Responsible Gaming

Gambling Should Be Entertainment

We believe that gambling should only ever be viewed as a form of entertainment, similar to going to the movies or a sporting event. It should never be considered as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. The odds are always in favor of the house, and you should only gamble with money you can afford to lose.

Remember: If gambling is causing you distress or affecting your relationships, finances, or wellbeing, please seek help immediately.

Age Verification

You must be 18 years of age or older to engage in gambling activities in Australia. In some territories, the legal age may be higher. It is your responsibility to ensure you meet all local legal requirements before participating in any betting or gambling.

If you are under the legal gambling age, please do not gamble. We take the protection of minors seriously and encourage parents and guardians to monitor online activity.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

If you recognize any of the following warning signs in yourself or someone you know, it may indicate a problem with gambling:

• Chasing losses: Gambling more to try to recover money you've lost
• Hiding gambling: Concealing the amount of time or money spent gambling from family or friends
• Loss of control: Being unable to stick to set limits on time or money spent
• Gambling with money you can't afford to lose: Using rent, bills, or savings to gamble
• Neglecting responsibilities: Missing work, school, or family commitments due to gambling
• Increased tolerance: Needing to gamble larger amounts to achieve the same excitement
• Withdrawal symptoms: Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when not gambling
• Failed attempts to quit: Repeatedly trying and failing to stop or reduce gambling
• Financial problems: Borrowing money or accumulating debt to fund gambling
• Relationship strain: Arguments with family or friends about gambling habits

If any of these apply to you, it's important to reach out for support as soon as possible.

Self-Help Tools & Responsible Gambling Features

Most reputable betting sites offer tools to help you maintain control over your gambling. These include:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount of money you will deposit within a specific time period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
• Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount of money you're willing to lose before stopping play
• Reality Checks: Receive regular notifications about how long you've been gambling and how much you've wagered
• Time Limits: Set automatic session timeouts to encourage breaks from gambling
• Self-Exclusion: Voluntarily exclude yourself from gambling sites for a set period (from days to years)
• Account Closure: Permanently close your betting account if you wish to stop gambling

We strongly encourage you to use these tools if you feel your gambling may be becoming problematic.
