Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At Endeavour Web, we believe that online gaming should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. While gaming can be fun and exciting, it's important to approach it responsibly and within your means.
Set a budget you can afford to lose, treat any winnings as a bonus, and never gamble with money needed for essential expenses like rent, bills, or food.
Age Verification
In Australia, you must be at least 18 years of age to access and participate in online gaming. We take age verification seriously and comply with all local regulations. By accessing our site, you confirm that you are of legal age to gamble in your jurisdiction.
Parents and guardians: if you're concerned about a young person's gaming activity, please reach out to the support organizations listed below.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Do you recognize any of these warning signs? They may indicate a gambling problem:
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money you've lost
- Hiding your gambling activity or lying about how much you're gambling
- Gambling with money intended for bills, rent, or other essential expenses
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when not gambling
- Needing to gamble with larger amounts to feel the same excitement
- Failed attempts to cut back or stop gambling
- Neglecting work, studies, family, or social relationships due to gambling
- Using gambling to escape problems or relieve stress
- Borrowing money to gamble or pay gambling debts
- Experiencing depression, anxiety, or suicidal thoughts related to gambling
If you recognize any of these signs in yourself or someone you know, please seek help immediately.
Self-Help Tools & Safer Gaming Features
Most reputable online gaming platforms, including those featured on our site, offer tools to help you stay in control:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Set a limit on the amount you're willing to lose during a gaming session
- Reality Checks: Receive pop-up reminders during your gaming session about how long you've been playing and how much you've spent
- Session Time Limits: Set automatic logout times to prevent extended gaming sessions
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from a gaming platform to take a break or stop entirely
