Responsible Gambling

Responsible Gambling Principles

Responsible gambling means keeping gambling separate from essential finances, daily responsibilities and emotional decision-making. It also means accepting that every gambling activity carries financial risk and that outcomes cannot be controlled by the player.

This page is provided for general harm-minimisation information. It is not a substitute for professional support or for the responsible gambling tools that may be available through the destination platform.

Adult Access Only

Gambling services are intended for adults only. Visitors must be at least 18 years old and must also comply with the laws that apply in their location. Anyone who does not meet the age requirement or is unsure about local rules should not continue to any gambling service.

Personal Limits Before Use

Limits are most useful when they are set before any account activity begins. A visitor should decide how much time and money can be spent without affecting rent, bills, food, debt payments, family obligations or savings.

• Money limit: Set a fixed amount that can be lost without affecting essential needs.
• Time limit: Decide when the session must end and take breaks away from the screen.
• Payment control: Avoid using credit, borrowed money or funds held for another purpose.
• Cooling-off rule: Stop after stress, frustration or an urge to recover previous losses.

Warning Signs

Gambling may be becoming harmful if it starts to affect mood, finances, honesty or daily routines. Warning signs can include:

• spending more time or money than planned;
• hiding gambling activity from family, partners or friends;
• borrowing money or delaying bills because of gambling;
• trying to recover losses by continuing longer than intended;
• feeling anxious, angry or restless when attempting to stop;
• missing work, study, sleep or social commitments because of gambling.

Platform Controls

The destination platform may provide account tools such as deposit limits, session reminders, time-outs, self-exclusion or support contact options. These tools should be used early, before gambling becomes difficult to control.

If a restriction is needed, visitors should follow the responsible gambling or support process shown on the destination platform. This website cannot apply account limits or exclusions directly.

Steps to Take When Risk Increases

1. Stop the session and avoid making further deposits.
2. Remove saved payment methods where the platform allows it.
3. Use a time-out or self-exclusion tool if available.
4. Tell a trusted person about the concern.
5. Seek confidential support from a recognised help service.

Support in Australia

Australian visitors who are worried about gambling can look for local support services such as Gambling Help Online, state-based gambling help services or qualified financial counselling. Support can also be useful for family members or friends affected by another person's gambling.

No Income Expectation

Gambling should never be treated as a way to earn income, solve financial pressure or respond to stress. If gambling is no longer affordable entertainment, the safest step is to stop and seek support before using any gambling service again.
