Responsible Gaming

Gambling Should Be Entertainment, Not Income

At Grandstand Inc, we're committed to promoting responsible gambling. Betting should only ever be viewed as a form of entertainment with money you can afford to lose — never as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. If you find yourself relying on gambling for income, or if your betting is causing distress, please reach out for support immediately.

Age Verification

Gambling is only legal for persons aged 18 years or older in Australia. We take age verification seriously and do not permit access to our services by anyone under the legal gambling age. If you are under 18, please do not use our website or place bets.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can develop gradually. If you recognise any of the following signs in your own behaviour, please seek help:

• Chasing losses by betting more to recover money you've lost
• Hiding gambling activity from family, friends, or partners
• Betting with money needed for essential expenses (rent, bills, groceries)
• Increasing bet amounts to achieve the same level of excitement
• Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when trying to reduce or stop gambling
• Neglecting work, study, family, or social commitments due to gambling
• Borrowing money to fund gambling activities
• Lying about time spent gambling or money lost
• Failed attempts to cut back or control gambling
• Using gambling to escape problems or difficult emotions

If you've ticked any of these boxes, help is available and recovery is possible.

Self-Help Tools

Most responsible betting operators, including those reviewed on our site, offer the following tools to help you maintain control:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specified time period (daily, weekly, monthly)
• Loss Limits: Cap the amount of money you're willing to lose over a given period
• Reality Checks: Receive pop-up reminders of how long you've been gambling and how much you've spent
• Time Limits: Set automatic session time limits, after which you'll be logged out
• Self-Exclusion: Voluntarily exclude yourself from a betting site for a period you choose (typically 6 months to 5 years)
• Account Closure: Permanently close your account if you wish to stop gambling entirely

We encourage you to use these tools as part of your responsible gambling strategy.
