Responsible Gaming
Gambling Should Be Entertainment
We believe that gambling should only ever be viewed as a form of entertainment, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. If you find yourself gambling to make money or recover losses, it's important to reassess your relationship with gambling and seek support.
Betting sites should be enjoyed responsibly and within your means. Never gamble with money you cannot afford to lose.
Age Verification
In Australia, you must be 18 years of age or older to legally participate in gambling activities. All users must verify their age before accessing betting services.
If you are under 18, please do not attempt to create an account or place bets. If you suspect a minor is gambling, please report it to the relevant authorities.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Do you recognise any of the following warning signs in your own gambling behaviour?
- Chasing Losses: Trying to recover lost money by gambling more
- Hiding Gambling: Concealing the amount of time or money spent gambling from family and friends
- Loss of Control: Unable to stick to spending limits or stop when you want to
- Neglecting Responsibilities: Gambling is affecting work, school, or family commitments
- Mood Changes: Becoming irritable or anxious when unable to gamble
- Increasing Stakes: Needing to gamble larger amounts to get the same feeling of excitement
- Financial Problems: Borrowing money, using credit, or going into debt to fund gambling
- Relationship Issues: Arguments with loved ones about your gambling
- Using Gambling to Escape: Turning to gambling to cope with stress, anxiety, depression, or other problems
If you recognise these signs, help is available.
Self-Help Tools & Controls
Most responsible betting sites offer the following tools to help you gamble safely:
Deposit Limits
Set a maximum amount of money you're willing to deposit within a specific timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly). Once this limit is reached, you cannot deposit more until the period resets.
Loss Limits
Set a maximum amount you're willing to lose. Once you've lost this amount, your account will be temporarily restricted from further betting.
Reality Checks
Enable reminders that pop up during your gambling session to inform you how long you've been playing and how much you've spent.
Self-Exclusion
Temporarily or permanently block yourself from accessing your betting account. This is a powerful tool for taking a break or stopping altogether.
We strongly encourage you to use these tools as part of responsible gambling practice.
