Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
Gambling should only ever be viewed as a form of entertainment, not as a way to make money or solve financial problems. Please gamble responsibly and within your means. If you find that your gambling is becoming a concern, help and support are available.
Age Verification
You must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction) to participate in gambling activities. Underage gambling is illegal and harmful. If you are under 18, please do not gamble.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Please be aware of the following warning signs that may indicate problem gambling:
- Regularly gambling with money you cannot afford to lose
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- Hiding your gambling from friends, family, or partners
- Gambling for longer periods or with larger amounts than intended
- Neglecting work, education, or family responsibilities due to gambling
- Borrowing money or using credit to finance gambling
- Experiencing anxiety, guilt, or mood swings related to gambling
- Unsuccessful attempts to reduce or stop gambling
- Using gambling to escape problems or emotional distress
- Physical symptoms such as restlessness or irritability when not gambling
If you recognise any of these signs, please seek help immediately.
