From 1 July to 31 July, every Saturday(2nd,3rd & last Saturday) players stand a chance to win a share of over R1 million in prizes, simply by enjoying their favourite games on the Electronic Bingo Terminals (EBTs). These sleek, easy-to-use machines — already a local favourite — now carry even more weight, with every R50 played counting as an entry into weekly draws and the grand finale.

Locals and visitors alike are stepping onto the floor — not just for the chance to win, but for the experience. Pensioners, working professionals, and tourists are all finding common ground here, linked by a shared sense of possibility.

While people once came here solely for spa days and serene bushveld views, they’re now also gathering for an experience that blends adrenaline, possibility, and real-world prizes, the Cash Rush promotion. And just like the town’s famous hot springs, it’s drawing more and more locals and visitors into its orbit.

The concept is elegantly simple and highly engaging. Play on the venue’s Electronic Bingo Terminals (EBTs) and you’re automatically entered into a draw for a variety of cash prizes. The result is a familiar, fast-paced game experience with an added touch of local character.

Each spin carries more than just a shot at instant wins, it’s an entry into a system that has already changed lives across the country. And here in Bela Bela, the effect has been immediate, higher foot traffic, more social buzz, and a growing chorus of stories about players who came in for a bit of fun and left with a windfall.

This is a promotion with universal appeal, pensioners stop by in the afternoons for a relaxed game and a cup of tea, younger professionals pop in after work or before dinner and weekends see an influx of tourists blending leisure with curiosity. What ties them all together is that every player stands a real chance.

It’s inclusive and it’s easy to understand, and most of all, it’s anchored in fun. The EBT interface is simple and welcoming, and staff are always nearby to help.

Real Stories, Real Winners

The heart of Cash Rush lies in its live weekly draws, hosted right on the gaming floor. These aren’t just announcements — they’re events. The room quiets. The tension rises. And when the winner’s name is read out, the cheer says it all.

Among the most memorable winners so far:

• A local hospitality worker walked away with R18,000, helping her move her family closer to essential schools and services.

• A retired grandfather scored R25,000 and used it to treat his grandchildren and make home upgrades.

• A young entrepreneur reinvested her winnings into her small sewing business, creating opportunities not just for herself, but for others.

These aren’t distant success stories. These are real Bela Bela locals, people you’ll recognise from the petrol station, the post office, or the market.

These aren’t distant success stories, they’re real people from the Bela Bela area, often bumping into well-wishers at the corner café or hardware store.

A big part of what makes this venue work so well is the team behind it. Many staff are locally hired, and they bring warmth, professionalism, and insight to every interaction. Whether guiding a new player through their first game or helping with draw entries, they’re always on hand — and always engaged.

Goldrush doesn’t just operate in Bela Bela; it participates in the community. The venue actively supports local initiatives, sources goods locally, and has become a trusted name beyond the gaming floor.
