LottoStar sets a new standard in responsible betting
In a groundbreaking move for the betting industry, LottoStar has become the first betting company in South Africa to offer independent professional counselling services to its players. This sets a new benchmark for responsible betting. This initiative not only raises the standard for ethical betting, it also reflects LottoStar's commitment to putting players' wellbeing at the forefront of its operations. By integrating qualified counsellors into its support ecosystem, LottoStar is ensuring that help is accessible and stigma-free. In an industry often defined by thrills and risk, LottoStar is redefining what it means to bet responsibly, placing mental health, emotional wellbeing and ethical betting practices at the core of its brand.

A promise to our players that we care just as much about their wellbeing as we do about the games they love,' says a LottoStar spokesperson. A first in South Africa While many platforms offer basic self-exclusion tools or refer players to third-party helplines, LottoStar has taken the step of integrating in-house, professionally qualified counsellors into its platform.
