Responsible Gaming

Gaming Should Be Entertainment

At w6toowoomba.com, we are committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. Gambling should only ever be viewed as a form of entertainment, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Please gamble responsibly and within your means.

If you choose to play at online casinos, do so for fun and with money you can afford to lose. Never chase losses or gamble with funds needed for essential expenses such as rent, utilities, or groceries.

Age Verification

Online gambling in Australia is only available to individuals who are 18 years of age or older. We strictly comply with Australian gambling laws and regulations.

By accessing and using our website, you confirm that you are at least 18 years old and meet all legal requirements to participate in online gambling in your jurisdiction.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

If you recognise any of the following behaviours in yourself or someone you know, it may indicate a gambling problem:

• Chasing losses by gambling with increasing amounts of money
• Spending more time and money on gambling than intended
• Hiding gambling activity from family, friends, or partners
• Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when trying to reduce gambling
• Using gambling to escape problems, stress, or negative emotions
• Borrowing money or going into debt to gamble
• Neglecting work, school, family, or social commitments due to gambling
• Experiencing relationship problems or financial difficulties caused by gambling
• Lying about the extent of your gambling activities
• Needing to gamble with larger amounts to achieve the same excitement

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

Self-Help Tools and Protective Measures

We encourage all players to use the following tools to help manage their gambling:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount of money you are willing to deposit and play with during a specific period (daily, weekly, or monthly).
• Loss Limits: Establish a limit on the maximum amount of money you are prepared to lose before you stop playing.
• Reality Checks: Enable pop-up reminders that appear at regular intervals to keep you aware of how long you have been playing.
• Time Limits: Set a timer for your gaming sessions and stick to it.
• Self-Exclusion: If you are unable to control your gambling, you can request temporary or permanent self-exclusion from casino platforms. This prevents you from accessing your account and gambling.
• Take Regular Breaks: Step away from gaming regularly to maintain perspective.
