3. FICA COMPLIANCE
JabulaBets is bound by the provisions of the Financial Intelligence Centre Act, Act 38 of 2001, as amended (“FICA”), which sets out requirements relating to customer identification and verification procedures, customer due diligence, transaction monitoring, record keeping, and related matters. These requirements are implemented to ensure that the betting services provided by licensed bookmakers such as JabulaBets are not unlawfully used for money laundering, terrorist financing, or other criminal activities.
Where FICA, its regulations, or any applicable regulatory instruments prescribe specific procedures and/or restrictions, JabulaBets shall operate in accordance with such requirements. Where FICA does not prescribe specific procedures and/or restrictions, JabulaBets may implement its own procedures and/or restrictions, subject to applicable legislation, to promote good corporate governance and responsible betting practices. Further information regarding FICA is available at www.fic.gov.za.
For the purposes of the online environment in which JabulaBets operates, JabulaBets is required to establish and verify the identity of all Customers before a betting account may lawfully be created.

- (iv) JabulaBets reserves the right to request updated SOF documentation at any time during the Customer’s relationship with JabulaBets and may suspend or terminate a betting account where satisfactory SOF documentation is not provided within the timeframe specified by JabulaBets.
By completing JabulaBets’s online betting account Registration Form, the Customer confirms and irrevocably consents that JabulaBets may conduct identification, credit, verification, screening, and security checks, including verification of the Customer’s source of funds, where required by applicable legislation, any regulatory authority, or the Regulator.
The Customer further consents that JabulaBets may provide identifying information and related particulars supplied by the Customer to third-party service providers, including identity verification agencies, screening agencies, cellular network providers, financial institutions, credit bureaux, and governmental or statutory bodies, where required for compliance, verification, or security purposes.
As part of its obligations under FICA, JabulaBets may require the Customer, during registration or at any time while the Customer holds a betting account, to provide copies of identification documents, proof of physical address, and proof of banking account details. Documents relating to proof of address and banking details must not be older than three (3) months. JabulaBets shall advise the Customer of the documents required.

JabulaBets shall, in its sole discretion, determine the markets, events, or contingencies on which betting may be offered.
JabulaBets may, from time to time, determine minimum and/or maximum amounts that may be staked on any market, whether generally or in a specific instance. The Customer shall be responsible for confirming, before placing a bet, whether any such minimum or maximum stake limits apply and the extent thereof.
JabulaBets may, from time to time, determine minimum and/or maximum amounts that a Customer may win or lose in respect of any bet, whether generally or in a specific instance.

