Responsible Gaming
Gambling Should Be Entertainment, Not Income
Betting sites and online gambling should only be enjoyed as a form of entertainment. It is important to understand that gambling is never a reliable way to earn money or solve financial problems. Always gamble with money you can afford to lose, and never view it as an investment or income source.
Set a budget before you play, treat any losses as the cost of entertainment, and remember that the house always has an edge in the long run.
Age Verification
Gambling in Australia is restricted to individuals who are 18 years of age or older. It is your responsibility to verify that you meet the legal age requirement in your jurisdiction before accessing any betting site.
By accessing this site, you confirm that you are 18 years of age or older and legally permitted to gamble in your location.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognise any of the following behaviours in yourself or someone else, it may indicate a problem with gambling:
- Chasing losses: Trying to win back money you have lost by gambling more
- Hiding gambling activity: Keeping your gambling secret from family or friends
- Loss of control: Being unable to stick to your budget or stop when you planned to
- Neglecting responsibilities: Missing work, school, or family commitments due to gambling
- Gambling with borrowed money: Using credit cards, loans, or borrowed funds to gamble
- Mood changes: Becoming irritable, anxious, or depressed when unable to gamble
- Escalating stakes: Needing to gamble with increasing amounts of money to get the same thrill
- Failed attempts to quit: Repeatedly trying and failing to reduce or stop gambling
- Lying about gambling: Being dishonest with loved ones about how much time or money you spend gambling
Self-Help Tools and Strategies
Most online betting sites offer tools to help you maintain control of your gambling. Use these features to gamble responsibly:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit in a specified timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount of losses you are willing to accept in a given period
- Betting Limits: Restrict the maximum stake you can place on individual bets
- Reality Checks: Enable pop-up reminders during your gaming session to check how long and how much you've been playing
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from a betting site if you feel you are losing control
- Time-Out: Take a break from gambling for a set period without permanently closing your account
If you are unable to control your gambling, use the self-exclusion tools available on the site or seek help from a support organisation listed below.
