Complaints about a bookmaker

We are an information publisher, not a dispute resolution service. We cannot mediate between you and a bookmaker. If you have an unresolved dispute with a licensed South African bookmaker, your escalation routes are:

Step 1: Bookmaker internal complaints process

All licensed operators must have a formal complaints process. Use the bookmaker's live chat, email support or phone to raise a formal complaint. Request a complaint reference number. The bookmaker must respond within a reasonable time frame under their licence obligations.

Step 2: Provincial gambling board

If the bookmaker does not resolve your complaint satisfactorily, escalate to the provincial gambling board that issued their licence. Each board has a complaints or consumer protection function. Contact details are available on each board's website.