JabulaBets may, in its sole discretion, offer Customers the opportunity to place bets during the course of an event (“in-running bets”).
The nature and extent of any spreads offered by JabulaBets shall be determined from time to time at the sole discretion of JabulaBets. The Customer shall be responsible for confirming the applicable spread before placing a bet.
5. PROCEDURE FOR PLACING BETS
The Customer shall place bets via the internet or through such other electronic platforms or media as may be made available by JabulaBets from time to time.
Irrespective of the Customer’s location or the origin of any electronic communication or signal used to place a bet, a betting transaction between JabulaBets and the Customer shall only become valid once the bet has been accepted by the server operated by JabulaBets. Until such acceptance, no communication received from the Customer shall be binding on JabulaBets, and all information displayed on the Site shall constitute an invitation to place a bet only. Where JabulaBets elects to waive any rule in the interests of fairness or for any other reason, such waiver shall apply only to the specific transaction concerned and shall not create any precedent for future transactions.
Any bet accepted by JabulaBets shall be deemed to have been placed at JabulaBets’s licensed bookmaker premises.
JabulaBets may, in its sole discretion, accept or reject any bet requested by the Customer, or any part thereof.
The Customer authorises and consents to all electronic or other communications relating to any bet placed being recorded by JabulaBets in such manner as JabulaBets considers appropriate. Such records may be retained for as long as JabulaBets considers necessary. The Customer acknowledges that JabulaBets is required by law to maintain certain records and that such records may be used for the investigation and resolution of disputes between JabulaBets and the Customer, or for any other lawful purpose.
The Customer shall be responsible for ensuring that each bet is correctly placed and accurately recorded by JabulaBets. JabulaBets shall confirm a bet where required by law or reasonably requested by the Customer.
JabulaBets shall accept bets during normal South African business hours and at such other times as JabulaBets may determine.
The Customer shall be responsible for ensuring that he/she is familiar with the rules applicable to the market in which the Customer intends to place a bet.
By placing a bet on any market, the Customer confirms acceptance of the applicable market rules published by JabulaBets and these Terms.
While JabulaBets shall endeavour to ensure the accuracy of prices, announcements, publication of information, event starting times, and results, JabulaBets does not accept responsibility for any errors or omissions that may occur. JabulaBets reserves the right to correct any such errors in such manner as it determines in its sole discretion. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Customer indemnifies and holds JabulaBets harmless against any losses, whether actual or potential and whether direct or indirect, arising from any such errors.
The time of acceptance of a bet shall be the time at which the bet is recorded on the wagering software operated by JabulaBets.
Any bets placed on outcomes that were already known at the time the bet was placed shall be voided and cancelled by JabulaBets.
Additional or new markets may be made available by JabulaBets from time to time. The Customer shall be responsible for reviewing and accepting the applicable market rules before placing any bets on such markets.
6. DEPOSITS/PAYMENTS BY THE CUSTOMER
Once a betting account has been established in the name of the Customer, the Customer may deposit funds into the betting account by:
- (i) logging into his/her account using the account number and secure password created and confirmed by the Customer during the registration process;
- (ii) selecting the “Deposit” function;
- (iii) selecting the method by which the deposit is to be made, including:
- (a) credit or debit card;
- (b) electronic funds transfer (EFT);
- (c) payment vouchers;
- (d) subject to clause 6.2, direct bank transfer into any banking account operated by JabulaBets and detailed on the website;
- (e) third-party e-wallet methods; and/or
- (f) any other deposit and/or account replenishment methods made available by JabulaBets from time to time.
Where deposits are made using the methods referred to in paragraphs (a), (b), or (e) above, the Customer shall provide the requested identifying information relating to the account, card, or payment method from which the deposit is made.
Where the Customer elects to make use of the Direct Bank Transfer option:
- (i) a minimum deposit amount of R50 shall apply. Where a Customer deposits less than R50 into any such banking account, the Customer may be required to make an additional deposit to cover the difference before the betting account is credited with the full value of the deposited funds;
- (ii) processing of such transfers may take between two (2) and three (3) business days;
- (iii) cash deposits shall only be accepted at the sole discretion of JabulaBets. Where accepted, JabulaBets may, at its discretion, recover part or all of the applicable bank charges from the Customer and shall credit the Customer’s betting account with the deposit amount after deduction of such charges;
- (iv) a minimum cash deposit amount of R100 shall apply. Should the Customer wish to query a transaction, the Customer may contact JabulaBets customer care channels at [email protected] and may be required to provide proof of payment reflecting:
- (a) the date of payment;
- (b) the amount deposited;
- (c) the reference number used; and
- (d) the betting account number into which the deposit was made.
In respect of deposits made by way of payment vouchers:
