Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At aussubs100.com, we believe that online gaming should be an enjoyable form of entertainment, not a way to earn money or solve financial problems. While gaming can be exciting and fun, it's important to approach it responsibly and understand the risks involved.
Always remember: the house has an edge, and you should only gamble with money you can afford to lose.
Age Verification
In Australia, you must be 18 years of age or older to participate in online gaming and gambling activities. It is your responsibility to ensure you meet the legal age requirement in your jurisdiction before accessing any gaming platforms.
We take age verification seriously and encourage parents and guardians to use content filters and monitoring tools to prevent underage access to gambling websites.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually. Be aware of these warning signs:
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money you've lost
- Gambling with money intended for essential expenses (rent, bills, food)
- Hiding your gambling activity from family, friends, or partners
- Feeling anxious or irritable when unable to gamble
- Neglecting work, school, hobbies, or relationships due to gambling
- Borrowing money or going into debt to fund gambling
- Repeatedly trying and failing to control or reduce gambling
- Using gambling to escape problems or negative emotions
- Gambling for longer periods than intended
- Experiencing physical symptoms like sleep deprivation or stress
If you recognise any of these signs in yourself or someone you know, it's important to seek help immediately.
Self-Help Tools & Safer Gaming Features
Most responsible gaming platforms offer tools to help you maintain control. Consider using:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to lose in a given period
- Reality Checks: Receive pop-up reminders of how long you've been gaming and how much you've spent
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from gaming platforms
- Time-Out: Take a break from gaming for a set period without closing your account
- Account Closure: Permanently close your account if needed
These tools are designed to help you gamble more responsibly. Take advantage of them.
