Responsible Gaming

This page sets out practical habits worth applying before following any operator link on this site, and it states plainly what this site can and cannot do around gambling controls. Everything described here is limited to what this build actually contains: a set of static pages and a set of links.

Decide the amount and the limit before you start

Working out a fixed amount before opening any operator's site, and treating that amount as already spent, removes the pressure of deciding in the moment when judgement is less reliable. Money set aside for gambling should never come from money that is borrowed or earmarked for bills, because a loss then affects more than the gambling itself. If a session moves into a loss, stopping rather than chasing the loss with a bigger stake matters practically: chasing tends to increase the size of the loss rather than recover it. Taking a break at a set point, and stepping away completely if gambling stops feeling like entertainment and starts feeling necessary, are habits worth setting up in advance rather than deciding on the fly. If gambling is affecting money, mood or relationships, it helps to involve someone else early — a family member, a friend, or one of the organisations listed below — rather than waiting for the situation to worsen.

Know what this site links to and what it does not run

Every page on this site, including this one, carries links to three independent gambling-help organisations: gambleaware.nsw.gov.au, gamblinghelponline.org.au, and responsiblegambling.vic.gov.au. Those three links are the only outbound links on the whole site that are not commercial. Unlike the operator links, they carry no sponsored marking, they are set to nofollow, and they open in a separate tab on the organisations' own websites. This site receives nothing when a reader follows them.

Controls such as deposit caps, loss caps, reality checks, cooling-off periods or self-exclusion belong to an account held with an operator. This build has no account, no form and no server-side application, so nothing published on this site can switch one of those controls on, check one, or enforce one. Nobody's age is verified on this site and no gambling takes place on it — any check of that kind happens at the destination, after an operator link is followed. There is no advertising or behavioural profiling network on these pages, so nothing here is targeted at a reader based on prior behaviour.

The eighteen-and-over restriction is repeated throughout this site, including on the front page and at the end of every operator listing. Each of the ten operator listings closes with the same line: check availability and the current terms at the destination before claiming anything, because eligibility rules and terms apply there and can change without notice. Anything a reader can actually do with money happens after leaving this site — each operator link redirects to a third party, and from that point the destination's own rules, checks and account controls apply, not anything published here.
