Responsible Gaming

Gaming Should Be Entertainment

Online betting should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. The odds in all games are designed to favour the operator, meaning that over time, players are more likely to lose money than win.

Please gamble responsibly and only bet what you can afford to lose. If you find yourself struggling to control your gambling, help is available.

Age Verification

In Australia, online betting is only legal for individuals aged 18 years and over. By accessing gldaustralia.org, you confirm that you are of legal age to gamble in your jurisdiction.

We are committed to preventing underage gambling. If you are under 18, please do not attempt to register or place bets on our affiliated platforms.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

If you recognise any of the following signs in yourself or someone you know, problem gambling may be developing:

• Chasing losses by gambling more to try to win back money you've lost
• Spending more time and money on gambling than intended
• Hiding gambling activity or lying to family and friends about how much you gamble
• Borrowing money or using credit to fund gambling
• Neglecting work, study, or family responsibilities due to gambling
• Feeling anxious, irritable, or stressed when unable to gamble
• Experiencing mood swings or emotional distress related to gambling outcomes
• Attempting to cut down or stop gambling but being unable to do so
• Gambling to escape problems, stress, or negative feelings
• Experiencing damage to relationships, finances, or health as a result of gambling

If you experience any of these warning signs, please reach out for support immediately.

Self-Help Tools & Controls

Most reputable online betting operators provide tools to help you gamble responsibly:

• Deposit Limits: Set a daily, weekly, or monthly limit on the amount you can deposit
• Loss Limits: Cap the maximum amount you're willing to lose in a given period
• Betting Limits: Restrict the size of individual bets you can place
• Reality Checks: Receive pop-up reminders about how long you've been gambling and how much you've spent
• Time-Out: Take a temporary break from gambling for a set period (hours or days)
• Self-Exclusion: Voluntarily exclude yourself from gambling platforms for a longer period (weeks, months, or years)

We encourage you to use these tools proactively. They are designed to give you control over your gambling behaviour.
