Responsible Gaming
Gambling Should Be Entertainment, Not Income
At Aller University, we believe that gambling should only ever be viewed as a form of entertainment, similar to going to the cinema or attending a sporting event. It should never be considered a way to earn money or solve financial problems. The odds are always in favour of the house, and you should only ever gamble with money you can afford to lose.
We are committed to promoting responsible gambling practices across our platform and encourage all users to gamble responsibly and within their means.
Age Verification
Gambling in Australia is only legal for individuals aged 18 years or older. By using this website and participating in any gambling activities, you confirm that you are at least 18 years of age and meet all local legal requirements in your jurisdiction.
We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of age at any time. Underage gambling is illegal and can have serious consequences.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually. If you recognise any of the following signs in yourself or someone you know, it may be time to seek help:
- Spending more time and money on gambling than intended
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- Hiding gambling activities or lying about the amount spent
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when trying to cut down or stop
- Gambling to escape problems, stress, or negative emotions
- Neglecting work, study, family, or relationships due to gambling
- Borrowing money or going into debt to fund gambling
- Failed attempts to reduce or stop gambling
- Experiencing financial difficulties as a result of gambling
- Losing interest in other hobbies and activities
If you have experienced three or more of these signs in the past 12 months, you may have a gambling problem and should seek professional help.
Self-Help Tools & Resources
Many gambling operators and organisations offer tools to help you maintain control over your gambling. These include:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you are willing to deposit within a specific time period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you are willing to lose before stopping play
- Reality Checks: Receive periodic reminders of how long you have been playing and how much you have spent
- Time-Out: Take a break from gambling for a set period (typically 24 hours to several weeks)
- Self-Exclusion: Voluntarily exclude yourself from gambling for an extended period (typically 6 months or longer)
- Account Closure: Permanently close your account if you wish to stop gambling entirely
We encourage you to use these tools proactively, even if you do not currently perceive a problem. They are designed to help you maintain healthy gambling habits.