- (i) unless otherwise permitted by JabulaBets for good cause, the full value of the payment voucher must be wagered before any winnings may be withdrawn from the betting account; and
- (ii) payment vouchers may not be redeemed, refunded, or exchanged for cash at any time.
If deposits are made into a Customer’s account using a credit card, debit card, or electronic funds transfer method contemplated in clause 6.1(a) or 6.1(b), and it is identified that the name of the account holder or cardholder does not correspond with the name of the Customer, the deposited funds shall be returned to the relevant bank or payment provider and JabulaBets may suspend the Customer’s betting account. In such circumstances, JabulaBets may require the Customer to provide confirmation of banking details and documentary proof of identification. Based on the information provided, JabulaBets shall determine whether the betting account may be reactivated. If the Customer fails to provide the required confirmation, JabulaBets may terminate the betting account.
The Customer acknowledges and agrees that all deposits made into the betting account shall be held and applied as security for the payment of any amount that may become owing by the Customer to JabulaBets.
The Customer shall not place, or attempt to place, any bet where the amount of such bet, together with any other outstanding bets, exceeds the Customer’s available credit balance with JabulaBets. The available credit balance shall be the net amount deposited with JabulaBets after taking into account all applicable adjustments relating to taxes, winnings, and losses up to the time the bet is placed. The Customer shall be responsible for ensuring that sufficient funds are available before placing any bet.
If, due to a system malfunction or any other reason, JabulaBets accepts a bet exceeding the Customer’s available credit balance, JabulaBets may, at its discretion, before, during, or after the outcome of the relevant event or contingency:
- (i) honour the bet;
- (ii) refund the Customer’s stake without any winnings attached thereto; or
- (iii) limit the amount of the stake without notifying the Customer in order to ensure that the available credit balance is not exceeded.
Acceptance by JabulaBets of any bet exceeding the Customer’s available credit balance shall not constitute a waiver of JabulaBets’s rights to:
- (i) recover from the Customer all amounts, including losses, arising from such bet; or
- (ii) enforce applicable betting limits at any later stage.
JabulaBets shall debit the Customer’s betting account for all bets accepted by JabulaBets on an ongoing basis.
Credit card deposits may only be made by the cardholder whose name appears on the credit card, which name must correspond with the name under which the JabulaBets betting account is held.
The Customer may replenish any deposit made in terms of clause 6.1 at any time, subject to these Terms and any applicable verification requirements.
No interest shall accrue on any funds held in a betting account.
JabulaBets shall not provide any form of credit facility to any Customer.
7. WITHDRAWALS
JabulaBets shall credit the Customer’s betting account in respect of winnings and refunds accruing to the Customer as a result of bets placed, on an ongoing basis.
Amounts standing to the credit of the Customer’s betting account may be withdrawn through the JabulaBets platform by selecting the “Withdrawal” function on the website or mobile application. The Customer shall be required to complete the relevant fields with the identifying details of a South African-based bank account held in the Customer’s name into which payment is requested to be made (“the Nominated Account”).
No withdrawal request shall be processed where payment is requested to be made into a bank account held in the name of any person other than the Customer. For the avoidance of doubt:
- (i) settlements and/or payments relating to betting accounts shall only be made to the account holder and shall not, under any circumstances, be made to a third party;
- (ii) the Customer’s right to payment is not transferable to any other person; and
- (iii) if the Customer wishes to replace the Nominated Account with another bank account for payment purposes, such replacement shall only be permitted once the Customer has formally submitted a request to JabulaBets and JabulaBets has verified that the replacement account is a valid bank account held in the Customer’s name. The Customer may again be required to provide proof of the new account.
Withdrawals may require multiple transactions over a number of days due to limitations imposed by payment providers. Unless otherwise stated, a daily withdrawal limit of R50,000.00 per Customer shall apply.
Charges may apply in respect of withdrawals, and the Customer shall be informed of any applicable charges when submitting a withdrawal request.
The Customer shall be solely responsible for ensuring that all banking information provided in a withdrawal request is accurate. JabulaBets shall not be liable for any errors made by the Customer in this regard.
Upon receipt of a withdrawal request, JabulaBets reserves the right to:
- (i) conduct any investigation necessary to confirm that the amount requested by the Customer, after all required deductions and adjustments, is available for transfer from the Customer’s betting account to the Nominated Account;
- (ii) notify the Customer, in such manner as JabulaBets deems appropriate, if the requested amount is not available in the Customer’s betting account and decline the withdrawal request;
- (iii) where the requested amount is available and provided that the Customer has not been placed under fraud review, effect an electronic transfer of the requested amount within 72 hours of confirming availability of the funds. JabulaBets shall be deemed to have complied with this obligation once it has instructed its bankers to process the transfer, and the 72-hour period shall exclude any additional time required for the funds to reflect in the Customer’s Nominated Account; and
