Responsible Gaming
Introduction
Online gaming should be enjoyed as entertainment only. It is not a reliable way to earn money or solve financial problems. Gambling involves risk, and you should only gamble with money you can afford to lose. Please play responsibly and within your means.
Age Verification
Online gambling in Australia is restricted to individuals aged 18 years and over. If you are under 18, you must not access gambling services. We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of age at any time.
By accessing this site, you confirm that you are 18 years of age or older.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you experience any of the following, you may be developing a problem with gambling:
- Chasing losses by gambling more to win back money you've lost
- Gambling with money intended for bills, rent, or essential expenses
- Hiding your gambling activities or lying to family and friends about how much you gamble
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when not gambling
- Needing to gamble with increasing amounts of money to achieve the same excitement
- Repeatedly trying to cut down or stop gambling without success
- Neglecting work, study, or personal relationships due to gambling
- Borrowing money or going into debt to fund gambling
- Experiencing mood swings related to gambling wins and losses
- Feeling that gambling is your only way to relieve stress or escape problems
If you recognize yourself in any of these signs, please seek help immediately.
Self-Help Tools & Resources
Most online gambling platforms offer built-in tools to help you stay in control:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount of money you can deposit within a specified timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you are willing to lose during a gaming session
- Time Limits: Set reminders or automatic session timeouts to help manage your playing time
- Reality Checks: Enable regular notifications during play to remind you of how long you've been playing and how much you've wagered
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from gambling services if you feel you cannot control your behavior
We encourage you to use these tools proactively. You can also contact your chosen gambling provider to implement these restrictions at any time.
