Warning signs

Chasing losses with bigger or more frequent bets.
Betting with money meant for rent, food, school fees or transport.
Borrowing money, or hiding your betting from family and friends.
Feeling anxious, irritable or low when you cannot bet.
Betting to escape stress rather than for enjoyment.

Practical safer-betting habits

Set a monthly budget you can genuinely afford to lose, and stop when it's gone.
Use the deposit limits, time-outs and self-exclusion tools in your account.
Never bet under the influence of alcohol or while very upset.
Take regular breaks and keep other hobbies going.
Treat wins as luck, not skill — and never as a plan to make money.

Strictly 18+

Nobody under 18 may register with a bookmaker or bet in South Africa. If you share a device with children, use parental controls and keep your login details private. DM7 does not knowingly market to minors.