- (iv) immediately reduce the balance standing to the credit of the Customer’s JabulaBets betting account by the amount transferred.
Any withdrawal request submitted by a Customer may be withheld by JabulaBets pending payment by the Customer of any amounts owing to JabulaBets.
Before releasing any funds from the Customer’s betting account, JabulaBets may, at its discretion:
- (i) require the Customer to provide an official PDF bank statement issued directly by the Customer’s bank, covering a minimum period of three (3) consecutive months immediately preceding the withdrawal request. The statement must reflect the Customer’s full name, bank account number, bank name, and transaction history. Financial screenshots, including screenshots from mobile banking applications, online banking portals, or any other digital interface, shall not be accepted as proof of banking details or proof of funds;
- (ii) require the Customer to submit a valid form of identification by means of a live photograph captured in real time at the time of submission. Acceptable identification documents may include a valid South African Identity Document or Smart ID Card (front and back), passport, driver’s licence, valid work permit, or valid asylum seeker or refugee permit. Pre-existing scans, photographs, photocopies, or screenshots of identity documents shall not be accepted. Temporary or expired identity documents shall not be accepted under any circumstances. These verification procedures may result in a delay in processing the withdrawal. JabulaBets reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to determine which forms of identification are acceptable. Where a Customer has deposited funds via credit card or Instant EFT, or has requested payment to a credit card or cheque account, JabulaBets may request copies of both the front and back of the relevant card.
7.9A. Consequence of Non-Compliance with Document Requests
- (i) Where JabulaBets requests any document(s) from the Customer in terms of clause 7.9 in relation to a pending withdrawal, the Customer shall provide such document(s) in the manner and format specified by JabulaBets within three (3) business days from the date of the request (“the Compliance Period”).
- (ii) If the Customer fails to provide the requested document(s) within the Compliance Period, JabulaBets reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to:
- (a) reverse the pending withdrawal in full and return the relevant amount to the Customer’s betting account; and
- (b) require the Customer to submit a new withdrawal request, subject to the requirements of this clause 7 and the provision of the requested document(s) to JabulaBets’s satisfaction before any further withdrawal will be processed.
- (iii) A reversal performed in terms of this clause shall not constitute a waiver by JabulaBets of its right to request the same or additional documentation in respect of any future withdrawal request, nor shall it entitle the Customer to any compensation, interest, or other remedy relating to the reversed amount.
Before processing any withdrawal, JabulaBets reserves the right to review the Customer’s betting activity for any Prohibited Activity. For purposes of these Terms, Prohibited Activity shall include any activity or occurrence described in clause 12.1. Where Prohibited Activity is identified, JabulaBets reserves the right to withhold withdrawals and/or confiscate or recover winnings which it reasonably believes are connected to such Prohibited Activity.
If the value of a deposit has not been wagered in full at least once before a withdrawal request is submitted, JabulaBets reserves the right to refuse the withdrawal request until the required wagering has been completed.
To withdraw winnings exceeding R300 from a no-deposit offer, the Customer must first complete a successful deposit of R50.
Where funds are incorrectly credited to the Customer’s betting account:
- (i) the Customer shall notify JabulaBets of the error without delay;
- (ii) the Customer shall hold such amount in trust and shall not withdraw it from the betting account;
- (iii) JabulaBets shall be entitled to recover such amount from the Customer’s betting account or require repayment of such amount on demand; and
- (iv) unless otherwise notified by JabulaBets, any betting transactions entered into by the Customer after the error occurred shall be void.
Where a Customer requests the reversal of a withdrawal after such withdrawal has already been processed by JabulaBets, the following shall apply:
- (i) a reversal and/or administration fee of R25.00 per request shall be charged to the Customer;
- (ii) the Customer shall be informed of the applicable fee before any reversal is processed;
- (iii) no reversal shall be effected unless the Customer has expressly confirmed acceptance of the applicable fee;
- (iv) the fee is intended to cover operational and processing costs incurred by JabulaBets in facilitating the reversal; and
- (v) the Customer acknowledges that it is the Customer’s responsibility to ensure that all withdrawal details are accurate before submitting a withdrawal request.
8. RECOVERY OF AMOUNTS DUE TO JABULABETS
In the event that a debit balance arises on the Customer’s betting account as a result of JabulaBets accepting a bet exceeding the Customer’s available credit balance, the Customer shall, within three (3) business days of receiving written demand from JabulaBets, pay the outstanding amount to JabulaBets by either:
- (i) making a direct transfer of the relevant amount into a banking account operated by JabulaBets, in which event:
- (a) the Customer’s JabulaBets account number must be recorded on the deposit slip; and
- (b) the Customer must provide JabulaBets with a copy of the deposit slip; or

