Responsible Gaming
Gambling Should Be Entertainment, Not Income
Betting and casino games are forms of entertainment designed for enjoyment and fun. They should never be viewed as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. The house always has a mathematical advantage, and outcomes are determined by chance. Please gamble responsibly and only with money you can afford to lose.
Age Verification
Gambling is only legal for persons aged 18 years and over in Australia. We are committed to preventing underage gambling. If you are under 18, please do not use any betting services on this website. Parents and guardians are encouraged to monitor young people's online activities and discuss the risks of gambling.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you experience any of the following signs, you may be developing a gambling problem:
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- Hiding gambling activities or lying about the amount spent
- Gambling with money needed for essential expenses (rent, food, bills)
- Spending more time or money on gambling than intended
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when not gambling
- Failed attempts to cut down or stop gambling
- Using gambling to escape problems or negative feelings
- Borrowing money to gamble or pay gambling debts
- Neglecting work, family, or personal relationships due to gambling
- Experiencing financial difficulties directly caused by gambling
If you recognise any of these signs in yourself or someone you know, please reach out for support immediately.
Self-Help Tools & Controls
Most reputable betting sites offer the following responsible gambling tools to help you maintain control:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specified time period (daily, weekly, monthly)
- Loss Limits: Cap the amount of money you can lose during a set timeframe
- Reality Checks: Receive pop-up reminders during your gaming session showing how long you've been playing and how much you've spent
- Session Time Limits: Automatically log you out after a predetermined period of play
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from betting sites, preventing access to your account
- Account Closure: Request permanent closure of your account if you wish to stop gambling entirely
We encourage you to use these tools proactively as part of your responsible gambling approach.
