Responsible Gaming

Gaming Should Be Entertainment

Online gaming should always be viewed as a form of entertainment, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. While gaming can be fun and exciting, it's important to understand that the odds are always in favor of the house. Please gamble only with money you can afford to lose, and never view gaming as an investment or income source.

Age Verification & Legal Requirements

You must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal age in your jurisdiction) to participate in online gaming activities. By accessing gaming platforms, you confirm that you meet the minimum legal age requirement in Australia. If you are under the legal age, please do not participate in gaming.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Be aware of these common warning signs that may indicate a gambling problem:

• Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money you've lost
• Hiding your gambling activities or lying about the time and money spent
• Gambling with money needed for essentials like bills, rent, or food
• Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when trying to cut back or stop
• Neglecting work, study, family, or social responsibilities due to gaming
• Borrowing money to fund gaming activities
• Unable to stick to a budget or spending limit
• Experiencing mood changes or using gaming to escape problems
• Continuing to gamble despite negative consequences

If you recognize any of these signs in your behavior, please reach out for support immediately.

Self-Help Tools & Controls

Most responsible gaming operators provide tools to help you maintain control:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly)
• Loss Limits: Establish a cap on the amount you're willing to lose
• Reality Checks: Enable reminders that appear during gaming sessions to help you track time and spending
• Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from gaming accounts and platforms
• Session Time Limits: Set automatic limits on how long you can play in one session
• Account Cooling-Off Periods: Take breaks from gaming for a predetermined time

We encourage you to use these tools to maintain responsible gaming habits.