JabulaBets shall not:
- (i) be liable to the Customer under any circumstances where the Customer’s credit card provider or third-party payment provider refuses to honour any claim submitted by JabulaBets. No dispute between the Customer and the credit card provider or third-party payment provider shall release the Customer from any payment obligation owed to JabulaBets, and the Customer shall not be entitled to instruct JabulaBets to reverse any payment instruction already submitted to such provider;
- (ii) be responsible for:
- (a) any failure, malfunction, interruption, or delay of any electronic funds transfer facility, credit card processing system, or supporting or shared network arising from circumstances beyond JabulaBets’s control; or

- (iii) be liable for any loss or damage suffered by the Customer arising from unauthorised access to data or incorrect information supplied through an electronic funds transfer facility, credit card processing system, or any supporting or shared network.
JabulaBets shall be entitled to recover amounts from the Customer in circumstances including, but not limited to, where:
- (i) a debit balance arises on the Customer’s betting account due to the erroneous acceptance of a bet exceeding the applicable limit or available balance reflected on the Customer’s account;
- (ii) JabulaBets has incorrectly credited the Customer’s betting account due to an incorrect settlement of a bet and the Customer has used all or part of the incorrectly credited amount;
- (iii) JabulaBets has incorrectly allocated funds to the Customer’s betting account and the Customer has used all or part of such incorrectly allocated funds; or
- (iv) the Customer has placed a bet in breach of these Terms and the bet is subsequently adjusted, resulting in the Customer having used all or part of the adjusted balance and creating a negative account balance.
JabulaBets may, in its discretion, determine from time to time how payments made by the Customer shall be allocated against amounts owed by the Customer to JabulaBets.
Where bets have been placed using funds mistakenly credited to the Customer’s betting account, JabulaBets reserves the right to void such bets and shall not be liable for any losses suffered by the Customer as a result thereof.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in these Terms, JabulaBets shall be entitled to set off any amounts owed by the Customer against funds standing to the credit of the Customer’s betting account, or to realise any security held by JabulaBets and apply the proceeds towards payment of any amount due and payable by the Customer.
9. ADJUSTMENTS

