Gambling Should Be Entertainment, Not Income

Online gambling should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only. It is not a reliable way to earn money or solve financial problems. Please gamble only with money you can afford to lose, and always view any winnings as a bonus rather than an expected outcome.

Age Verification

You must be 18 years of age or older to gamble online in Australia. This is a legal requirement. If you are under 18, please do not use gambling services. We take age verification seriously and comply with all Australian gambling regulations.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Please be aware of the following warning signs. If you recognise any of these behaviours in yourself or someone else, help is available:

• Chasing losses by gambling more to try to recover money lost
• Gambling with increasing amounts of money to achieve the same level of excitement
• Difficulty controlling, cutting back, or stopping gambling
• Becoming secretive or defensive about gambling activities
• Neglecting family, work, or other responsibilities due to gambling
• Using gambling to escape problems, stress, or negative emotions
• Borrowing money or going into debt to fund gambling
• Experiencing mood swings or irritability when unable to gamble
• Lying to friends or family about gambling activities or losses
• Feeling a loss of control or inability to stop despite wanting to
