Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
Online gambling should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only, never as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. While gambling can be fun and exciting, it's important to understand that the odds are always in favour of the house. Please gamble responsibly and only with money you can afford to lose.
Age Verification
You must be at least 18 years of age or the legal age required in your Australian state or territory to participate in online gambling. We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of age at any time.
If you are under the legal gambling age, please do not use our services. Gambling by minors is illegal and can cause serious harm.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognise any of the following signs in yourself or someone you know, it may indicate a gambling problem:
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- Gambling with money needed for essential expenses (rent, bills, food)
- Hiding gambling activities or lying about the amount spent
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when not gambling
- Needing to gamble with increasing amounts to achieve the same excitement
- Unsuccessful attempts to reduce or stop gambling
- Neglecting family, work, or personal responsibilities due to gambling
- Borrowing money or going into debt to gamble
- Gambling to escape problems, stress, or negative emotions
- Loss of control over gambling behaviour