15. BREACH
Should the Customer breach any provision of these Terms and fail to remedy such breach within forty-eight (48) hours after receiving written notice from JabulaBets requiring such remedy, JabulaBets shall, without prejudice to any other rights available to it at law, be entitled to terminate its contractual relationship with the Customer, terminate or suspend any bet placed by the Customer (whether accepted or not), and/or claim damages from the Customer.

Any bets placed or accepted in error in contravention of clauses 16.1 or 16.2 shall be declared void and cancelled.

JabulaBets reserves the right to void all bets associated with Syndicate Betting and withhold payment of winnings, whether temporarily or permanently, pending the completion and outcome of an investigation.
17. VOID BETS
JabulaBets reserves the right to declare any bet wholly or partially void where such bet:

- (ii) has been accepted in circumstances where such bet would not ordinarily have been accepted, including due to technical problems affecting the operation of the Website;
- (iii) has been placed as a result of, or in connection with, Syndicate Betting;
- (iv) relates to an event where the result was already known, unlawfully determined, or influenced by unlawful conduct;
- (v) relates to an event where a subsequent announcement significantly alters the prevailing odds applicable to such bet;

JabulaBets may declare a bet wholly or partially void where any malfunction occurs or is identified in relation to such bet.
For purposes of this clause, "malfunction" means any technical, operational, communication, electronic, or programming error, defect, fault, or failure, whether immediately detectable by JabulaBets or the Customer or not, occurring on the Website or in any device, hardware, equipment, betting system, software, programme, data file, or other content used by the Customer or provided by JabulaBets, which:
- (a) causes any game or product on which betting is offered to operate other than in accordance with the applicable published rules;
- (b) corrupts, suspends, or interrupts the normal or intended operation of any game or product; or
- (c) results in an outcome that is clearly inconsistent with the normal or intended operation of any game or product.
JabulaBets may void a bet at any time, irrespective of whether the relevant event has been settled or whether the Customer has received notification that such bet is a winning bet or that winnings are payable.
In the case of an invalid selection or subsequent scratching in a multiple or combination bet, the invalid selection shall be ignored and the stake shall continue on the remaining selection(s) at the price reflected on the ticket or betting slip issued.
JabulaBets reserves the right to withhold payment and/or declare bets void where there is sufficient evidence that:
- (i) the integrity of the event has been compromised;
- (ii) prices or pools have been manipulated; or
- (iii) match-rigging, fixing, or similar activity has occurred or the event is under investigation due to allegations of such activity.
Where a bet or selection is declared void, the stake shall be returned to the Customer, unless JabulaBets reasonably believes that the Customer:
- (a) had knowledge of, but failed to disclose, the circumstances leading to the voiding of the bet;
- (b) could reasonably have been expected to have knowledge of, but failed to disclose, such circumstances; or
- (c) was directly or indirectly involved in, contributed to, or caused the circumstances resulting in the bet being declared void.

18. BETTING AND PAYOUT LIMITS
JabulaBets reserves the right to limit the net payout applicable to any single bet or combination of bets placed by a Customer, regardless of the number of bets, markets, or events involved. Such limits may vary depending on the sport, league, game, event, and type of bet offered.

19. ERROR
JabulaBets reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to adjust, limit, cancel, or reject any bet which has been accepted as a result of an error.
Where an official correction is made in respect of an incorrectly transmitted price, all bets placed at the incorrect price shall be settled at the corrected price.
Where odds relating to a bet or event have been incorrectly stated due to:
- (i) a system or computer malfunction; or
- (ii) any other error where the stated odds are clearly inconsistent with the prevailing market odds,
the bet shall be deemed to have been placed at the correct price available in the broader market at the time the bet was placed, and all winning bets shall be settled accordingly.
20. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
To the fullest extent permitted by law, JabulaBets’s liability to the Customer for any damages arising from any cause whatsoever, including negligence by JabulaBets or its employees, agents, or contractors, shall be limited as follows:
- (i) in relation to damages arising from a bet, to the amount staked by the Customer on that bet; or
- (ii) in relation to the Customer’s betting account, to the credit balance of such account at the time the alleged damages occurred, after adjustment for winnings, losses, and taxes.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, JabulaBets shall not be liable for any loss of profits, winnings, potential profits, potential winnings, indirect damages, or consequential damages suffered by the Customer, whether caused by negligence or otherwise.
Where any obligations of JabulaBets are performed by its employees, agents, contractors, associates, or subsidiaries, the limitations contained in clauses 20.1 and 20.2 shall apply equally to such parties.
JabulaBets shall not be liable where the Customer is unable to place a bet due to congestion, interference, or failure of telephone lines, telephone systems, exchanges, or other electronic communication channels used for betting.
Any event beyond JabulaBets’s reasonable control, including acts of God, war, strikes, labour disputes, fire, flood, explosion, legislative changes, power failures, telecommunications failures, hardware or software failures, theft, epidemics, pandemics, or similar events, shall entitle JabulaBets to delay or suspend performance of its obligations without liability for any resulting damages.
The Customer acknowledges that use of JabulaBets’s Services is undertaken at the Customer’s own risk and responsibility. Unless expressly stated otherwise, the Website, Services, and all content provided through the Website are supplied on an "as-is" basis.

