BravoBet Responsible Gambling
BravoBet provides responsible-gambling tools to help customers manage their betting activity, including Time-Out and Self-Exclusion. Customers are encouraged to set personal spending limits, avoid chasing losses and treat gambling as entertainment rather than a way to earn money.
Customers who need a temporary break can activate Time-Out through their account profile. For longer-term restrictions, BravoBet offers voluntary self-exclusion for periods ranging from one month to permanent exclusion. Requests must be emailed from the customer's registered email address to exclusions@bravobet.co.za, with identity verification documents and the requested exclusion period.
Self-exclusion requests are processed during business hours and are not applied immediately. BravoBet therefore advises customers to activate Time-Out while their request is being processed. Once self-exclusion takes effect, account access, deposits, betting and promotional communications are restricted.
Customers concerned about their gambling can contact BravoBet through live chat or support@bravobet.co.za.
