Responsible Gaming at Lukki South Africa
Gambling should remain an entertainment activity, not a source of financial distress or personal harm. Lukki South Africa provides tools and resources to help players maintain control over their gambling behavior. We partner with the South African Responsible Gambling Foundation to offer support services for individuals experiencing gambling-related difficulties.
Self-Management Tools
Deposit Limits
Set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit caps through your account settings. Limits activate immediately and can only be increased after a 72-hour cooling period. Reductions take effect instantly.
Session Time Alerts
Configure reminders that notify you after specific playing durations. Alerts appear every 30, 60, or 120 minutes based on your preferences, prompting breaks from gambling activities.
Self-Exclusion
Voluntarily ban yourself from the platform for 6 months, 1 year, or permanently. Contact support to initiate exclusion—the process becomes irrevocable once confirmed and applies across all devices.
Reality Checks
Activate pop-up displays showing your total wagered amounts, session duration, and account balance at regular intervals. These reminders help maintain awareness during extended play sessions.
Recognizing Problem Gambling
Problem gambling develops when betting activities interfere with personal, financial, or professional responsibilities. Warning indicators include spending more money than budgeted, chasing losses by placing larger bets, borrowing funds to gamble, neglecting work or family obligations, and experiencing anxiety about gambling outcomes. If you recognize these patterns in your behavior, seek assistance immediately.
The South African Responsible Gambling Foundation operates a free confidential helpline at 0800 006 008, available 24 hours daily. Professional counselors provide assessment, support, and referrals for face-to-face treatment. Email support is accessible at helpline@responsiblegambling.org.za for non-urgent inquiries.
