Responsible Gaming

Gaming Should Be Entertainment

Online betting should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. It's important to approach gambling with realistic expectations and to only wager what you can afford to lose.

Remember: the house always has an edge, and losing is always a possibility. Set strict limits before you start playing and stick to them.

Age Verification

Online betting in Australia is strictly regulated and only permitted for individuals aged 18 years and over. We take underage gambling prevention seriously and verify all users meet this legal requirement.

If you are under 18, please do not attempt to register or place bets. Underage gambling is illegal and can cause serious harm.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can develop gradually. If you recognise any of the following signs in yourself or someone you know, it may be time to seek help:

• Chasing losses by gambling more money to try to recover what was lost
• Spending more time or money on gambling than intended
• Hiding gambling activity or lying about how much time or money is spent
• Gambling to escape problems, stress, anxiety, or depression
• Borrowing money or going into debt to fund gambling
• Neglecting family, work, or other responsibilities due to gambling
• Experiencing mood swings or irritability when unable to gamble
• Unsuccessfully attempting to cut back or stop gambling
• Risking important relationships or opportunities due to gambling
• Feeling a need to bet more to achieve the same level of excitement

Self-Help Tools & Responsible Gaming Features

Most reputable online betting platforms offer tools to help you stay in control:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit in a specific timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly)
• Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to lose within a set period
• Betting Limits: Restrict the amount you can wager on individual bets
• Reality Checks: Enable notifications during gaming sessions to remind you of how long you've been playing
• Time-Out/Cool-Off Periods: Take a break from betting for a set period (hours, days, or weeks)
• Self-Exclusion: Voluntarily exclude yourself from a betting account for an extended period

Use these tools proactively to maintain control over your gambling activity.
