Responsible Gaming

Gaming Should Be Entertainment

At Avonlee, we believe that online gaming should be enjoyed as entertainment only. Gambling is never a reliable way to earn money or solve financial problems. Playing should always be for fun, within your means, and with money you can afford to lose.

If you find yourself gambling to escape problems, recover losses, or earn income, it may be time to reassess your relationship with gaming and seek support.

Age Verification

Online gaming in Australia is only available to players who are 18 years of age or older. This is a legal requirement to protect minors from the risks associated with gambling.

By accessing our site, you confirm that you are of legal age in your jurisdiction and that you comply with all applicable laws and regulations regarding online gaming.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Do any of these apply to you?

• Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money you've lost
• Hiding or lying about the time and money spent gambling
• Neglecting family, work, or personal responsibilities due to gaming
• Borrowing money or using credit to fund gambling
• Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when not gambling
• Gambling with increasingly larger amounts to achieve the same excitement
• Failed attempts to cut back or stop gambling
• Using gambling to escape stress, anxiety, depression, or personal problems
• Risk of losing important relationships or job opportunities due to gambling

If you've recognised any of these signs in your own behaviour, please reach out for support immediately.

Self-Help Tools & Controls

Most responsible gaming operators provide built-in tools to help you maintain control:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a daily, weekly, or monthly period
• Loss Limits: Cap the amount you're willing to lose over a set timeframe
• Reality Checks: Receive notifications at regular intervals reminding you how long and how much you've been playing
• Session Time Limits: Automatically log out after a predetermined period
• Self-Exclusion: Take a break from gambling by temporarily or permanently excluding yourself from gaming platforms

These tools are designed to empower you to gamble responsibly. Don't hesitate to use them.
