Responsible Gaming
Gambling Should Be Entertainment, Not Income
We're committed to promoting responsible gambling practices. Betting should only ever be viewed as a form of entertainment, similar to going to the movies or playing sports. It should never be considered a way to earn money or solve financial problems.
If you gamble, please do so within your means and only with money you can afford to lose.
Age Verification
In Australia, you must be at least 18 years of age to gamble legally. If you are under 18, you are not permitted to use any betting services. We take age verification seriously and comply with all Australian gambling laws and regulations.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognise any of the following signs in yourself or someone you know, help is available:
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- Hiding gambling activity or lying about the amount of money spent
- Gambling with money needed for essential expenses (rent, food, bills)
- Unable to stop or reduce gambling despite wanting to
- Neglecting family, work, or other important responsibilities due to gambling
- Experiencing mood swings related to gambling wins and losses
- Using gambling as a way to escape stress, anxiety, or other problems
- Borrowing money to gamble or to pay gambling debts
- Friends or family expressing concern about your gambling habits
- Feeling anxious or irritable when not gambling
Self-Help Tools and Limits
Responsible betting sites offer tools to help you maintain control of your gambling:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount of money you're willing to deposit within a specified timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Establish a maximum amount you're prepared to lose before stopping play
- Reality Checks: Enable reminders that pop up during gaming sessions to make you aware of how long you've been playing and how much you've spent
- Time Limits: Set session time limits to prevent extended gambling periods
- Self-Exclusion: Voluntarily exclude yourself from gambling platforms for a period of time if you feel you're losing control
- Account Closure: Permanently close your betting account if needed
We encourage you to use these tools proactively to enjoy gambling responsibly.
