Responsible Gaming
Introduction
At Alexiou Racing, we're committed to promoting responsible gambling practices. Casino games and online betting should be enjoyed purely as entertainment, never as a way to make money or solve financial problems. Gambling always carries the risk of losing money, and it's important to gamble only what you can afford to lose.
If you're in Australia, you must be at least 18 years old to participate in online gambling. We encourage all players to gamble responsibly and within their means.
Age Verification
Online gambling in Australia is restricted to individuals aged 18 years and over. By accessing and using our services, you confirm that you are of legal age to gamble in your jurisdiction. We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of age at any time.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually. If you recognise any of the following signs in your own behaviour, 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, friends, or partners
- Gambling with money intended for essential expenses (rent, bills, groceries)
- Increasing the amount you gamble to achieve the same level of excitement
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when trying to reduce gambling
- Neglecting work, school, hobbies, or relationships due to gambling
- Borrowing money or going into debt to fund gambling
- Lying about the extent of your gambling
- Unable to stick to self-imposed gambling limits
- Viewing gambling as a solution to financial or emotional problems
Self-Help Tools
We provide a range of responsible gambling tools to help you maintain control of your gaming:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to deposit within a specified timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Establish a cap on losses you're prepared to accept during a gaming session
- Reality Checks: Enable regular reminders during play to help you track time and money spent
- Session Time Limits: Set automatic session duration limits to prevent extended play
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from your account if you feel your gambling is becoming problematic
These tools are available through your account settings. We encourage you to use them proactively to manage your gambling behaviour.
