Responsible Gaming
Gambling should always be a form of entertainment, not a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Always play responsibly and within your means. If gambling stops being fun, it’s time to seek help.
Age Verification
You must be 18 years of age or older (or the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction, if higher) to gamble. Underage gambling is illegal and harmful. We encourage all players to verify their age and identity before participating in any gambling activity.
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 – trying to win back money you have lost
- Hiding or lying about your gambling habits from family and friends
- Spending more money or time gambling than you can afford
- Neglecting work, study, or relationships because of gambling
- Borrowing money or selling possessions to gamble
- Feeling anxious, guilty, or depressed after gambling
- Being unable to stop or reduce gambling despite repeated attempts
- Using gambling as an escape from stress or personal problems
Self-Help Tools
Many gambling sites offer tools to help you stay in control:
- Deposit limits – set a maximum amount you can deposit over a day, week, or month
- Loss limits – cap the amount you can lose within a set period
- Reality checks – receive reminders about how long you have been playing
- Time-out periods – take a short break from gambling for 24 hours, a week, or longer
- Self-exclusion – block yourself from gambling sites for a set period or permanently
