Responsible Gaming
Our Commitment to You
At Artificial Grass Brisbane, we are committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. Gambling should be enjoyed as entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Please gamble responsibly and within your means.
Age Verification
Online betting in Australia is restricted to individuals aged 18 years and over. By accessing any betting site, you confirm that you are of legal age in your jurisdiction. We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of age at any time.
It is illegal for minors to participate in gambling activities. If you are under 18, please do not attempt to access betting services.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can affect anyone. If you recognise any of the following signs in yourself or someone you know, it may be time to seek help:
- Chasing losses by gambling more money to recover what you've lost
- Hiding your gambling activities from family or friends
- Gambling with money needed for essential expenses (rent, food, bills)
- Spending more time or money on gambling than intended
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when unable to gamble
- Borrowing money to gamble or pay gambling debts
- Neglecting work, school, family, or personal relationships due to gambling
- Lying to others about how much you gamble
- Using gambling as a way to escape problems or emotional distress
- Failed attempts to reduce or stop gambling
Self-Help Tools
Most responsible betting sites offer tools to help you stay in control of your gambling:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to lose in a given period
- Reality Checks: Receive regular reminders of how long you've been gambling and how much you've spent
- Self-Exclusion: Voluntarily exclude yourself from a betting site for a set period or permanently
- Account Closure: Temporarily suspend or permanently close your betting account
We encourage you to use these tools proactively to manage your gambling activity.
