Exclude yourself without stepping foot back into a place of temptation
Gambling harm doesn’t just affect individuals—it impacts families, communities, and the economy. But now, taking control has never been easier. With the right support, players can self-exclude from casinos, both land-based and online, without stepping foot into a place of temptation.
At Free Me South Africa (FMSA), we act as your trusted intermediary, guiding and acting on your behalf to ensure your self-exclusion request is implemented swiftly and accurately.
Understanding the Regulatory Landscape
Self-exclusion falls under the oversight of South Africa’s National Gambling Board (NGB), which is responsible for setting and maintaining national standards, ensuring safe gambling practices, and regulating industry compliance.
In addition, each of the 9 Provincial Gambling Boards (PGBs) operates under slightly different legislation and rules. This historically made self-exclusion confusing and time-consuming, requiring individuals to navigate multiple offices and regulatory requirements.
Now, It’s as Easy as 1–2–3
With FMSA’s support, the process is simple, confidential, and effective:
- Contact FMSA – Reach out via email at exclusions@freemesouthafrica.co.za and provide your instruction to self-exclude.
- We Act on Your Behalf – FMSA coordinates directly with the NGB and relevant PGBs, ensuring your self-exclusion is implemented across all applicable platforms, including online and land-based casinos.
- Confirmation & Support – You receive confirmation of your self-exclusion, along with ongoing support to maintain your boundaries and safeguard your financial well-being.
No more navigating multiple offices or exposing yourself to temptation—the process is secure, professional, and tailored to your needs.
Why Self-Exclusion Matters
Every individual who self-excludes helps protect not only themselves but also the economy. By removing funds that would otherwise be lost to gambling, a minimum of R200 per person stays circulating in the economy, supporting households and communities.
FMSA ensures that each self-exclusion is handled with precision, safeguarding your privacy while maximising the impact on your financial stability. We bridge the gap between the individual and the regulatory system, simplifying what used to be a complex process.
