Responsible Gaming

Gambling Should Be Entertainment, Not Income

At saveourkangaroos.com, we believe responsible gaming is essential. Gambling should only ever be viewed as a form of entertainment, similar to going to the cinema or attending a sporting event. It should never be considered a way to earn money or solve financial problems.

Only gamble with money you can afford to lose, and always set strict limits before you begin.

Age Verification

By accessing any betting sites recommended on saveourkangaroos.com, you confirm that you are 18 years of age or older (or the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction). In Australia, the legal minimum age for gambling is 18 years.

We are committed to preventing underage gambling. If you are under 18, please do not attempt to gamble.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can develop gradually. If you recognise any of the following signs in yourself or someone you know, it may be time to seek help:

• Chasing losses: Continuing to gamble to recover money you've lost
• Hiding gambling: Being secretive about the amount of time or money spent gambling
• Increasing stakes: Needing to gamble with larger amounts to get the same excitement
• Neglecting responsibilities: Missing work, school, or family commitments due to gambling
• Financial problems: Borrowing money or going into debt to fund gambling
• Failed attempts to stop: Repeatedly trying and failing to cut back or quit
• Mood changes: Becoming irritable, anxious, or depressed when unable to gamble
• Using gambling to escape: Gambling to cope with stress, anxiety, or other emotional problems
• Lying about gambling: Deceiving family, friends, or others about your gambling habits

Self-Help Tools & Safer Gambling Features

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

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific time period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
• Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount of losses you're willing to accept
• Reality Checks: Receive reminders about how long you've been gambling and how much you've wagered
• Time-Out/Cool-Off Periods: Temporarily suspend your account for a set period (hours, days, or weeks)
• Self-Exclusion: Permanently or temporarily close your account and exclude yourself from all betting sites
• Account Restrictions: Set spending caps or disable certain betting features

Use these tools proactively. Taking control is a sign of strength, not weakness.
