Terms of Use

1. Who we are and what these terms cover

ClubPlay is operated by Club Play (Pty) Ltd (registration 2026/646575/07), a South African company. In these terms, “ClubPlay”, “we”, “us” and “our” mean Club Play (Pty) Ltd. “Site” means clubplay.co.za. “Content” includes our reviews, ratings, comparisons, guides, bonus and licensing information, and any tool on the site.

By accessing or using clubplay.co.za, you agree to these terms, taking effect from the date you first use the site. If you don't agree with them in full, please stop using the site immediately. We may update these terms as described in section 12.

Questions about these terms can be sent to hello@clubplay.co.za or via our Contact page.

2. Our role as a comparison and information site

ClubPlay publishes reviews, ratings, comparisons and general information about licensed South African bookmakers. We don't accept or place bets, match wagers, operate gambling accounts, hold player deposits, process stakes or withdrawals, or settle betting disputes. All actual betting happens on the operator's own site once you leave clubplay.co.za.

A rating or review is a published editorial opinion, not a contract or a guarantee of any outcome. Our content isn't tailored to your finances, experience or personal circumstances, and isn't investment, financial, legal or tax advice. Using the site doesn't create a personal advisory relationship between you and us.

An affiliate link, advertisement or commercial relationship described in section 6 doesn't make us a party to your agreement with a bookmaker. We have no authority to promise an operator's acceptance of a bet, payment of winnings, or release of funds.

3. Age, location and eligibility

ClubPlay's betting-related content is intended only for people aged 18 or older. You must not use it to participate in unlawful gambling or to get around an operator's age, location or self-exclusion controls.

A listing on ClubPlay doesn't establish that a gambling service is lawful or available where you are. The operator's licensing, eligibility requirements and the gambling law that applies to you govern whether you may participate, it's your responsibility to confirm this before signing up. This doesn't remove any legal obligation that applies to us in how we publish and describe operators.

4. Our reviews and ratings

Reviews and ratings are opinions based on the information and methodology available at the time of publication, see our Testing Methodology. A favourable rating doesn't guarantee that an operator will suit you, that its terms won't change, or that you'll have a good experience with it.

We research bonus terms, licensing and features from public sources and correct listings when we identify an error, see our Editorial Policy, but bookmakers change their offers and terms without notice. Always confirm the current offer and terms directly on the operator's own site before signing up or depositing. Publishing a review doesn't create an ongoing obligation for us to monitor that operator or notify you of every later change.

5. Independent operators and other third parties

ClubPlay links to bookmakers and other third-party services. These are operated independently and have their own terms, privacy notices and eligibility rules. We don't control, and aren't responsible for, the content, terms or conduct of any third-party site you visit from ClubPlay.

We don't guarantee an operator's solvency, continued licensing, security, account decisions, or payment of funds. A listing or review isn't insurance or confirmation that an operator is suitable for you. An operator is responsible for its own deposits, withdrawals, account restrictions, verification, bet acceptance, settlement and complaints, a dispute about those matters should go to the operator directly, this doesn't restrict a complaint about our own conduct under section 9.

6. Commercial relationships

We may receive affiliate commission or advertising fees from some operators, see How We Make Money and our Affiliate Disclosure. These relationships help fund the site and can determine whether an operator's “Visit Site” link is a live, tracked affiliate link, and whether that operator appears in a sponsored placement such as a featured banner. They do not determine an operator's rating, ranking, or “Editor's Choice” status, which are set under our Editorial Policy independently of any commercial arrangement.

7. Using the site: acceptable use and copyright

You may access ClubPlay for personal, non-commercial use: view pages on screen, print individual pages for your own reference, and save pages locally to your own device. You must not reproduce, republish or commercially exploit our content, store it on any server or system connected to a network, scrape or systematically extract it, or attempt to interfere with the site's normal operation.

The ClubPlay name, logo and original written content belong to Club Play (Pty) Ltd. Bookmaker names, logos and trademarks shown on ClubPlay belong to their respective owners and are used only to identify and describe them. You must not misrepresent our authorship, remove attribution, or imply our endorsement of another service.

Ordinary indexing and retrieval of our public pages by search engines and AI assistants is permitted, subject to our published technical access rules (see robots.txt and llms.txt). This doesn't grant a general licence to republish substantial content, resell our data, or reconstruct our listings as a competing database, contact us for permission for any commercial reuse beyond what the law allows.

8. Site availability and changes

We may update, add to or discontinue content and features for operational, editorial, legal or security reasons. We don't promise uninterrupted availability, error-free operation, or continuing coverage of every operator.

9. Liability and allocation of risk

9.1 Rights that remain protected. Nothing in these terms excludes or limits: liability for death or personal injury caused by our act or omission; liability for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; any right or remedy that can't lawfully be excluded under the Consumer Protection Act 68 of 2008; any right or remedy that can't lawfully be excluded under the Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA); or any other liability whose exclusion would be unlawful under South African law. These protections take priority over every other part of this section.

9.2 Betting losses. We don't undertake to reimburse stakes or betting losses, pay winnings, or compensate you because a rating, review or comparison didn't lead to a good outcome. Subject to section 9.1, and to the fullest extent the law permits, we exclude liability for loss of stakes, gambling losses, expected winnings, and losses resulting from your decision to bet with an operator listed on ClubPlay.

9.3 Other excluded losses. Subject to section 9.1, and only where a lawful exclusion is available, we exclude liability arising from: errors, omissions or delays in our ratings, reviews, bonus information or listings; the independent acts or omissions of a bookmaker, including non-payment, account restrictions or insolvency; and changes, distortions or omissions introduced by an independent website, search engine or AI assistant summarising our content.

9.4 Consumers. If you use ClubPlay as a consumer, we don't exclude a remedy for loss caused by our own breach where that exclusion would be unlawful or unfair under South African law, and we don't require you to give up a statutory right or accept a shortened limitation period.

9.5 Business users. If you use ClubPlay for a trade, profession or business, then subject to section 9.1, we exclude liability to the fullest extent permitted for loss of profit, revenue, business, contracts, goodwill or data, and for indirect or consequential loss.

10. Corrections and complaints

If you spot an error or want to raise a complaint, contact us at hello@clubplay.co.za with the relevant page and issue. Contacting us isn't a precondition to exercising a legal right, these terms don't shorten any period in which you may bring a claim or stop you contacting a court or regulator. We don't adjudicate disputes between you and an independent bookmaker and can't direct an operator to pay or release funds.

11. Privacy

Our Privacy Policy explains how we handle personal information under POPIA. Nothing in these terms transfers our data-protection responsibilities to you or to an independent operator.

12. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms to reflect changes to the site, our business, or applicable legal requirements, and will update the date at the top of this page when we do. Changes apply from the date they're posted, continued use of ClubPlay after that means you accept the updated terms.

13. Governing law and jurisdiction

These terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of South Africa. If you use ClubPlay as a consumer, this doesn't deprive you of any mandatory protection of the law of your own country of residence where that law applies. Disputes are subject to the jurisdiction of the South African courts, subject to any mandatory rule that says otherwise.

14. General provisions

If a provision of these terms is unlawful or unenforceable, it won't bind you to that extent, the remaining provisions continue to apply. A delay in enforcing a right isn't a waiver of it. Nothing on ClubPlay creates a guarantee of betting success or gives anyone authority to act on behalf of a bookmaker.
