Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
Online gaming should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. If you find yourself viewing gaming as income or a solution to financial difficulties, it may be time to reassess your relationship with gambling.
Please gamble responsibly and within your means. Set strict limits on time and money spent, and always prioritize your financial security and wellbeing.
Age Verification
Online gaming is strictly reserved for individuals aged 18 years and over in Australia, or the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction. By accessing this site, you confirm that you meet the minimum legal age requirement.
If you are under the legal age for gambling in your area, please do not participate in any gaming activities.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop without you realizing it. Please be aware of these warning signs:
- Chasing losses by gambling more money to recover what you've lost
- Spending more time and money on gaming than intended
- Hiding your gambling activities from family or friends
- Neglecting work, school, or family responsibilities due to gaming
- Borrowing money to fund gaming activities
- Experiencing anxiety, depression, or irritability related to gambling
- Feeling unable to control your gaming habits
- Lying about the amount of time or money spent gambling
- Using gaming to escape problems or negative emotions
- Experiencing relationship conflicts due to your gambling behavior
If you recognize any of these signs in your own behavior, please seek help immediately.
Self-Help Tools & Resources
Most gaming platforms offer built-in tools to help you maintain control:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specified time period
- Loss Limits: Restrict the maximum amount you are willing to lose
- Reality Checks: Receive periodic reminders about how long you've been gaming and money spent
- Time-Out: Take a temporary break from your account for a set period
- Self-Exclusion: Voluntarily exclude yourself from your account for an extended period
We encourage you to use these tools proactively. If you're struggling, there's no shame in using self-exclusion or seeking external support.
