Daily Digest | South Africans gambling beyond their means - how to stop

According to JustMoney’s large-scale survey, Money & Me, gambling is seen as a viable income-stretching option by those who can least afford it. Given a range of choices for making their money go further, 3% of survey respondents chose online gambling over a popular cost-cutting option. Those taking home less than R5,000 a month are four times more likely to choose online gambling, with men twice as likely as women to opt for this. Mpho Mashita and Jones Netshipise talk to Sarah Nicholson, Head of Customer Experience at JustMoney, for Responsible Gambling Month about the findings of this study and what they say about gambling in South Africa and how one can fight the urge.