- (i) any failure, malfunction, or delay of electronic funds transfer systems, credit card processing systems, or supporting networks beyond JabulaBets’s control;
- (ii) any damages, losses, or expenses suffered by the Customer as a result thereof; or
- (iii) any loss or damage resulting from unauthorised access to data or incorrect information supplied through electronic payment systems or related networks.
The Customer indemnifies JabulaBets, its employees, officers, directors, affiliates, and associated persons or organisations against all costs, expenses, liabilities, and damages arising from any legal or other proceedings connected with the Customer’s interactions with JabulaBets or its representatives, including proceedings relating to the alleged unlawfulness of interactive or online gambling within any jurisdiction in which the Customer is located.
21. DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION AND PRIVACY
The Customer consents to JabulaBets conducting checks against appropriate third-party databases to verify the Customer’s identity, personal details, credit card information, and/or any other information supplied by the Customer where JabulaBets considers independent verification necessary. Any third parties engaged by JabulaBets for verification purposes may retain records of data requests and information submitted to them by JabulaBets.
The Customer acknowledges that JabulaBets may be required by law, and shall where applicable, disclose information relating to the Customer’s identity, personal particulars, betting account, and account activity to governmental bodies, regulatory authorities, or other competent authorities.
JabulaBets complies with all applicable privacy legislation. Customers are required to read JabulaBets’s Privacy Policy in full, which forms part of these Terms. If the Customer does not accept any part of the Privacy Policy, the Customer should discontinue use of the Website and Services.
22. DISPUTES
In the event of a dispute between a Customer and JabulaBets relating to JabulaBets’s liability to pay alleged winnings, and where such dispute cannot be resolved between the parties, the dispute may be referred to the Western Cape Gambling and Racing Board ("the Board") for resolution.
JabulaBets shall inform the Customer that the dispute will be referred to the Board and shall refer the dispute to the Board within forty-eight (48) hours after providing such notification.
The Customer may, however, independently refer a patron dispute to the Board for resolution.
The Board shall investigate the dispute, determine the outcome, and communicate its decision to the parties.
Should either JabulaBets or the Customer be dissatisfied with the Board’s determination, such party may petition the Board to conduct a hearing to reconsider the decision.
The Board shall conduct such hearing and determine whether the original resolution should be confirmed, set aside, or amended.
The right to refer a dispute to the Board shall not limit or replace any party’s right to have the dispute determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.
The parties consent to the jurisdiction of the Magistrate’s Court in terms of section 45 of the Magistrate’s Court Act, 1994 (or any legislation replacing such Act), in respect of proceedings arising from or incidental to this Agreement, provided that either party may elect to institute proceedings in any division of the High Court having jurisdiction.

Self-Exclusion shall take effect once confirmed by JabulaBets.
23.2. Letter of Commitment — Mandatory Requirement for Returning after SE or Cooling-Off
A Customer who has previously been subject to Self-Exclusion or a Cooling-Off Period and wishes to resume betting must, before account reactivation, submit a signed Letter of Commitment ("Letter of Control") to JabulaBets.

JabulaBets reserves the right to refuse reactivation of an account notwithstanding submission of a Letter of Commitment where JabulaBets considers such refusal appropriate in the circumstances.
23.3. Cooling-Off Period
- (i) A Cooling-Off Period is a temporary restriction on betting activity which may be applied to a Customer’s account.

23.4. Imposed Self-Exclusion
JabulaBets reserves the right to impose Self-Exclusion on a Customer’s account without the Customer’s request where JabulaBets reasonably determines that the Customer presents a responsible gambling concern.
Grounds for such concern may include:
- (a) betting patterns consistent with problem gambling;
- (b) information provided by the Customer or a third party indicating a possible gambling problem;
- (c) a determination by the Risk Department following a responsible gambling review; or
- (d) any other circumstances where JabulaBets considers Self-Exclusion appropriate in the interests of responsible gambling.
An imposed Self-Exclusion shall take effect immediately upon notification to the Customer by email or SMS using the contact details registered on the Customer’s account.
A Customer subject to imposed Self-Exclusion may not request reactivation until JabulaBets determines, in its sole discretion, that the relevant concerns have been resolved and the requirements of clauses 23.2 and 23.3 have been satisfied.
23.5. Responsible Gambling Support
Customers who believe they may have a gambling problem are encouraged to complete the National Responsible Gambling Programme ("NRGP") Online Checklist to assess their vulnerability to gambling addiction. Professional assistance may assist in managing the impact of problem gambling.
The NRGP may be contacted via its Toll-Free Counselling Line at 0800 006 008 or by email at [email protected] for confidential counselling and support.
