Responsible Gaming

Keep Gambling as Entertainment

Gambling should always be a form of entertainment, not a way to earn money or solve financial problems. The odds are designed so that the house has an advantage, and losses are a normal part of play. Never gamble with money you cannot afford to lose, and never chase losses in an attempt to win back what you have spent.

Age Verification

You must be at least 18 years old, or meet the minimum legal gambling age in your state or territory within Australia, to access any gambling services mentioned on this website. Underage gambling is illegal and harmful. We encourage parents and guardians to use parental control software and monitor online activity to prevent minors from accessing gambling sites.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can develop gradually. Ask yourself if any of the following statements feel true for you:

• Chasing losses by returning to gamble again soon after losing money.
• Hiding the extent of your gambling from family or friends.
• Gambling with money meant for bills, rent, food, or other essentials.
• Feeling restless or irritable when trying to cut down or stop gambling.
• Lying about time or money spent on gambling.
• Borrowing money or selling possessions to fund gambling.
• Neglecting work, study, or relationships because of gambling.
• Believing that a big win will solve all your problems.

If you recognise several of these signs in yourself or someone you care about, please take action and reach out for help.

Self-Help Tools

Most reputable gambling platforms provide practical tools to help you stay in control. These may include:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can add to your account within a day, week, or month.
• Loss Limits: Cap the amount of money you can lose over a set period.
• Reality Checks: Receive reminders that show how long you have been playing and how much you have spent.
• Self-Exclusion: Block yourself from accessing your account for a chosen period, from days to permanent exclusion.
• Time-Out Periods: Take a short break from gambling for 24 hours, a week, or longer.

Check the responsible gaming or safer gambling section of any platform you use to activate these tools.
