Responsible Gaming

Gambling Should Be Entertainment

At 13 Melbourne Cab Services Betting Sites, we believe gambling should only ever be viewed as entertainment, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Betting should be fun and within your means – if it stops being enjoyable, it's time to seek help.

Please gamble responsibly and within your limits. Only wager what you can afford to lose.

Age Verification

In Australia, you must be 18 years of age or older to participate in gambling activities. It is illegal for persons under 18 to place bets or access betting services.

We take age verification seriously and will not provide services to anyone under the legal gambling age in their jurisdiction.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

If you recognise any of the following warning signs in yourself or someone you know, problem gambling may be developing:

• Spending more time or money on gambling than intended
• Chasing losses by gambling more to win back money
• Hiding gambling activities or lying about the amount wagered
• Gambling to escape problems, stress, or negative feelings
• Neglecting family, work, or other important responsibilities
• Borrowing money or using savings to fund gambling
• Feeling irritable or anxious when unable to gamble
• Failed attempts to cut back or stop gambling
• Experiencing financial difficulties due to gambling
• Relationships suffering because of gambling habits

If you tick any of these boxes, please reach out for support immediately.

Self-Help Tools & Player Protection

Most reputable betting sites offer tools to help you maintain control of your gambling:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific timeframe
• Loss Limits: Limit the amount you're willing to lose in a given period
• Reality Checks: Receive reminders about how long you've been gambling and how much you've wagered
• Session Limits: Set time restrictions on your gambling sessions
• Self-Exclusion: Take a break from gambling by temporarily or permanently closing your account
• Cool-Off Periods: Pause your account for a set duration to reflect on your gambling habits

We encourage you to use these tools proactively to keep your gambling in check.
