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. It's important to understand that the house always has an edge, and losses are a real possibility. Set realistic expectations and play within your means.
Age Verification
In Australia, you must be 18 years of age or older to participate in online gaming activities. This is a legal requirement under Australian gambling laws. By accessing our site, you confirm that you meet this age requirement.
Parents and guardians: if you're concerned about a young person's gaming habits, please reach out to the support organizations listed below.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop without you realizing it. Watch for these warning signs:
- Chasing losses by gambling more to try to recover money lost
- Hiding your gambling activities from family or friends
- Gambling with money needed for essential expenses (rent, food, bills)
- Borrowing money to fund gambling activities
- Losing track of time while gaming
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when not gambling
- Neglecting work, school, or personal relationships due to gambling
- Lying about the amount of time or money spent on gambling
- Failed attempts to reduce or stop gambling
- Using gambling to escape problems or negative emotions
If you recognize any of these signs in your own behaviour, it's important to seek help immediately.
Self-Help Tools
Most responsible gaming platforms offer tools to help you maintain control of your gaming:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to deposit within a specific time period (daily, weekly, monthly).
- Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to lose before stopping for a defined period.
- Reality Checks: Receive reminders at regular intervals during play sessions to help you stay aware of how long and how much you've been playing.
- Session Time Limits: Set a maximum duration for your gaming sessions.
- Self-Exclusion: Take a break from gaming by temporarily or permanently excluding yourself from your account.
- Account Closure: Permanently close your account if you decide to stop gaming entirely.
We encourage you to use these tools proactively to maintain a healthy gaming experience.
