At Goldrush Groblersdal, we believe gambling should be a recreational activity enjoyed in a balanced and informed way. Our commitment is to ensure that every guest who walks through our doors feels supported, respected, and empowered to play responsibly.
Finding Balance While You Play
Responsible gambling is about knowing your limits — both financially and emotionally. It means:
- Making a plan before you start playing
- Never spending more than you can afford to lose
- Understanding that wins and losses are part of the experience
- Not letting gambling affect your relationships or responsibilities
We encourage every player to treat gambling as a part-time activity, not a full-time pursuit.
Warning Signs to Watch For
At Goldrush Groblersdal, we care about your wellbeing. Be aware of the early signs of problematic gambling, such as:
- Feeling stressed or restless when not gambling
- Gambling more often or with larger bets to feel the same excitement
- Borrowing money or using funds meant for essentials to gamble
- Hiding your gambling from loved ones
Recognizing the problem is the first step toward regaining control.
Help Is Always Available
We support the National Responsible Gambling Programme (NRGP) and encourage anyone feeling overwhelmed to reach out. Trained professionals are available 24/7 at the toll-free helpline 0800 006 008, offering confidential support, advice, and treatment referrals.
Playing With Purpose
Responsible play starts with good habits. Here are a few to consider:
- Set a time limit before you start — and stick to it
- Take breaks between sessions to clear your head
- View gambling as entertainment, not income
- Avoid playing when emotional, tired, or under the influence
