Responsible Gaming
Introduction
At our affiliate platform, we believe gambling should be enjoyed as entertainment only. Betting should never be considered a way to earn money or solve financial problems. If you find yourself gambling to make money or recover losses, it's time to seek help.
Gamble for fun, not for income. Set a budget you can afford to lose and stick to it.
Age Verification
You must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction) to participate in gambling activities. It is illegal for anyone under 18 to gamble in Australia. By using any affiliated betting site, you confirm you meet this legal requirement.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Do any of these apply to you? If so, problem gambling may be developing:
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- Hiding your gambling habits from friends or family
- Gambling with money needed for essentials (rent, food, bills)
- Feeling anxious or irritable when not gambling
- Spending more time or money on gambling than intended
- Neglecting work, study, or relationships due to gambling
- Borrowing money to fund gambling activities
- Unable to stop or cut back despite trying
- Experiencing mood swings or depression related to gambling
- Lying about the extent of your gambling
Self-Help Tools
Most reputable betting sites offer responsible gaming tools to help you stay in control:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specified period (daily, weekly, monthly)
- Loss Limits: Cap the amount you're willing to lose in a set timeframe
- Reality Checks: Receive pop-up reminders of how long you've been gambling and how much you've spent
- Time Limits: Set automatic session timeouts to prevent extended gambling periods
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from betting sites
- Account Closure: Request permanent account closure if needed
Use these tools proactively. They are designed to protect you.
