Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
Gambling should only ever be viewed as a form of entertainment, never as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Only gamble with money you can afford to lose, and always set strict limits before you start playing.
Age Verification
All gambling activities are restricted to individuals aged 18 years or older in Australia. It is your responsibility to ensure you meet the legal age requirement in your jurisdiction. If you are under the legal gambling age, please do not use any betting services.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognise any of the following warning signs in yourself or someone you know, it may indicate a gambling problem:
- Chasing losses by gambling more to try to recover lost money
- Gambling for longer periods or with larger amounts than originally planned
- Hiding gambling activities or lying about the amount of money spent
- Experiencing mood swings or irritability when unable to gamble
- Neglecting family, work, or other important responsibilities
- Borrowing money or going into debt to fund gambling
- Feeling anxious, stressed, or depressed when not gambling
- Unsuccessful attempts to reduce or control gambling
- Using gambling to escape from problems or negative emotions
- Losing significant relationships, educational opportunities, or job prospects due to gambling
Self-Help Tools & Features
Most responsible betting sites offer tools to help you maintain control:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specified time period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Cap the amount you're willing to lose over a set time frame
- Betting Limits: Restrict the size of individual bets you can place
- Reality Checks: Receive notifications at regular intervals reminding you how long you've been gambling
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently block yourself from accessing gambling services
- Account Closure: Permanently close your account if you wish to stop gambling entirely
We encourage you to use these tools proactively to maintain healthy gambling habits.
