Responsible Gaming

Gambling Should Be Entertainment

At Wyndham TF, we believe that gambling should only ever be viewed as a form of entertainment, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Betting should be fun, social, and within your means. If you find yourself relying on gambling for income or using it to recover losses, it's time to seek help.

Please gamble responsibly and within your limits.

Age Verification

In Australia, you must be at least 18 years of age to legally gamble on betting sites. It is your responsibility to verify that you meet the legal age requirement in your jurisdiction before placing any bets.

If you are under the legal gambling age, please do not use any betting services. Parents and guardians are encouraged to monitor young people's online activity.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can affect anyone. If you recognize any of the following signs in your own behaviour, please seek help:

• Chasing losses: Trying to win back money you've lost by gambling more
• Hiding gambling: Concealing the amount of time or money you spend gambling from family or friends
• Loss of control: Unable to stop gambling or stick to a budget
• Neglecting responsibilities: Missing work, school, or family commitments due to gambling
• Gambling with borrowed money: Using loans, credit cards, or money meant for bills to gamble
• Mood swings: Becoming irritable or anxious when unable to gamble
• Escalating stakes: Needing to bet more money to get the same excitement
• Failed attempts to quit: Repeatedly trying and failing to reduce gambling
• Using gambling to escape: Gambling to cope with stress, anxiety, depression, or other problems
• Financial problems: Experiencing debt, unpaid bills, or financial hardship as a result of gambling

If you identify with any of these signs, support is available.

Self-Help Tools & Limits

Most reputable betting sites offer responsible gaming tools to help you stay in control:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount of money you can deposit within a specific timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly)
• Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount of money you're willing to lose before you must stop gambling
• Reality Checks: Receive regular notifications reminding you how long you've been gambling and how much you've spent
• Time Limits: Set session time limits to control how long you gamble in one sitting
• Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from a betting site if you need a break
• Account Closure: Close your account if you wish to stop gambling entirely

We recommend using these tools proactively, even if you don't currently have concerns about your gambling.
