes it’s hard to see when play starts becoming something more serious. Warning signs include:
- Spending more time or money than planned
- Feeling regret or distress after gaming
- Withdrawing from friends or family due to gambling
- Borrowing money or neglecting responsibilities to keep playing
Acknowledging the signs early makes it easier to take control.
